Storing Your Food Processor
Helpful Hints
continued
Processing Bowl storage
• For consistent results, you should try to process pieces of food that are
approximately equal in size. When you break, cut or tear food into
uniform pieces before you begin processing, the finished results will be
more uniform. More consistent processing results are achieved if the
container is not overloaded.
1
Fit the Processor Bowl and Spindle as detailed previously,
in figures 1, and 2.
2
3
Place the Universal S-Blade over the Spindle and snap into place.
• Pre-cut meat into cubes approximately 1” square. It is best to
process very cold meat (not frozen). Always use the Pulse button in
2 second increments.
Place the Variable Slicing blade over the Spindle, see figure 6, and
then fit the processing cover to the processing bowl. Do not lock
the cover onto the bowl, simply place it on top without locking
(for storage only - see figure 7).
• When processing vegetables such as onions, peel and quarter or cut
large vegetables into eighths.
4
Place the food pusher in the feed tube.
• When processing herbs or garlic cloves, best results are achieved when
using the Mini Bowl (purchased separately). Herbs must be dry prior
to processing.
Cord storage
The power cord can be stored by pushing it into the back of the motor
base.
• The quantities that can be processed within the Processing Bowl will
vary with the density of the mixture.
• When various recipes require dry ingredients such as flour, add them
directly into the Processing Bowl before processing. There is no need
to sift ingredients when using your food processor. Liquid ingredients
may be added while the processor is operating by pouring through the
Feed Tube in the processor cover.
• When processing sauces or semi-liquid ingredients, stop the food
processor and scrape down the container sides with the spatula
provided.
• When slicing, shredding and grating, cut all ingredients to a size that
fits comfortably into the Feed Tube. Pack the feed tube and, while
holding food steady and upright with the food pusher, press down
evenly until all ingredients are sliced or shredded. Do not use excessive
force or you may damage the food processor.
Warning: Never use fingers to push food down the feed tube.
Always use the food pusher.
• For best results when slicing, the Feed Tube should always be packed
firmly to allow each piece of food to support the others. There will
always be a small portion of food left unprocessed between the food
pusher and the blade. When using the Variable Slicing Disc, excessive
force will cause food to be sliced unevenly. Only slight pressure is
needed from the food pusher when using this attachment.

Disassembly of Your
Food Processor.
continued
• For best results when shredding and grating remember that softer
foods such as cheese (cheddar, mozzarella or swiss) should be well
chilled (not frozen) before processing. Harder foods such as Parmesan
or Romano cheese should be at room temperature before processing.
Never attempt to shred or grate cheese that cannot be pierced with a
fork or a knife tip.
Warning: Always unplug the unit fiirst, and
wait for the Food Processor to stop moving
completely before removing the cover.
1
Remove the Processing Bowl cover by
turning counter-clockwise and lifting
straight up.
Only grasp under lip
figure 15
2
If using the S-Blade, remove the Spindle
with S-Blade attached. Hold the blade
assembly by grasping under the top lip
(see figure 15). While holding the top lip
firmly, push the Spindle through the blade
assembly (see figure 16). You can also
lightly tap the metal tip of the spindle on
a hard surface (do not tap on wooden
furniture) while holding the S-Blade under
the lip. ( see figures 17 and 18).
figure 16
Use extreme caution, as the S-Blade
is very sharp.

figure 14
3
If using one of the Processing Discs,
remove first by grasping the center
plastic section of the Disc (see figure 19).
Lift straight up to remove, then remove
center shaft.
• The most important factor for successful slicing and shredding is the
way in which the food is packed into the feed tube. To prepare shorter
slices, pack the food items vertically in the feed tube, see figure 12.
To prepare longer slices, pack food items horizontally in the feed tube,
see figure 13. You can also remove the inner clear plastic core from
the Twin Food Pusher to add liquid ingredients or to process single
carrots, celery or other type of food products. See figure 14.

