Originally an Italian dish of grilled bread filled with meats and cheeses, panini have evolved in recent years to include everything from fresh produce, sea-fresh fish and shellfish, lean poultry, and savory spreads. But you can make much more than just sandwiches with a panini press. Whether you are looking for a creative lunch, a casual supper, or a unique dessert, the perfect combination is sure to be found in the pages of Panini. Try classics such as the Three Cheese & Tomato Melt or All-American Roast Beef; regional favorites including a Traditional Cubano or Shrimp Po'Boy; or fresh ideas like Rustic Turkey with Brie & Apples or Grilled Pineapples on Coconut Pound Cake. With a handful of companion recipes and informative tips for grilling each panino, all you need to do is assemble, grill, and enjoy!
A beginner's guide to crafting delicious paninis. While I wouldn't make every recipe in this book (not so sure about some of the recipes in the seafood section...), I would try most of them at least once. It gave me some great ideas for my first few attempts at homemade paninis.
