Delicious

The recipes are very good and simple to make. Glad I found this book.

Waffles, From Morning to Midnight

Looks like a good source for anytime waffles~~lots of creative ways to make savory and sweet waffles!

This book is great

It has a wide variety of waffles, including savory dinner waffles (clam hash waffles? Waffled mashed potatoes?), great brunch waffles (PB & J? Lox waffles? Club sandwich waffles?), snack waffles (guac and waffle chips), and, of course, a heck of a lot of breakfast and dessert waffles. More than you can shake a stick at, more variety than you ever *dreamed* of, and they taste good. They *do* use quite a bit of baking powder. Oh well.

Good book, but you can use less baking powder in the recipes

I enjoy the creative waffles that are in this book, especially the Apple-Gruyere waffles and the Polenta waffles. However, I have a hint for you: you can use no baking powder and just double the baking soda and that works fine for lift. I read in "The Best Recipe" that double-acting baking powder doesn't really work in waffles, because there isn't enough time in the short baking cycle for it to really get bubbling, and thus they use only baking soda in their recipes. I thought that Greenspan seemed to use an awful lot of baking powder in her recipes (one tablespoon? I don't even use that in regular baking!), so I modified it to use just a bit more baking soda and no baking powder in the Apple-Gruyere waffles, and it worked fine!

Clever uses for a waffle iron

The author has gone to great lengths to make up waffle-able recipies. I really enjoy the carrot-raisin and the oatmeal banana waffles. They freeze wonderfully! Give a copy of this book with a waffle iron to newlyweds!