Potato Latkes
Spinach Artichoke Dip
Serves 12
Makes about 2 cups, 4 - 6 servings
The ever-popular potato pancakes of the Jewish kitchen make a
wonderful appetizer, side dish, or even a vegetarian main course.
Who said dip has to be a trip back to the fifties and a bunch of canned
ingredients blended with cream cheese? Creamy mascarpone, goat
cheese and Parmesan combine with artichokes and spinach to make
this fabulous party dip. All it needs is hot, crusty French bread as an
accompaniment to make a great summer appetizer or hors d’oeuvre.
INGREDIENTS
8 medium baking potatoes, peeled
1 medium onion, peeled
Lemon juice
INGREDIENTS
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 egg
3 bunches spinach, washed,
stems removed
1 10 - ounce package
2 tablespoons roasted garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Peanut oil
Freshly grated nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
Watercress, for garnish
Caviar, for garnish (optional)
Applesauce, for garnish (optional)
Crème fraiche or sour cream, for garnish
frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
1 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup mascarpone cheese
1/3 cup crème fraiche
1/4 cup freshly grated
Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Topping
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons goat cheese
METHOD
1
In large metal sieve, blanch one bunch of spinach for about 1 minute
METHOD
in large pot of boiling water. Transfer in sieve to bowl of iced water
and leave for 30 seconds. Remove sieve from water and with the
back of a large metal spoon drain out excess water. Set aside.
Repeat with remaining bunches of spinach.
1
With the shredding blade large side up in your food processor shred
the potatoes and onions and transfer into a large mixing bowl. Toss
them with a squeeze of lemon juice. A handful at a time, squeeze out
as much liquid as possible from the shreds.
2
3
4
5
Place artichokes in bowl of your food processor fitted with the S-
Blade. Process for about 5 to 7 seconds or until very coarsely
chopped. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.
2
3
In another mixing bowl, stir together the flour, milk, egg, baking
powder, and nutmeg. Stir this batter into the potatoes and then stir
in the melted butter.
Add mayonnaise, mascarpone cheese, crème fraiche, Parmesan,
goat cheese, roasted garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Process for
another 5 seconds or until combined.
Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add an even film
of peanut oil about 1/4 inch deep and, when it is hot, form pancakes
about 1 heaping tablespoonful large, spreading out and smoothing
the top surface with the back of the spoon. When the undersides are
golden brown, about 3 minutes, use a metal spatula to flip the
pancakes over and cook until their other sides are browned.
Add blanched spinach and pulse a few times or until well blended.
The dip should still have some texture and not be completely
smooth. Spoon into a shallow ovenproof dish.
In small bowl combine all ingredients for topping and sprinkle over
spinach dip. Bake in a 350 degrees F oven for about 15 to 20
minutes or until heated through and top is golden brown. Serve hot
surrounded by slices of crispy French bread or crackers.

watercress. If serving as an appetizer, also accompany the pancakes
with your choice of caviar or applesauce, along with some crème
fraiche or sour cream.

morsels that look a lot more complicated to make than they really
are. I find them a lot of fun to put together and people are often
amazed that you are able to master an alien cuisine!
4. In a heavy deep saucepan, heat oil to 350 degrees F. and deep fry
spring rolls, 3 or 4 at a time until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain
on paper towels.

Panko-Crusted Scallops with
Cilantro-Mint Vinaigrette
Savory Crepes
Serves: 4-6
Makes 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
For the Cilantro-Mint Vinaigrette see recipe in Sauces & Dressings
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups milk
INGREDIENTS
For the scallops
1 pound fresh sea scallops, cut in half lengthwise if very large
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
2 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup panko
Peanut oil or vegetable oil for deep-frying
Bottled hoisin sauce for serving
METHOD
1
Put the flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted
with the S-Blade and turn the processor on. With the machine
running, add the eggs, 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, and the
milk through the feed tube. Process for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl,
cover with plastic, and allow to sit at room temperature for 1 hour, or
refrigerate overnight.
METHOD
1
In an automatic deep fryer or a deep, heavy frying pan, preheat
several inches of oil to a temperature of 350°F. (If you don't have an
automatic deep fryer, check the temperature by clipping a deep-
frying thermometer to the side of the pan.) Meanwhile, pat the
scallops dry with paper towels and season them with a little salt
and pepper. In a bowl beat together the eggs and milk. Place the
scallops on one plate, the flour on another plate, and the panko
on a third plate.
2
Heat an 8-inch crêpe pan or omelet pan over medium-high heat until
it feels hot when you hold your hand above it. Brush lightly with
some of the remaining melted butter. Ladle in about 3 tablespoons
of batter and tilt or swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly. Cook
until the crêpe's surface is covered with bubbles and the edges can
be easily lifted away from the pan so that you can see if the
underside is golden. When the underside is golden, after about 2
minutes, flip the crepe, using a thin spatula or, very carefully, your
fingertips. Cook the other side for 30 seconds and transfer to a
plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crêpes as you
go along. The recipe yields about fifteen 6-inch crêpes or ten to
twelve 8-inch crêpes.
2
3
Dredge a scallop in the flour, turning it to coat all sides and then
flaking off excess flour. Dip it in the beaten egg, letting the excess
egg drip back into the bowl. Dip the scallop into the panko,
pressing lightly to help the crumbs adhere on all sides. Gently shake
off any excess crumbs. Place the scallop back on its plate and
repeat with the remaining scallops.
3
If you aren't using the crêpes right away, stack them between
pieces of parchment or wax paper, wrap them in foil, and refrigerate
or freeze.
When all the scallops are coated and the oil has reached 350°F,
place about 6 scallops in the oil and fry until golden brown, about 2
minutes; flip them over if necessary. Lift them out with the fryer's
strainer basket, or remove with a wire skimmer if using a frying pan,
and let the excess oil drain off; then transfer to paper towels and
immediately sprinkle lightly with salt. Repeat with the remaining
scallops. Serve hot, with the vinaigrette or hoisin sauce.

