Seventy per cent of households in Britain own a microwave cooker and yet only 40 per cent use it for real cooking. It is working from this premise that this book attempts to save the microwave from use simply as a household reheater. It offers culinary ideas and new angles on traditional dishes to suit all tastes and occasions. The recipes range from real onion soup to Tequila-soused goujons with advocado salsa. A concise introductory section answers many basic questions and gives advice about microwave cookery.
