Pure Deliciousness!

The cover of this book is pure deliciousness and it hooked me on the book! The recipes were inspiring but approachable which made me feel as though I could make them and be successful. The recipe instructions were easy to follow and well-defined. But, I felt there should have been more pictures. Still, within three days of getting an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review, I was inspired to make my own smash burgers…and they were good!

Who does not love a good smashed burger with those delicious crispy edges. I love them and wished that I could make them at home too. This cookbook, teaches you how to smash burgers at home. It includes four different chapters with easy to follow instructions. It is also a fun design.

As I mentioned, the recipe instructions are easy to follow. The recipes include tips. They also include fun descriptions for each burger, which is nice but I would have preferred pictures. When I am looking at a cookbook for recipes, I like to look at the pictures first and then if it looks good then I like to read the recipe. This book had some pictures, but not a lot. Another thing I wished that it had was nutrition. Burgers can vary wildly depending on the toppings, so it would be nice to have some nutrition to review.

A wonderful book is full of easy recipes to follow and pictures to go along with most of the creations. I really did not find anything to dislike about this book at least for me. Everything was done step by step and really straightforward forward and even some of the sauces that they used were easy to make as well. A very good book for grilling smashed or if you have a panini and also breakfast sandwiches as well.

I enjoyed flipping through this one in ebook so much that I decided to purchase a print copy for my shelves. We have burgers every week at our house, and I loved the variety of recipes in this one!

Recipes look delicious and I love the attention to detail alongside the pictures. I do appreciate that it is not only the conventional burger but different variations

I received an ebook copy from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

Smashed is a cookbook you probably didn’t know you needed! I mean, how hard is it to cook a hamburger?

But really, this book is super thorough- there are so many interesting combinations of toppings, buns, sauces, and other cooking techniques that it’s definitely worth checking out. I love the idea of the Molly smash burger (made with brown sugar), and the breakfast smash! There are also panini, burritos, wraps, and other sandwiches that will get your mouth watering, with lots of interesting sauce and seasoning ideas to up your grilling game. Definitely recommend it if you want to experiment with burgers and grilling!

It was the cover that got me, but holy hamburgers (and any other sandwich you can think of)! These recipes are easy and the the pictures are mouth watering! If you like or want to try smash burgers, get this book. If you like easy, tasty recipes that include breakfast, lunch and dinner...get this book! Ever thought about making a poutine smash burger, it's in there, too. The best thing is that you probably have most, if not all, the ingredients already. This is a great book -get it.

Enjoyed seeing variations on the smash burger. Beautiful pictures. Recopies and tips are extremely repetitive. Many recopies have one to do changes - really variations.

Smashed is a cookbook with many different recipes for super thin burgers or sandwiches. The authors even included some breakfast recipes! Dessert was the only thing missing There are tons of amazing photos included. I appreciated that the weight measurements are in metric along with imperial.

I plan to make at least a few of these recipes, and they sound like they could easily become favorites. The three I’m most excited to try are the taco smashed burger, the ultimate grilled cheese pressed sandwich, and the pressed breakfast burrito. They are not the only ones that made my stomach growl, but those three made it growl loudest!

This is a great cookbook with a wide variety of burger recipes! The recipes were clear and easy to follow, and the design of the cookbook was nice. I was pleasantly surprised to see recipes for wraps, paninis and even burritos. I know I’ll be trying the Surf N Turf burger very soon!

There is a Surf 'n' Turf Smash burger in this collection. Incredible! The options are endless to make magic with your smash burgers in this recipe book. There is also a section for chicken burgers and other options of paninis, wraps and sandwiches. The recipes are fun and inventive!

All of this. All the times. Our grilling game just stepped up about 100 notches. I loved looking through the ideas in this cookbook.

I thought this was such a great cookbook. I am always wanting new ways to do burgers and sandwiches. I like how they have recipes for outdoor griddle, grill and the skillet. Not everyone has a grill and only can use their stove and it is nice to see that. I like how there are recipes. for not only the burgers, but sandwiches. And that there are recipes for any time of day. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves burgers and sandwiches.

I was excited for this book but in the end a bit disappointed. I was expecting more exciting or creative recipes. It seemed to be the same basics with the same toppings. Perhaps this was geared toward newer cooks, but then it lacked the basics of cooking. I am not quite sure what would be the target audience.

I just reviewed Smashed by Adam Walton; Brett Walton. #Smashed #NetGalley
[NetGalley URL] There are so many yummy burger recipes in this book. Not only beef burgers, but chicken burgers and wraps. There are also a lot of sauces to use on your burgers which takes the flavors to another level.
