My daughter loves waffles so I just had to give this one a try. I couldn’t believe the ideas they had for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert all made with waffles. It totally brings a whole new meaning to waffles LOL. I was very impressed with the cookbook but I just wish the lunch and dinner would have had more kid friendly recipes.
Very simple recipes all you have to do is put your bread to the side and whip a batch up waffle mixture for breakfast save your left over mix and use it at dinner ...more

As a lover of all breakfast foods, the title Waffles: Sweet and Savory Recipes for Every Meal caught my eye and rumbled my tummy. As I browsed through the cookbook’s delicious-sounding recipes and drool-inducing photographs, I learned there are many variations on the standard waffle I have always enjoyed.

As I browsed through the cookbook’s delicious-sounding recipes and drool-inducing photographs, I learned there are many variations on the standard waffle I have always enjoyed. The cookbook is divided up into five sections: All About Waffles, Breakfast and Brunch, Lunch and Dinner, Dessert, and Basic Recipes. In “All About Waffles,” the reader is given in-depth information on ingredients, equipment, tips and tricks, and even some waffle trivia. It is in this section that I learned how to properly prepare waffle batter to get the tastiest result, as well as how to reheat old waffles from the refrigerator (which comes in handy when you’ve made a large batch). Next come the recipes. “Breakfast and Brunch” waffles include Sour Cream-Orange, Lemon-Poppy Seed, and Yogurt with Honey Cream. The Lunch and Dinner Waffles reach to the savory side, with combinations like Zucchini-Asiago or Multigrain with Avocado and Tomato-Almond Pesto. The dessert section features such creations as S’mores, Coconut-Rice Waffles with Mangoes and Lime Cream, and Pineapple Waffles with Raw Sugar. Finally, the “Basic Recipes” section includes just what it states with nothing fancy required.

With so many options to choose from, I decided to try the recipe for Vanilla Bean Belgian Waffles with Whipped Cream and Strawberries. The directions were easy to follow and I only had to look up one word (macerate: it means “steep”). The ingredients were mostly ones I already had around the house, except for vanilla beans, which I had to get at a whole foods store. This particular recipe took a while to prepare because it required letting ingredients macerate (see, there’s my new word) for 30-60 minutes before cooking, so I would not recommend it for quick morning preparation. However, the waffles had a nice, vanilla taste that I enjoyed. I look forward to trying other recipes in the book as I explore the wonderful world of waffles. Though the savory waffles don’t appeal to me (I am a sweets kind of person and like my waffles that way), others may find the recipes give them some good ideas for enjoying waffles in a different style. I recommend this book for anyone who loves waffles and wants to get creative with preparing them.

Technical Note: I read this book as an electronic edition on a Nook Simple Touch e-reader, but the ingredients lists did not format correctly. Numbers for measurements appeared on different lines than the items being measured, making it impossible to correctly prepare the recipe from the e-reader screen. The photos were also in black and white on my screen, making them less attractive. However, the electronic edition appeared fine on my computer screen with no layout problems and in full-color. I used the Adobe Digital Editions program to read the file, but was unable to print pages, so I had to retype the recipe to prevent myself from running back and forth from the computer to the kitchen while cooking.

Waffles: Fun Recipes for Every Meal / 978-1616282059

We love waffles in our family, but I'd not really considered the level of variation that they can apparently lend themselves to: this ~100 page book has quite remedied that misconception. There are recipe variations here for American waffles, Belgian waffles, and the delightful-and-hitherto-unknown-to-me spherical "egg" waffles popular in Hong Kong. Almost all the recipes here are usable with either of the three forms, though a few note when Am ...more

Waffles are a particular favourite in many American homes yet for many people, both natives and tourists alike, the selection of waffles, toppings and fillings can be quite boring.

Maybe this book will help change that perception and broaden the reader's horizons. In many ways, waffles are like breads insofar that they can vary immensely in how they look and, of course, how they taste and you are not restricted to what you put on them.

Waffles need not, either, be limited to breakfast times. Savou Waffles are a particular favourite in many American homes yet for many people, both natives and tourists alike, the selection of waffles, toppings and fillings can be quite boring.

