200 Best Panini Recipes

We just recently purchased our Panini maker and wanted a nice book other than the generic recipes that came with the appliance. We purchased this book based on the reviews. It arrived a few days later, in perfect condition. We can't be happier with the quality of this book! While not every panini has it's own picture, there are many that do and their pictures are high quality color, full page photo's with identification and page number. This wasn't a problem for us because the name of a panini in addition to it's ingredient list gives us enough information as to the appearance of the final product. It comes as a soft cover book which is easily stored away and seems to be bound well. The book is divided into wonderful sections...Breakfast and Bruch Panini; Vegetarian Panini; Fish and Seafood; Chicken and Turkey; Beef; Pork; Deli Counter Panini; Leftovers; Panini's Just for Kids; Desserts; and even a section for making some of your own delicious home-made condiments which compliment your panini's! The Olive Tapenade, Sun-Dried Tomato Mayonnaise and Jalapeno Mayonnaise are delicious! There are many others I hope to try soon! All and all...the format of the book makes it quick and easy to find a truely delicious panini your own "food-mood" at the time. We've tried a number of the recipes within the Beef, Deli, and Chicken catagories. Each one was outstanding! We had guest's for New Years; served several of the various recipes with Champagne and it was a big hit! The platter was beautiful and everyone commented on having to invest in a Panini maker. My husband pulled out this cookbook....saying "Don't forget THIS"! I think one of the most important things you get out of the book (besides GREAT recipes) comes from looking at the pictures, the ingredient lists, the condiments and the different catagories. From these, you get a very good understanding of the fact that there are NO hard rules with panini making AND from these, you begin to formulate ideas for your own creations. Some of the ingredients used in the recipes, I would have never thought of on my own! That's what makes it such a great book! It allows you to build a fantastic panini from a recipe OR when you're in the mood to be creative, gives you a foundation to expland on for the creation of your own! I collect recipe books and USE them. This one resides on my TOP SHELF!

I bought a pannini press just a few of months ago and can't believe that I've lived so long without one! The sandwiches are wonderful - warm and moist on the inside, yet crispy on the outside. Yes, my family love the pannini sandwiches I've been making and can't seem to get enough of them. But I wanted to expand my repertoire, therefore I decided to purchase this book. The recipes offer combinations of ingredients that I've thought of on my own (for example, chicken cordon blue, eggs and bacon) as well as combinations that I would never have thought of on my own. There are also suggestions about what to do with leftovers. (The leftover turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, etc pannini is to die for.) Best of all, the recipes are not only inspirational but are also so easy to improvise. Just substitute different breads, cheeses, meats, or condiments. I was so happy with this book, that I bought another for my son for his birthday a month ago. Today he told me that he's been in a daze ever since as he's been living in pannini heaven.

I ordered this 200 Best Panini Recipes book from Amazon along with my first Panini Maker, a Cuisinart . Cuisinart GR-1 Griddler Panini and Sandwich Press , and this gives me lots of new ideas to try, using new as well as familiar ingredients and a variety of breads. The unused breadmaker has been pulled back into service as well. So far my husband has enjoyed all of the ones I've tried. I like the variety in the recipe book. It makes sandwich making a lot more more interesting and simple lunches at home more special.

Great delicious recipes.

Has a lot of recipes that are easy to follow but, very few photos

I am a small kitchen appliance junkie and therefore acquired a panini press as well as a combo panini-grill-griddle unit. I use my panini press regularly and this book helps to put spins on different sandwich/panini ideas. It show you how to use similar ingredients to create new and different sandwiches/paninis that are easy to make and tasty to eat.

Took this to our summer house. The recipes are quite easy and taste good. They also served as inspirations for our own recipes and we found our Panini maker a great addition to our kitchen. Everyone gets to make their own, it is easy to clean up, and I found that dinner leftovers (especially meats) are now longer left in the fridge until trash day. Our favorite recipes have been for the different spreads and mayo combinations.

I make panini on my grill pan and also on the outdoor grill. You can panini anything you like - pick your favorite breads and sandwich fillings. This book has lots of great recipes in it. Some of combos I'd never have thought of and others are standards. It's getting close to wedding and graduation season. A Panini grill and this book would make a fantastic gift for either a couple or kids heading off to college.

I bought this cookbook, to go with my new "Hamilton Beach Panini Press Gourmet Sandwich Maker". Everything is so good, that I'm afraid to get on the Scales to weigh myself. Delicious results.

I bought this book for my Mum to go with her new panini machine as the book that came with the machine was rubbish. She absolutely loves this book. It has ideas for every day and the more exotic but all ingredients are easy to source, whereas many books I looked at were obviously American and many ingredients had different names or hard to find in the UK. This book is a real gem.

Full of great ideas for the simple sandwich. Variation of sandwich fillings is just what we needed. I refer to this book at least four times per week.

A great book to use with our kitchen panini appliance. Recipes are down to earth not out of this world. We definitely recommend this book. Cheers...
