Overview

“Incredibly delectable panini variations . . . I couldn’t believe how ravenous I was when I finished flipping through the pages.” —Ree Drummond, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Pioneer Woman Cooks

In over 200 recipes and 100 color photographs, Kathy Strah shows how to use this versatile kitchen appliance to make not just sandwiches and panini but also dozens of main-course easy-to-prepare meals great for busy home cooks and families. Kathy includes classics like Croque Monsieur and Reuben panini as well as imaginative creations like a Grilled Asparagus and Prosciutto panini and Chipotle Chicken Quesadillas. There are smaller appetizer panini as well, and a host of breakfast and brunch sandwiches.

Beyond the panini, she creatively uses the panini press to make such things as chicken satay, jerk pork tenderloin, and even grilled fish tacos. An inventive chapter on desserts includes an amazing way to make homemade ice-cream cones in a panini machine, along with after-dinner options such as Grilled Pears with Honey-Whipped Greek Yogurt and Toasted Almonds.

Home cooks will find inspiration on every page, and with clear recipe instructions and ample advice included throughout, The Ultimate Panini Press Cookbook is the first and last word on making the most of a home panini press or countertop grill.

“Cover[s] such basics as appliance features and functions, ingredients, tools, and how-to-use recommendations. Dividing her 205 recipes by protein categories, [the author] borrows from almost every cuisine to fashion paninis (and other grilled foodstuffs) that accommodate a wide variety of kids’ and adults’ tastes.” —Booklist

Read an Excerpt

"Here’s another cookbook I’m very, very, very, very excited about. Kathy Strahs has tackled the subject of panini in the most delicious way. I had the pleasure of getting an advanced peek at her book, and I absolutely died at every page. I couldn’t believe the incredibly delectable panini variations she came up with…and I couldn’t believe how ravenous I was when I finished flipping through the pages.”   -Ree Drummond, award-winning creator of The Pioneer Woman website, and bestselling author of The Pioneer Woman Cooks.   "This book gives you idea after idea after idea, combining ingredients in new ways that make a simple pressed sandwich feel extra-special, like combining apple butter and mustard on a ham sandwich or giving a grilled cheese sandwich a Green Goddess spin. But even with the pages filled with recipes and tips, this book doesn't feel overwhelming. It feels like the kind of book you take down when your dinner plans fall though and you want something quick, easy, and delicious for dinner.   What took this book from a nice collection of panini recipes to something that made me want to break out the panini press were the number of recipes that actually aren't panini. I had never thought of using a panini press to, say, grill chicken for a salad or caramelize the outsides of peaches. Brilliant. Even better are the recipes that take these grilled components and puts them inside of actual panini — it's like panini world's version of inception."   -Emma Christiansen, recipe editor for TheKitchn.com