Barbecue Chicken Quesadillas
Barbecue Chicken Quesadillas
continued
2
Make the Fire-Roasted Tomato Salsa: Over a hot grill, roast the
tomatoes until blackened all over. Transfer to a bowl and add the
chipotles. Cover and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Add the lime juice,
basil, and garlic and marinate for 10 minutes. Transfer to your food
processor fitted with the S-Blade and pulse until chunky. Transfer to
a nonreactive bowl and add the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper.
Slowly whisk in 1 cup of olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap and reserve
in the refrigerator.
Serves 4 to 6
Mexico's version of the familiar grilled cheese sandwich gains
incredible flexibility from the tortilla that encloses it. For this version, I
marinate chicken breasts with Latin American seasonings, cook them,
and toss the chunks of meat with barbecue sauce before enclosing it
with cheese inside flour tortillas and pan-frying them until crispy and
golden. Tangy Mexican-style sour cream and roasted tomato-and-
chili salsa make flavorful finishing touches. You'll find a similar version
of this great recipe, minus the barbecue sauce, in my cookbook
Live, Love, Eat!
3
To start the Quesadillas: In a mixing bowl, stir together the peanut
oil, ginger, garlic, cilantro, green onion, and red pepper. Add the
chicken breasts, turn to coat them well, cover with plastic wrap, and
marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
INGREDIENTS
4
5
The next day, preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the chicken from
the marinade and season all over with salt and pepper.
Mexican Cream
1 lime, juiced
1 1/2 cups sour cream
Salt
Fire-Roasted Tomato Salsa
5 Roma tomatoes
2 dried chipotle chiles,
reconstituted in warm water to
cover until soft, then drained
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup chopped basil leaves
1/4 cup minced garlic
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
Heat a large ovenproof sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the
pan is hot, add enough peanut oil to coat the bottom. Add the
chicken and sear on both sides until golden, about 3 minutes per
side. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until cooked through, 10
to 15 minutes more. Remove the pan from the oven, leave the chicken
to cool slightly, and then cut it into 1/2-inch dice and put the dice in
a mixing bowl.
Freshly ground black pepper
Quesadillas
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless
chicken breasts
Salt
Pepper
Peanut oil
1 red onion, sliced
1/4 to 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1 cup shredded fontina cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons butter
6
7
Preheat a grill or grill pan. Drizzle the onion slices with oil and place
them on the grill. Cook until the onions are tender and golden
brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill.
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked
black pepper
Add enough of the barbecue sauce to the mixing bowl to coat the
chicken to your taste. Place 4 tortillas on a flat work surface. In a
separate bowl, toss together the fontina and mozzarella cheeses.
Evenly distribute about half of the cheese mixture among the 4
tortillas. Then, evenly spread all of the chicken and the onions on top
of the cheese and top them with the remaining cheese and the 4
remaining tortillas.
1 cup olive oil
8
9
Heat a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 table-
spoon of the butter and cook until it is foamy. Carefully transfer 1
quesadilla to the pan and cook, pressing down with a spatula to seal
the tortillas together as the cheese melts, until golden brown on
both sides, about 3 minutes per side, turning the quesadilla very
carefully. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, adding more butter
to the pan as necessary.
METHOD
1
Make the Mexican Cream: In a nonreactive bowl, stir together all of the
ingredients, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic
wrap and refrigerate until needed.
With a sharp knife, cut each quesadilla into 6 wedges, transferring
them to a serving plate. Top each serving with Mexican Cream and
Salsa, or pass them for guests to add to taste.

Homemade Potato Chips
Potato Pancakes with
Smoked Sturgeon
Makes 12 - 16 servings
Makes 4 servings, 12 to 14 latkes
INGREDIENTS
INGREDIENTS
4 pounds baking potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed clean
Peanut oil for deep frying
Kosher salt
1 pound russet baking potatoes,
1 small onion, peeled
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground
black pepper
Cooking oil, such as canola,
peanut, or safflower
1/2 cup crème fraiche or sour cream
1 teaspoon minced fresh dill
Lemon juice
1/2 pound smoked sturgeon,
separated into large flakes, skin
and bones removed (you may
substitute smoked whitefish, trout,
or smoked salmon)
Seasoning possibilities
Salt mixed with cayenne
Freshly grated Parmesan
Salt mixed with chopped fresh thyme or rosemary
Thinly sliced or slivered truffles
METHOD
METHOD
1
If the potatoes have thick, gnarly skins, as older potatoes do, peel
them. Otherwise, just scrub. Using the adjustable slicing blade set at
2mm in your food processor slice the potatoes crosswise into very
thin slices and put them in a bowl of cold water. Do not use excess
force with the food pusher as this will result in uneven slices. Leave
them to soak for about 10 minutes, then drain and very carefully pat
the slices completely dry with separate layers of paper towels.
1
Using the large holes of reversible shredding disc in your food
processor shred the potatoes. Change to the grating disc and grate
the onion.
2
Line a large bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Transfer the mixture to
the towel-lined bowl, twist the towel around it and squeeze out as
much liquid as you can (alternatively you can pick the mixture up by
handfuls and squeeze dry). Transfer to another bowl. Add the egg,
flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir with a fork until well
blended.
2
3
Put several inches of oil in an automatic deep fryer or a deep, heavy
pan or skillet. Set the deep fryer or bring the oil in the pan to 350°F.
In batches, deep-fry the potato slices, turning them with a wire
strainer if necessary to cook them evenly until they turn light golden
brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Lift out the basket or scoop out the potatoes
with a deep-fry skimmer and spread them onto paper towels to
drain. Sprinkle right away with salt and your choice of seasonings.
Bring the oil back up to 350°F before adding the next batch.
Arrange the chips attractively in one or more napkin-lined baskets
and serve.
3
Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large, heavy skillet or in an electric
fryer set at 350°F until it ripples and feels quite hot when you
hold your hand over it. With a metal tablespoon, carefully place a
spoonful of the mixture into the hot oil. Press down on the mixture
with an offset spatula to form an evenly thick pancake about
3 inches in diameter. Add more spoonfuls, taking care not to
overcrowd the skillet. Cook the pancakes until golden brown, 2 to 3
minutes per side, turning them over carefully with a slotted metal
spatula. Transfer to a tray or platter lined with paper towels to drain.
Continue with the remaining mixture. If not serving right away, allow
to cool completely. When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and heat in the oven until crisp,
about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the crème fraiche or sour
cream and dill. Season to taste with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
To serve, transfer the hot potato pancakes to a platter. Spoon a small
dollop of the crème fraiche mixture onto each pancake and top with
flakes of sturgeon. Serve immediately.

