Good book, but needs to be updated Nov 09, 1999 This book is a wealth of information, but it desperately needs an update. It was published nearly 15 years ago, when the most powerful microwave was 700 watts. Now with 1000, 1100, and even 1200 watt microwaves being the norm, her recipes all need to be adjusted and updated. Also, there are a whole slew of new utensils - like browning dishes - that could be addressed.

A Must-Have Book Aug 16, 2006

I've made many a dish using Easy Livin'Microwave Cooking and it is a real "gem". I usually prepare meals for two, but many times make the full 4 serving recipe. My wife and I are both trying to loose weight and the ability to make great-tasting, quick meals has been a real bonus. I hasten to add, we are loosing that weight! This book is a must for any home that has a microwave oven!

Fancy vs. Fundamental Mar 03, 2011
By chumly As a new microwave user--and enthusiastic one, I bought this book hoping to obtain useful basic information about cooking basics: how to cook bacon, usual time for soups, problems and cautions re: warming up leftovers, and so on. When I started to peruse the book I was confronted with fancy recipes and "special" tips for food presentation that were focused on a different mode of "cuisine" than what would be ;useful for me. But I respect that many readers would be pleased with the book's information and suggestions.
