The Cuisinart 14-cup food processor, the creme de la creme.

Connie Rice

A food processor, such as the original Cuisinart, makes many tasks in the kitchen so much easier.  Grating carrots for a carrot cake recipe, chopping cabbage for a cole slaw recipe, or even just blending together ingredients for a chocolate chip cookie recipe using a food processor cut the preparation time at least in half. 

These recipes incorporate the use of a food processor to its best advantage:

Cole Slaw Recipe - Finely chopped ingredients have a fabulous texture in cole slaw. 

Carrot Cake Recipe - Would you rather grate several cups by hand?

Mushroom Pate Spread - Such a quick and easy way to make a superlative dish.

Peach Salsa Recipe - Once again the texture makes the salsa significantly better. 

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Recipe - Just don't process the chips - add those by hand at the end!

Parmesan Artichoke Dip - Blend ingredients in the processor then bake for a warm appetizer.

Cucumber Dill Sauce - The perfect accompaniment to seafood and more. 

The next time you think a food processor is just a fancy accessory for an overindulged kitchen, think again.  For many home chefs it has become a necessity as well as a path to better cooking.