Maybe this book will help change that perception and broaden the reader's horizons. In many ways, waffles are like breads insofar that they can vary immensely in how they look and, of course, how they taste and you are not restricted to what you put on them.

Waffles need not, either, be limited to breakfast times. Savoury waffles can be used as for a dinner or appetiser, sweet waffles can make a dessert. You could even, if so desired, just dunk a waffle in a cup of coffee... but why you would want to do that...

All the book's recipes are based around several easy batters and the book even gives some advice to how these batters can be further customised. Who would have thought that you could add mashed potatoes into a batter mix! It is not something you might have normally done by in error and then enjoyed the mistake.

A number of primers are provided covering typical ingredients, waffle-making equipment, the art of waffle making and an interesting trivia section are provided as a prelude to the recipes themselves. Split simply into breakfast and brunch, lunch and dinner and dessert the recipes feature their own mini index.

For such a relatively small book, there are many recipes to keep you engaged and to get you thinking about experimentation in the future. Each recipe is well laid out, showing the ingredients list and detailed cooking instructions. A number of full-colour images give some examples of the tasty finished articles.

It is clear that the author has a very good imagination in order to make the waffle so versatile and feature in so many diverse recipes. It has not been a case of take a waffle and replace it where bread would otherwise feature.

You will probably not begin a waffle-rich diet on account of this book but should you enjoy waffles and enjoy trying something new, there will be a lot of things in this book to help you make your mealtimes a little different, in a positive way.

I'm a huge waffle fan. There's just something about those pockets that hold your syrup perfectly that I just love. I would even make brownies in my waffle maker. So when I saw this book was available on NetGalley for review I was quick to jump on it. I mean, I hadn't really tried a lot of waffle combinations and I was really looking forward to trying a bunch of new recipes.

Unfortunetly this book didn't have the crazy combinations that I was hoping for. For instance the Smore's recipe was just a ...more

How can you resist a book about waffles? Every time I thought of this book, I had Donkey in my head going on about waffles.

The other thought I had was “how cool is this going to be?”, not only for me but for my son who is the waffle king. That boy has two waffle irons because he asks for them for gifts.

The cookbook is awesome. There are waffle ideas in there that I hadn’t thought of. We’ve made waffle sandwiches in the past but we like peanut butter and nutella or peanut butter and jelly. I nev ...more

In pursuit of the perfect waffle, one must read more than one book. Is the "perfect" waffle the one that is so light that it floats off the grill as soon as the lid is opened or the one that tastes so good that it is a shame to cover it with syrup, fruit or whipped cream? In order to get the most out of a waffle maker, one ought learn to make savoury as well as sweet, corn-based as well as wheat-based, and waffles for dessert and supper entrees as well as for breakfast.

One look at the cover and I knew that I was going to love this book. After all who doesn't love waffles? I was really surprised to see so many waffle recipes for lunch, dinner and deserts. This book really made me want to find the waffle iron I have to start trying the recipes out. The pictures in the book also add to the enjoyment of this cook book. There is plenty of information about what the key ingredients to waffles are, you basically need leaveners and flours or grains to make the perfect ...more

I am a sucker for waffles - having visited my family in Belgium when they lived there - but I haven't found a waffle cookbook that has recipes in it that I actually want to try. It's the same old stuff. This cookbook is different! Along with the regular breakfast recipes, it has savory and dessert recipes as well. I am actually excited to try the sourdough BLT waffles!

I thought this recipe book was fun and quirky and really had some unusual waffle recipes. I particularly liked the dessert waffles the best and will be trying one or two of them for my food blog. I was disappointed with the breakfast/lunch section simply because I would like to have seen something a bit more for weeknight meals. The recipes given were pretty unusual and I didn't see the better chunk of them as being "kid friendly" with some of the ingredients.

I would give it a solid 4.5 stars. H ...more

This is a fun cookbook full of waffles recipes of all kinds; sweet, savory, thin and thick. I found the instructions to be detailed and easy to follow; simple recipes and challenging ones. The variety has me wanting to make waffles for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert for the next week.
