“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