Gouda Cheese Fondue
Ricotta Pancakes
Serves 4
Makes approximately 12 four - inch pancakes
In this version of the classic recipe, Dutch-style Gouda cheese
replaces the traditional Swiss varieties. I like to serve a variety of
items for dipping: bite-sized pieces of vegetables and cooked and
cured meats, along with the usual good-quality crusty bread such as
a French baguette. For more great recipes featuring cheese, see my
books Live, Love, Eat! and Pizza, Pasta, & More!
INGREDIENTS
2 cups ricotta cheese
4 large eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
INGREDIENTS
1 large clove garlic, sliced in half lengthwise
1/2 cup white wine
METHOD
5 ounces fresh Gouda cheese, or mozzarella, shredded
5 ounces aged Gouda cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1
Preheat griddle or large fry pan on medium heat.
2
Fit food processor with the S-Blade. Add ricotta, eggs, butter and
sugar to food processing bowl. Process for 1 minute.
2 tablespoons Kirsch
3
4
5
Add flour, salt, and baking powder. Pulse several times; all you want
to do is to incorporate ingredients. Don’t over mix.
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
1 baguette loaf, cut into 2-inch cubes
Assorted vegetables and cooked meats and salami,
cut into bite-sized pieces
Dab griddle with butter or non-stick spray. Pour approximately 3
tablespoons of batter on griddle and spread it out to form pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, lift pancakes to make sure they are brown
then flip. These pancakes do not emit little bubbles like traditional
pancakes so you need to check for color. These are so light and
delicious yet satisfying. Serve with fresh fruit and dust with
powdered sugar.
METHOD
1
Rub the bottom of a medium saucepan with the sliced garlic. Put the
pan over high heat and immediately add the wine, stirring and
scraping with a wooden spoon to dissolve the garlic residue.
2
Shred the two cheeses using the large side of your shredding disc in
your food processor. In a small bowl, toss together the two cheeses
and the cornstarch. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the
cheese mixture.
Recipe courtesy Debra Murray, Wolfgang Puck HSN Host
Stir continuously until the mixture is melted and smooth. Stir in the
Kirsch and season with black pepper and nutmeg.
3
Serve the fondue immediately, accompanied by the bread,
vegetables, and meats, with long fondue forks for guests to spear
bites of food and dip them into the sauce.

Curried Chicken Satay with
Fresh Mint-Soy Vinaigrette
Chicken Salad with Avocados
and Mint-Soy Vinaigrette
Serves 8-12
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
INGREDIENTS
For the chicken satay:
For the salad:
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
2 whole chicken breasts, bone in, skins removed (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
1 medium onion, quartered
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons peanut oil or vegetable oil
1 romaine heart, or 1 romaine lettuce, outer leaves removed
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
1 large or 2 small Hass avocados
For the mint-soy vinaigrette (see separate recipe in Sauces & Dressings)
METHOD
For the dressing see separate recipe in Sauces & Dressings
1
Soak two dozen 6-inch bamboo or wooden skewers in water for
30 - 60 minutes. With a sharp knife, cut each chicken breast
lengthwise into twelve long, thin strips. Thread 1 strip onto each of
the skewers, weaving the skewer back and forth along the length of
each chicken strip. Arrange them on a large platter or baking tray.
METHOD
1
Poach the chicken breasts. Place in a large, heavy saucepan and
cover by about 1 inch with water. Add the onion, garlic, and bay leaf
and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the salt and
reduce the heat so that the water simmers gently. Cook, partially
covered, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the juice runs clear when the
chicken is pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Remove from the
heat and, if time allows, let the chicken cool in the liquid.
2
3
To prepare the marinade, in a small bowl combine the curry powder,
pepper, salt, and cumin. Spoon the oil over the chicken strips, turning
to coat them evenly, and then evenly sprinkle the dry ingredients
over them on both sides. Cover the platter or tray with plastic wrap
and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour or longer.
2
3
Remove the chicken from the pot (strain the light broth and use for
another purpose). When it is cool enough to handle, either shred the
meat by hand, or pulse in your Food Processor with the S-Blade
attached to the desired consistency. Transfer to a bowl.
Preheat a hinged indoor grill or Panini maker, following the manufac-
turer's instructions, or preheat a broiler, outdoor grill, or stovetop
grill pan. Grill the skewers, in batches if necessary, until cooked
through and nicely browned, about 2 minutes total on a hinged grill
or panini maker, or 2 minutes per side in the broiler, a grill pan, or on
an outdoor grill. If using an indoor grill, take care that the skewers
don't prevent the grill or Panini maker from closing properly.
Wash the lettuce, breaking the larger leaves in half across the
middle. You will line the platter with these larger leaves. Cut the
bottom halves of the leaves and the smaller leaves crosswise into
1/2-inch-thick slices (chiffonade) and toss with the chicken. Add the
celery and toss together.
4
Serve the skewers immediately, passing the vinaigrette for guests to
drizzle over their skewers or to use as a dip.
4
Cut half of the avocado or avocados into dice and add to the
chicken. Cut the remaining avocado into thin slices.
5
6
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture. Toss well.
Recipe courtesy Wolfgang Puck Makes it Easy, Rutledge Hill Press

