Who doesn't love a good sandwich?  One filled with all sorts of yummy ingredients?  And when it's gently squished and toasted in a panini machine?  Mmmmmmmm.  You're not limited by these recipes as your imagination and creative culinary moments will keep you grilling forever.  Not only are you able to invent delectable panini treats, you aren't restricted to using bread — a mushroom or eggplant slice can be the bread, or even any other dough-based item like cake, waffle, tortilla, muffin or a roll.  Author Melanie Barnard offers these categories in her book: Farmers' Market Panini; Poultry Panini; Seafood Panini; Meaty Panini, and Sweet Panini.  Like most foods from somewhere else (panini originated in Italy), they get the local treatment and become the next best thing!  So, recipes that made my mouth water are: Greek Salad; Mushroom, Spinach & Fontina; Tuna Niçoise; Italian-Style Cheesesteak, and Chocolate with Raspberries & Ricotta.  If you're giving a panini grill as a gift, and if you can afford to, add this book as part of your gift.  The recipient will be so inspired.
Beautifully illustrated.  No nutritional guides.
Conclusion - Scrumptuously tempting.
