Walnut dip with no walnuts?
I returned this book. Recipes are obviously missing ingredients. Note, for instance, the "Red Pepper and Walnut Dip" on p. 83 that does not list walnuts in the ingredients list--just wholewheat bread (preferably homemade!). Now, I like bread too (particularly homemade), but it really is not the same thing as walnuts. At least have the decency to change the name if you are going nut-free.
Also, many of the recipes are not so much blender recipes. They appear to be regular recipes that have been adapted so that you can blow the dust off that expensive vitamix and use it for one little part of the preparation process. For instance, the cornbread recipe just has you mix the wet ingredients in the blender. How exactly is that better than stirring? I am not sure that it will even be faster. And it leads to more clean up since a bowl and spoon is used in the next stage of the recipe anyway.
I like my vitamix, but this book does not really help me.