Line a serving platter or individual plates with the leaves that did not
go into the salad and top with the salad. Fan the remaining avocado
slices out on the side for garnish. Serve cold or at room temperature.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
METHOD
1
Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat oven
to 500 degrees F.
2
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the dough to an 8-inch
round. Place the dough on a pizza peel that has been dusted with
flour or semolina (you can also place on a cookie sheet). Lightly
brush the surface of the dough with the chili oil. Place on the pizza
stone and bake until the bottom begins to turn golden brown, but the
pizza is not cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the
oven and set aside.
Pizzas
3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Place a nonstick 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan
is hot add the olive oil and butter and cook until the butter is melted.
Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are
slightly set, but still fairly undercooked, about 4 minutes. The eggs
will cook further in the oven so it is important not to overcook them.
Remove from the heat and remove from the pan to stop the cooking.
4
5
Spread the eggs on the pizza dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around
the edges. Scatter the mozzarella cheese and Fontina cheese evenly
over the eggs. Return to the oven and cook just until the cheese melts
and is bubbly, about 5 minutes.
Remove the pizza from the oven and transfer to a firm surface.
Arrange the smoked salmon slices over the surface of the pizza,
covering completely. Garnish with the chopped chives and
salmon eggs.

Recipe courtesy Wolfgang Puck Pizza, Pasta, and More! Random House;
1st edition (November 7, 2000)
1/2 cup Caesar Vinaigrette (see separate recipe in Sauces & Dressings)
2 tablespoons Chili Garlic Oil (see separate recipe in Sauces & Dressings)
1/4 cup Oven Dried Tomatoes (see separate recipe in Sauces & Dressings)
2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
2 cups shredded Fontina cheese
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
10 ounces romaine lettuce, cut into chiffonade strips
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 ounce freshly shaved Parmesan
METHOD
1
Several hours ahead or the night before, prepare the Whole Wheat
Pizza Dough.
2
At least 1 1/2 hours before making the pizzas, start to prepare the
Sautéed Spicy Chicken: Arrange the cubed chicken in a shallow
medium bowl and toss with the 1/2 cup olive oil, the lime juice,
jalapeños, garlic, and cilantro. Season with salt, cover with plastic
wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Then, in a skillet or
sauté pan large enough to hold the chicken comfortably in a single
layer, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. With a slotted spoon,
remove the chicken from the marinade. Sauté the chicken just long
enough to brown the pieces on all sides. Do not overcook. Remove
from the skillet with the slotted spoon and set aside.

Pizza dough (see separate recipe in Dough & Crust section)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large artichoke hearts, very thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups fresh porcini, sliced if large
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 slices bacon (about 2 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 small onion, peeled, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons Mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup Farmer's cheese
2 tablespoons chile oil
Freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup grated Italian Fontina
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups grated Mozzarella
6 ounces Pizza Dough (see separate recipe in Dough & Crust section)
1/2 cup grated Mozzarella
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons chopped garlic, blanched
3 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, plus 4 sprigs for garnish
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
METHOD
METHOD
1
Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat the
oven to 500 degrees F.
1
Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces.
2
3
Preheat the oven with a pizza stone to 500 degrees F for 30 minutes.
2
In a medium size sauté pan, add olive oil and heat over medium heat.
When the oil is hot, add the bacon and cook until the bacon is very
crispy and all of the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon with a slotted
spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Remove all but 2 table-
spoons of the bacon fat from the pan and discard. Place the pan over
high heat. Add the onions to the hot bacon fat and cook until the
onions are well browned, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove
to a paper towel lined plate and reserve.
Place a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the olive oil and when it is
hot, sauté the artichoke hearts and mushrooms. Season to taste with
salt and pepper. Pour off any excess oil and let the vegetables cool.
4
Roll or stretch the dough, 1/4 at a time, into 9-inch circles. Place the
dough circles, one at a time, on a lightly floured wooden peel. Brush the
circles to within 1-inch of the edge with chili oil. For each calzone, put
1/4 of both cheeses on half of the dough, still leaving the 1-inch border.
Top with 1/4 of the artichokes and mushrooms, the garlic and the
thyme. Assemble the remaining calzones in the same way.
3
In a small bowl, combine the mascarpone and farmer's cheeses. Season
with nutmeg and black pepper. Reserve.
4
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll the dough as thinly as
possible into a 14 to 15-inch circle. Evenly spread the mascarpone
mixture over the dough. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and Parmesan
cheeses, bacon, thyme, and sautéed onion. Bake until the pizza crust is
nicely browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
5
6
Moisten the edges of the circles with water. Fold the un-topped half of
the dough, trapping as much air inside as possible, over the filling and
press the edges together firmly to seal. With the backside of a fork,
press the edges of the dough to crimp them.
Slide the calzones onto the pizza stone and bake about 12 minutes, or
until the crust is golden brown. Brush the calzones with melted butter
and sprinkle them with Parmesan.
5
Remove pizza from the oven, transfer to a cutting board, cut into slices
and serve immediately.

