Both DH and I enjoy cooking and we have quite a few cookbooks. Now DH is keen to find one with a lot of recipes which require use of a food processor!

I appreciate that use of a particular gadget is hardly a defining feature of cuisine but often depends on one's preference (I prefer chopping things by hand whilst DH will use Magimix to slice one carrot). There are of course dishes for which a good food processor can really make a difference, and we already have a cookbook for soups and another one for pesto and tapenade (both have been used a lot), and have just bought a small French book on pates and terrines (it seems to require quite expensive ingredients, so not really for everyday cooking).

Do you know of any other cookbooks that could fit the bill? Or perhaps you could suggest what types of dishes call for use of a food processor? Many thanks.

Jamie uses it a lot in his meals in 30 minutes cookbook but from what I have heard don't expect to make any of it in 30 mins and you'll be fine!

Thank you all! We do have some Jamie's books, you are right, he does whizz stuff a lot. Should check out Nigella as well.

Oreocrumbs, thanks for this suggestion, I was looking at this book as well but for some perverted reason BECAUSE it says Foodprocessor Bible I haven't bought it. I know it doesn't make sense, but it's just too much in your face with this title, I was hoping for something more subtle, some sophisticated twist... Aargh, I guess I am going to get it anyway!
