For over 50 years, people have looked to one contest for the
most delicious, the most exciting and the most uniquely American
recipes this country's home cooks have to offer. The Pillsbury
Bake-Off® Contest presents the very best of what people today are
cooking for their families and friends. Now, nearly 400 prizewinning
recipes from this famed event are gathered in one book, complete
with gorgeous color photographs and personal profiles highlighting
the people who created the recipes.
The first Bake-Off®
Contest, in 1949, celebrated the culinary trends of the
times—recipes were made from scratch, the ingredient lists and steps
were lengthy and breads and desserts comprised the bulk of the
entries. Today's Bake-Off® entries mirror the changing trends in
home cooking with recipes that are quicker and easier to prepare.
The use of convenience products has increased and flavors from
around the world are featured, as reflected in a brand-new chapter:
Quick & Easy Main Meals. Chicken Florentine Panini, the 2002
Grand Prize winner, is an Italian sandwich that gets its fresh-baked
goodness from refrigerated pizza-crust dough. Bow-Thai Chicken takes
a frozen stir=fry meal starter and combines it with the wonderful
flavors of a Thai peanut sauce.
Pillsbury Best of the
Bake-Off® Cookbook illustrates how home cooks have captured
their ethnic heritages in dishes adapted from their grandparents'
countries to modern kitchens and busier times. The stories are as
inspiring as the recipes themselves, from 1996's Grand Prize winner,
Kurt Wait, a single parent who developed his $1,000,000-winning
recipe, Macadamia Fudge Torte, with the help of his son, to a 2002
winner for her Gnocchi Alfredo Casserole, Kelly Lynne Baxter, who
remembers learning to cook alongside her mom and aunts.
All
the recipes are organized by easy-to-use chapters: Soups, Sandwiches
and Snacks; Main Dishes; Side Dishes and Salads; Breads; Sweet Rolls
and Coffee Cakes; Cookies and Bars; Cakes and Tortes; Pies and
Tarts; and Other Desserts; as well as the new chapter, Quick &
Easy Main Meals. Each chapter is filled with wonderful and often
humorous behind-the-scenes stories from the Bake-Off® Contest
events.
The recipes are sensational; the storeis are
uplifting. Pillsbury Best of the Bake-Off® Cookbook invites
you into the kitchens and lives of the many people who have made the
Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest the most loved and respected showplace
for everyone to share their creative cooking talents.
Pillsbury has been pleasing home cooks with its cookbooks for
almost 100 years. The Pillsbury cookbook line includes a full
collection of titles, ranging from the general all-purpose
Pillsbury Complete Cookbook to specially themed books like
Pillsbury Appetizers, Pillsbury Doughboy ™ Slow Cooker
Recipes and Pillsbury Dough Magic!
