You might think that miracles are reserved for events whose
mechanics pass humankind’s comprehension and the laws of nature: you’d be
wrong. Miracles can be found anywhere these days. Take, for example, the
blender. Yes, that thing you make margaritas in.
In 1967, the blender was a miraculous invention — especially
for those unfortunate people who have lost their teeth, and require foods that
can be gummed and slurped. Prior to the invention of the blender, the toothless
simply sucked on bits of solid food trying to extract whatever nutrients they
could until they withered away.
The Miracle Blender
Cookbook: The Fine Art of Modern Blending seeks to right the oversight of
the Almighty by pulverizing the living daylights out of almost anything you
feed into it. In it you can find many useful recipes for things that never
would have been possible to concoct before: instant nonfat dry milk, for
example.
And how would the Lemon Salad Dressing have been made
without a blender? The Steak Sauce? You might think that is cream in the
parfait, but you’d be wrong again. It’s whipped nonfat dry milk — clearly a
favorite of the authors.
