Journalist and waffleizer.com creator Shumski, who owns no fewer than six waffle irons, challenges readers to test the limits of a typically single-use appliance by using it to fry eggs, grill sandwiches, and "waffle" foods such as ravioli, falafel, and apple pie. In his debut cookbook, clear instructions make it easy to adapt recipes for Belgian, standard, or novelty waffle irons (with or without temperature controls), and an appendix offers tips on how to develop and name new creations. Whether curious, rebellious, or short on cooking equipment, readers who try recipes such as waffled chicken fingers and red velvet waffle ice cream sandwiches will delight in discovering whether or not they will waffle as promised.
VERDICT Shumski's unconventional cooking method isn't gourmet, but it's a lot of fun and very useful for readers with limited space for new appliances.
