Make-A-Mix: Use 68 Easy Mixes to Create Over 245 Delicious Recipes

This updated and expanded edition of the cookbook classic has sold over a million copies. It contains more than sixty easy-to-make mixes that can be used to create over 300 recipes. Make-A-Mix functions as two cookbooks in one. The first section provides sixty-seven make-ahead shortcut mixes for ingredients ranging from all-purpose cake mix to meatball mix. These mixes can be prepared during free time and then used to speed up food preparation on busy days. Each mix serves as a key ingredient in one or more of the 306 kitchen-tested recipes that follow. The recipes span breakfast dishes, dinner entrees such as enchilada casserole and shrimp & vegetable stir-fry, international dishes like green chili burritos and quick chow mein, soups and appetizers including New England clam chowder, and freezer treats like fruit slush. Using the Make-A-Mix method allows home cooks to control the amount of sugar, salt, and preservatives in their recipes while saving money compared to store-bought mixes.
