Product Description
Deep fat frying has exploded onto the scene as a popular way to prepare food, and Rick Browne, an expert in the technique, is ready to show America how it's done. Through years of travel to barbecue and food festivals throughout the US, he has gathered recipes for delicious foods prepared in the fryer, along with the most crucial tips for the best, safest results. Not only does Browne tell the reader how to prepare the well-loved deep fried turkey (touted by Martha Stewart and Bubba alike!), but he also shares recipes for delicious desserts, unique appetizers, fabulous entrees, and tasty breads. Browne will debunk some of the myths of deep fat frying, including the idea that frying is always unhealthy and that the technique is dangerous or difficult. By sealing in the meat's juices and sealing out the fat, deep frying gives starred chefs and complete novices alike an easy taste treat. Some fabulous recipes include: - Peanut-Cornmeal Fried Catfish
- Navajo Fry Bread
- The Real Fried Green Tomatoes
- Zeppoles
- Black Forest Apple Fritters
- Pitchfork Steaks
- and many more!
With Browne's witty style spread throughout these fabulous recipes and an authentic look at the phenomenon and the food through a 16-page color insert, The Frequent Fryers Cookbook is a true slice of Americana.

Review #1: Deep fryer heaven
2008-08-29 
This book is a hoot. We purchased it particularly for the deep fried turkey recipe, but there's lots more - all very entertaining, and terrific ideas both for theme dinners and the "what should I bring" quandry - trust me, you'll never duplicate what anyone else brings to the table!
Review #2: Great book! Great Price!!

My husband loves this book. There are recipes to fry anything you can think of -- candy bars, twinkies. Then there are the old stand-bys: churros, fried ice cream. He took it to work, and all the guys loved flipping through it.
Review #3: Awsome
2006-07-21
There are some awsome recipes in here, including one for believe it or not, fried oreo cookies. There are useful frying tips too which I won't give away so as not to spoil the book.
I almost gave it four stars for not having any nutritional information on the recipes, but it's obvioulsy not a sin not to include it, I hope he does in a second edition however.
Review #4: Great Fry Book!!!
2005-05-25
Like the title indicates, it has recipes for most anything you can think of frying. It also provides good information on the basics of safe frying and oil selection. I've found the general cooking times it suggests quite helpful for experimenting outside of recipes. The only problem I have is the unique names for common dishes makes finding the recipes a little challenging, but is not a big deal.
Review #5: I admit it... I'm a fry hound...
2004-01-05 
My husband got me this cookbook as a holiday gift to complement the fryer he got me last year. We've been successfully enjoying the fryer, so far, but this book takes it to another level.I've only made one recipe (Fry-Grilled Pork), but that one was a HUGE hit. We had friends over; one ONLY eats pasta with red sauce; she not only ate the pork, but loved it. I've read through the book and look forward to making more of Rick's recipes. I'm hungry now! |