Basic Pasta Dough
Makes 1 1/2 pounds, serves 6 - 8
INGREDIENTS
3 cups flour
9 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup water (more as needed)
Semolina or all-purpose flour for dusting
METHOD
1
In your Food Processor, fitted with the S-Blade, combine the flour,
egg yolks, salt, olive oil, and 3 tablespoons of the water. Process until
the dough begins to hold together, then stop the Processor and
pinch the dough to test it. If it is too dry, add up to one more table-
spoon of water and process until it forms a moist ball. Turn out onto
a lightly floured smooth work surface and knead by hand until a
smooth ball is formed. Loosely wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest at
room temperature for 20 minutes to 1 hour.
2
3
Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Keep the other pieces covered in
plastic while you roll out one piece at a time, by hand with a rolling
pin or through the rollers of a pasta machine, stretching the dough
to the desired thickness.
Dough and Crust
If using a pasta machine, set the rollers at the widest opening.
Flatten the first piece of dough into a thick strip no wider than the
machine, to enable it to pass through the rollers. If necessary, dust
the pasta very lightly with flour. Run the pasta through the machine.
Fold in thirds, crosswise, and run through the machine again. Repeat
this procedure two more times, until the dough is smooth and
somewhat elastic. Set the machine to the next smaller opening and
run the dough through the rollers. Continue rolling and stretching
the dough, using the smaller opening each time, until the next to the
last or the last opening is reached, dusting lightly with flour only as
necessary. (The strip of dough will be long. If you don’t have enough
space on your worktable, halfway through the rolling process cut the
strip of dough in half and continue to work with each piece
separately, keeping the unused dough covered.)
4
5
Adjust the cutting mechanism to the desired width, cut the noodles,
and allow them to dry before cooking. A convenient way to dry
pasta is to arrange the cut pasta on a pastry tray sprinkled with flour,
preferably semolina flour. As one layer is completed, sprinkle flour
over the noodles, place a piece of parchment paper over them, and
continue layering with noodles and flour. Dry for at least 15 - 20 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.

