Product DescriptionA taste of Italy for casual eating. The panini is a grilled Italian sandwich, a popular menu item in bistros, cafés and delis. Panini is filled with easy-to-use recipes for vegetarian, seafood, meat and dessert sandwiches. Also included are instructions on how to make the best panini, what tools are needed and what ingredients to use. The recipes put a modern twist on celebrated classics such as the Grilled New York Reuben or the BLT Bagini, and create classics-to-be like the Raisin Panini with Maple Syrup and Ice Cream. There are more than 50 recipes for almost every occasion. ReviewsThe book was a dissapointment. I would not have bought it if I had had a chance to look in it.
Am very disappointed in this book - I only marked 3 or 4 that I even wanted to try.
I was a bit disappointed. "Simple Italian Sandwiches" costs more but has a better selection and more information.
I searched for a good panani cookbook to compliment a Christmas gift of a panini press/maker. While it's a small paperback, it has great recipes and it's all panini recipes. I looked at several books in the brick-and-mortar book stores and most gave panani sandwiches a passing glance and moved on to other recipes. At least McAuley stayed with the title of her book and didn't go astray. You'll also find a good mix of breakfast, lunch and dinner offerings and even some tasty all-veggie recipes. It's the best all-panani book I've found so far and well worth the small price.
Jo McAuley's PANINI surveys the grilled Italian sandwich which is becoming so popular in bistros and delis in North America. You'd think panini sounds too exotic to produce at home, but quite the opposite: McAuley demonstrates it's the perfect sanwich for producing in a home kitchen and packs her cookbook with recipes for vegetarian, meat, and even dessert sandwiches to prove it. Color photos face nearly every page and encourage cooks to sample.
