Editorial Reviews:

Learn to use your microwave oven to do everything you hoped it could and more with breakthrough techniques and recipes that will change the way you cook forever.

First published in 1987, Barbara Kafka's Microwave Gourmet redefined the way people thought about the microwave oven. Microwave Gourmet is the only book that clarifies which dishes are at their best when made in the microwave, which are the worst, and why.

There are over six hundred delicious recipes for everything you can conceivably want classics like Filet of Sole with Almonds and Turkey with Cranberry Sauce and Saffron Risotto, plus old-fashioned favorites such as Baked Macaroni and Cheese and an American Chocolate Layer Cake that cook up in five to ten minutes. Microwave Gourmet lets you eat good, homemade food in no time at all.

Microwave Gourmet is an indispensable reference and a ground-breaking book that will change your mind about using the microwave forever.

Summary: Microwave Gourmet??
Comment: It's true though. You can use the words "microwave" and "gourmet" for this book. It's a wonder! I have been using it for years and purchased another copy for my daughter. I am an excellent cook. I cut my teeth on Julia Child's books--ALL of them. So I know what I'm talking about when I say this book nails it with its recommendations on what really works in the microwave; i.e., poaching fish or chicken breasts, making steamed puddings, delicate sauces. It's a staple reference book in my kitchen.

Summary: Not my thing
Comment: I gave this three stars because for those with more gourmet tastes, this book would probably be a great addition to their cookbook library. I personally however didn't care for this book much at all. There's a few recipes I'll try and I made note of a few suggested cooking times from the dictionary section of the book, but I'm glad I checked this out from the library rather than spend money on it. I would have been greatly disappointed with the purchase.

Summary: The first cookbook I turn to
Comment: When I want to make a new dish, the first cookbook I open is Microwave Gourmet in case Kafka has a recipe, a technique or interesting notes about the ingredients. Because of Kafka's book, I use the microwave for so many dishes that when I remodel my kitchen, I'm going to make room for two microwaves.

Buy this book. It's a great addition to any cook's library. Kafka's recipe for risotto alone is worth the price.

Summary: Easy cooking for the microwave
Comment: This book has an amazing collection of recipes; you can literally cook a whole meal just from the microwave! From risotto to chicken to fish to chocolate truffles (a personal favorite), this book has everything you need to know about making meals in the microwave or simply using the microwave along with your oven to cut your cooking time. With easy to follow recipes, this book is a must buy - especially for college students.
