The author's intent with this book is to bring to the cook a way to prepare that special Mexican dish in only one-third the time it would traditionally take, thus saving time, energy & effort without sacrificing nutrition, appearance or flavorr. These Mexican recipes, are written specifically for microwave cooking.
Bought this while living in Phoenix. It's quick, easy, and has explanations even a gringo can understand and fix. I have had this recipe book for 15 years and am looking for copies for gifts. Just tonight I used it to find a quickie recipe for taco seasoning because I didn't have a store bought packet of seasoning. The family didn't know the difference. Salsa, Fideo, sauces. desserts-all quick and all easy! Wish she'd write another one!!

This book adds a new dimension to the use of the microwave oven. No more is the microwave limited to re-heating, defrosting, or "cooking" those pre-package plasticine food products from your grocer's freezer. I haved used only a subset of the techniques presented and have been completely satisified. Even though the book is targeted toward Mexican food, the concepts only require a little imagination, as well as trial-and-error, to utilize these techniques in other dishes. Because of the abundance of the microwave oven in American households (and the lack of knowledge about what to do with them), I feel this book is an invaluable resource for the serious home cook.
