Product DescriptionWhy bust the budget on pricey take-out during the week, when you can whip up fast, healthy meals at home? Make-A-Mix is perfect for working parents, two-career couples, and over-committed retirees.
Make-A-Mix is really two cookbooks in one. The cookbook begins with 67 make-ahead shortcut mixes for everything from all-purpose cake mix to meatball mix. These can be made on a weekend—or whenever there’s free time—and used to speed food preparation on busy days.
The mixes are a key ingredient in one or more of the 306 recipes that follow. The kitchen-tested recipes run the gamut from breakfast dishes to after-dinner treats. They include hearty dinner entrees, like enchilada casserole, onion pot roast, and shrimp & vegetable stir-fry; international fare like green chili burritos and quick chow mein; soups and other appetizers, like New England clam chowder, and even freezer treats like fruit slush.
With the Make-A-Mix method, home cooks can control the amount of sugar, salt, and preservatives in a recipe, and save money on store-bought mixes. This cookbook is the updated and expanded version of Make-A-Mix that sold over a million copies.
What Others Say
I like knowing what's in my mixes
I just got Make-A-Mix from the library and will be buying it soon. I would like to use liquid milk when I'm making the recipe instead of putting dry milk in the mix. Has anyone figured out how to substitute when you do this?
Wondurful Recipes, Wonderful Results
I recieved this cookbook for Christmas and I have made a few recipes out of it so far. I taught some girls from my church how to make cookies, basing the night around a freeze, slice and bake recipe in Make-A-Mix. The cookies were awesome, and it is so convenient to have a roll of cookie dough waiting in the fridge. When i want a cookie, i can make A cookie, instead of an entire batch and then binge eating. I have also made the basic muffin mix and it is wonderful as well. I look forward to making more of the recipes!
A Classic
I got my mothers old book that she used as I was growing up. The book was used so much that she had it in a three ringed binder. The pages were old and tatered. I bought Make-A-Mix to replace the old one. I plan on cutting out the binding, laminating the pages and also placing it in a three ringed binder. I love using my make a mix recipes. It makes cooking and baking a snap.

This is an awesome book. I would prefer to make things from scratch and Make-A-Mix is perfect for that. I love it, and everyone I know who has Make-A-Mix feels the same way I do. Buy it, you'll love it!
Recipe for success
This is the second copy of Make-A-Mix that I've had. I was given the original back in the 80's by an American friend. When I took some mixes on a house boat holiday with friends recently they were fascinated and asked me to try and get a copy for them. That's when I found the new edition, and its so much better than the original with many more ideas and reduced fat versions. I use it even more now.
