The fresh, robust flavors of Italian grilled sandwiches.
A panini is an Italian-inspired pressed sandwich enjoyed throughout Italy and, increasingly, in North American cafés, restaurants and kitchens. Italians regard panini as fast food thanks to its easy preparation, which also accounts for its success in North America. Sales of panini makers have skyrocketed, with small appliance manufacturers releasing new models each year.
Tiffany Collins provides great recipes that replicate the bistro experience and maximize the use of a home panini maker. Among the recipes for this vibrant, flavorful food are:
- Salami, prosciutto, mozzarella panini with roasted red peppers; Philly cheesesteak panini
- Bacon, spinach and hard-boiled egg panini; smoked salmon, red onion, cream cheese and caper panini
- Sweet Italian sausage, provolone and tomato sauce panini; hummus, red onion and Swiss cheese panini
- Pulled pork panini; Tuscan tuna and white bean panini; shrimp club panini
- Cuban panini; smores panini; sliced beef, caramelized onions and gorgonzola panini
- Smoked turkey, brie and Granny Smith apple panini; south of the border turkey panini with perfect guacamole.
This Italian tradition can now be experienced at home and enjoyed by the whole family.

Amazing
I didn't even know what a panini was until I was introduced to Tiffany's book 200 Panini Recipes. Tiffany is a really great author and is very much a health fitness promoter as you'll see in her book.

Recipes for everyone!
I bought several copies of this cookbook to give as Christmas presents to friends and family. My sister sticks to a strict vegetarian diet, and I read through the vegetarian section to see what was offered specifically for her. I was amazed! The vegetarian recipes are abundant and every one sounds delicious! Each recipe is written almost like a little story and before I knew it, I was well into the book and reading it like a novel. I didn't think anyone could come up with 200 panini recipes -- Tiffany Collins not only came up with a splendid variety of ingredients to put together in a panini, but she also included hundreds of great tips. With the selections she's provided, I could be eating a panini every day for months and the variety would make it seem like I was eating a different gourmet meal each time. What a great way for busy families to prepare and serve quick and easy nutritious meals!