frozen, then transferred directly form the freezer to hot oven.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups fresh spinach, firmly packed
1 1/2 cups semolina
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
• You can make pizza dough ahead and let it rise in a covered bowl in
the refrigerator. Just punch it down and knead it a few times when
you’re ready to roll it out.
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Extra semolina for dusting
• If you don’t have a pizza wheel for cutting the pizzas, use kitchen
scissors or a serrated knife.
INGREDIENTS
METHOD
1 package active dry or fresh yeast
1 teaspoon honey
1 cup warm water, 105 to 115 degrees F
3 cups all-purpose flour
1
In your food processor fitted with the S-Blade, chop the fresh
spinach. Scrape the bowl well and squeeze the liquid from the
spinach by squeezing it in a coffee filter.
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for brushing
2
3
Wipe processor bowl, again fitted with S-Blade, add semolina and
process for a minute.
Add all the remaining ingredients including strained spinach to bowl.
Process until the dough begins to hold together, stop the machine
and pinch dough to test it. If it feels too dry add a teaspoon of water.
Process until it forms a moist ball.
METHOD
1
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup warm water.
2
In your food processor fitted with the S-Blade, combine the flour
and the salt. Add the oil, the yeast mixture, and the remaining 3/4
cup of water and process until the mixture forms
a ball.
4
5
Turn out dough ball onto a lightly floured surface, and knead by
hand till a smooth ball is formed. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let
it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Cut the dough ball into 4 separate pieces (if using a roller pasta
maker) cut into walnut sized pieces if using extruder. Constantly
keep all dough covered with a damp towel or plastic wrap until
ready to use. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for making desired
pasta shapes.
3
Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand
2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should be smooth and firm.
Cover the dough with a clean, damp towel and let it rise in a cool
spot for about 2 hours. (When ready, the dough will stretch as it is
lightly pulled).
4
Divide the dough into 4 balls, about 6 ounces each. Work each ball
by pulling down the sides and tucking under the bottom of the ball.
Repeat 4 or 5 times. Then on a smooth, unfloured surface, roll the
ball under the palm of your hand until the top of the dough is
smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover the dough with a damp
towel and let rest 1 hour. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in
plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
Basic Cookie Dough
Makes enough for 4 7- to 8-inch pizzas
Makes enough for 4 to 5 dozen cookies, depending on size
Try this robust dough in place of my regular pizza dough. The honey
brings out a wonderful, rich flavor in the crust.
The following recipe yields two separate batches of dough: one a
vanilla dough, and one a chocolate dough.
INGREDIENTS
INGREDIENTS
1 package yeast
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces,
at room temperature
1/4 cup warm water
1 tablespoon honey
3 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup cool water
1 tablespoon olive oil
Pinch salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocoa powder
METHOD
1
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add the honey
and let sit for 5 minutes, until foamy.
METHOD
1
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt;
set aside. Put the butter in a large mixing bowl and, with a rubber
spatula, stir until smooth and softened. Add the sugar and continue
to blend for 2 minutes, until the mixture resembles light yellow-
colored mashed potatoes. Transfer to the bowl of your food
processor fitted with the S-Blade.
2
Put the flour in your food processor fitted with the S-Blade. Mix the 1
cup cool water with the olive oil and salt. With the motor running,
pour the olive oil mixture and the yeast slowly in through the feed
tube. Process until the dough forms a ball that rides around on the
blade.
3
Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and
let rise until double in bulk. Punch down the dough and knead it on
a lightly floured surface for 1 minute. Divide the dough into 4 equal
portions and roll them into tight balls. Place on a tray, cover with
a damp towel, and let rest for several hours or overnight in the
refrigerator before use.
2
With the food processor running, crack the eggs, one at a time, into
the butter mixture and beat until well-blended. Add the vanilla
extract. Add the sifted flour mixture and continue to blend until a
smooth dough forms, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the dough from
the mixer and divide it in half. Place half of the dough back into the
Processor. On low speed, add the cocoa powder and continue to mix
until the cocoa is evenly blended in. Gather each batch of dough into
a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or as
long as overnight.
4
Roll or stretch each ball of dough into a 7- to 8-inch circle. Place the
circles, one at a time, on a wooden peel or on a baking sheet and
build the pizza as desired.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch piece
6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
and frozen for 15 minutes
1 1/2 cups shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/3 to 1/2 cup ice water, or as needed
METHOD
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Adjust the rack to the bottom third of the
oven. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9 x 12-inch baking pan. Cut a
piece of cooking parchment to fit the bottom of the pan and line the
pan with the parchment. Spray the parchment.
METHOD
1
Prepare the pastry dough: Put the flour and salt in the bowl of your
food processor fitted with the S-Blade. Pulse the machine 5 or 6
times to combine them. Add the frozen butter and process for 5
seconds. Add the shredded cheddar and pulse the machine four
times to mix it in.
2
3
4
Put the flour, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and lemon zest in the bowl of
your food processor fitted with the S-Blade. Pulse several times to
combine them.
2
3
In a measuring cup, combine the cider vinegar and 1/3 cup ice water.
With the motor running, pour the vinegar/water mixture through the
feed tube and continue processing until a ball of dough forms. If the
dough doesn't come together, add another tablespoon or two of ice
water.
With the machine running, gradually drop in the pieces of butter
through the feed tube and continue to process until you have a
slightly crumbly dough.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and, with your
fingers, press it into the bottom to form an even layer of crust. Bake
in the lower third of the oven until the crust is light golden in color,
25 to 30 minutes.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface, form it into
an even ball, and cut it into two pieces, one slightly larger than the
other. Pat each piece into a flattened disk, wrap it in plastic wrap,
then chill the disks in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Granny Smith Apple Pie with
Cheddar Cheese Crust
Lemon and Watermelon
Granitas
Makes 8 servings
Makes 8 servings
For the cheddar cheese pastry see recipe under Dough & Crust
INGREDIENTS
For the watermelon granita
2 pounds peeled seedless watermelon
(about half of a round melon),
cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
For the lemonade granita
3 cups water
1 cup sugar
Grated zest of 2 lemons
1 cup fresh lemon juice
INGREDIENTS
For the Granny Smith apple filling:
6 plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
8 medium Granny Smith apples,
peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1/2 cup sugar
4 tablespoons Calvados (apple brandy) or applejack
1 large egg, beaten
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional)
Fresh mint sprigs for garnish (optional)
METHOD
METHOD
1
Make the lemonade granita mixture: In a nonreactive saucepan,
1
Prepare the filling. Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-
high heat and melt 6 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter is
light brown, add the apples and sprinkle with the sugar. Cook, stirring
frequently, until the sugar has turned a golden-brown caramel color,
10 - 15 minutes. The apples should still be firm. Stir in the Calvados
and remove from the heat. Transfer the apple filling to a sheet pan
lined with foil and set aside to cool to room temperature.
stir together the water, sugar, and lemon zest. Bring to a boil over
medium-high heat and continue boiling for 3 minutes. Remove from
the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Set a fine-mesh sieve over a
mixing bowl and pour the mixture through the sieve to strain out any
pulp. Set aside to cool.
2
3
Make the watermelon granita mixture: Working in batches, in your
food processor fitted with the S-Blade; combine the watermelon
chunks, sugar, water, lemon juice, lime juice, and salt. Process until
puréed. Place a fine-mesh sieve over a mixing bowl and pour the
purée through the sieve to remove the pulp from the juice.
2
3
Preheat the oven to 400°. On a lightly floured work surface, use a
floured rolling pin to roll out the smaller disk of chilled dough to an
even circle with a diameter of 11 inches. Gently fold the dough in half
or into quarters and transfer it to a 9” pie pan. Unfold the dough and
gently ease it into the contours of the pan. Roll out the larger disk of
dough to a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
Pour each granita mixture into its own small, shallow, nonreactive
metal baking pan (9-inch round or rectangular cake pans are a good
size). Cover each pan with plastic wrap and freeze until the granita
mixtures begin to set, about 45 minutes. Using a clean fork for each
mixture, scrape the Granitas to break up the ice crystals, and mix
them well. Cover the pans, return them to the freezer, and repeat the
process every 20 minutes, pushing the ice crystals on the outside of
the pan toward the center so that the unfrozen liquid in the center
will go to the edges. Do this until the Granitas are completely frozen
but not a solid block.
Fill the lined pie pan with the cooled apple mixture. Dot the apples
with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Carefully place the larger
disk of pastry over the pie. Tuck the edges of the top pastry under
the rim of the bottom pastry and press down with your fingers to
seal together and decoratively flute the pastry edges all around the
pie's rim. With the tip of a small, sharp knife, cut three slashes about
2 inches long in the center of the top crust.
4
Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the lower third of the
preheated oven for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375° and bake
for 20 minutes more. Remove the pie from the oven, brush its top
with the beaten egg, return to the oven, and bake until golden brown,
about 5 minutes more. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature,
accompanied with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if you wish.
4
To serve, chill large wine glasses or individual glass bowls in the freezer.
Scrape up each granita with a fork once more and scoop the water-
melon granita into each glass or bowl. Top with a scoop of lemon
granita. Serve immediately, garnished with mint sprigs if you like.

