by Marcia Cone and Thelma Snyder
More than half the households in America have a microwave oven, but most are used merely to warm up leftovers. Now here is a book that actually encourages cooking from scratch. The authors, ex-consultants to the microwave industry, are deliciously thorough. There are more than 800 fast fresh food recipes; particularly strong are the fish, chicken, vegetable and dessert chapters. Cone and Snyder, bless 'em, include a unique way to pop corn.
