I have a kitchenaid stand mixer, however I do not have any extra attachments. Kitchenaid mixers come with three standard mixing attachments: flat beater, dough hook, and wisk. I don't really consider them attachments, they are just the mixers that come with it. There are several purchase-seperately attachments available, such as, slicers, several pasta maker sets, ice cream maker, sausage stuffer, etc. This recipe book has tons of recipes using those attachments. If you have a lot of the after-market accesories and are looking for instructions and recipes for their use, this book is for you. If you intend on purchasing the attachments in the future, this is a good way to see what is involved in creating your own pastas, sausages, and using the slicer. It seems like so much work you might change your mind. However, if you have yet to indulge the several hundreds of dollars necessary to purchase all of those attachments (for your $250+ machine), there are few recipes that you are equipped for.

Disappointed very much. This is not a book for a mixer, it is a book for a mixer with all the attachments. You don't have attachment you have to figure out what to do or skip it all together. There are recipes that do not need a mixer either just your old small appliance if you have it.

Got the stars from just the bread section. It uses what my mixer came with and isn't a fancy "haute cuisine" style.

I recommend this book to everyone that gets a KitchenAid stand mixer. Even though I don't have all of the available attachments referenced in the many recipes this book offers, it has helped me see my mixer as a multifunction kitchen appliance. It's not just a mixer to use for the occasional batch of cookies. It's helped me to really think of how I can prepare fresh meals with less hassle.