Grilled Summer Fruit with Fresh
Raspberry-Grape Sorbet
Zesty Lemon Bars
Makes 4 servings
Makes 2 dozen
INGREDIENTS
For the Lemon Shortbread Crust see recipe under
Dough & Crust section.
For the sorbet
For the fruit
2 cups white grape juice
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
4 cups raspberries, rinsed and
dried on paper towels
2 ripe, sweet peaches, halved & pitted
4 ripe, sweet plums, halved & pitted
2 ripe, sweet nectarines, halved & pitted
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
INGREDIENTS
4 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
Confectioners' sugar for decorating
Pre-baked lemon shortbread crust
METHOD
1
Put the grape juice in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over
medium-high heat. Boil until it reduces to 1 cup, 7 - 10 minutes. Make
a simple syrup by combining the water and sugar in another saucepan
and boiling until the sugar has dissolved. Combine the syrup and
grape juice and chill, either in an ice bath or in the refrigerator.
2
Purée the raspberries in your food processor fitted with the S-Blade.
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a mixing bowl and pour the purée
through the strainer to remove the seeds, pressing down with a
rubber spatula to force all the puree through and scraping any purée
into the bowl from the underside of the sieve. Stir in the chilled
grape juice mixture.
METHOD
1
In the bowl of your food processor fitted with the S-Blade process
the eggs until smooth. Combine the sugar, flour, and salt in a
separate bowl and hand stir until well blended. Add this mixture into
the eggs and pulse until well blended. Stir in the lemon juice, milk,
and lemon zest.
3
If you have an ice cream or sorbet maker, transfer the berry mixture
to the machine and freeze, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Pack it into a freezer container with a lid and freeze until solid. If you
do not have an ice cream or sorbet maker, make a granita. Transfer
the mixture to a shallow baking dish or bowl, cover it with plastic
wrap, and place it in the freezer. Leave the mixture until it begins to
set, about 25 minutes. Using a clean fork for each mixture, scrape
the granita to break up the ice crystals, and mix well. Cover the pan
and return to the freezer, and repeat the process every 20 minutes,
pushing the ice crystals on the outside of the pan toward the center
so that the unfrozen liquid in the center will go to the edges, until
the mixture is completely frozen but not a solid block. About 15
minutes before serving time, remove the container of sorbet from
the freezer to soften slightly for scooping.
2
Pour the topping over the pre-baked crust. Return the pan to the
oven and continue to bake until custard is set, jiggling only slightly
when the pan is moved, about 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the
oven and leave it at room temperature until completely cooled.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at
least 2 hours.
3
Before serving, use a sharp knife to cut into rectangular bars. With a
small spatula, starting at one edge, carefully begin to pry the bars up
and out from the baking pan; they'll become easier to remove as you
have more room to insert the spatula. Arrange the bars on a platter.
Just before serving, dust with confectioners' sugar.

5
Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill or the broiler. Brush the fruit
halves all over with the melted butter and cook them on the grill or
under the broiler until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
Use an ice cream scoop or a large serving spoon to scoop the sorbet
onto the centers of individual serving plates. Arrange the fruit
around the sorbet, garnish with mint sprigs, and serve.
