Not for modern microwaves - S. Kessler -
This book was a great disappointment. First of all, it is written by a British author and calls for many ingredients and has many recipes that are not well suited for the American kitchen. But most important, it is written using 750 watt ovens as the standard. This is such an old standard. I installed a microwave in October and it is 1200 watts. What a difference that makes. I thought the book was recently published, but it turned out that it was really older than I thought, as the paperback edition publishing date Amazon provides is misleading.

What I don't understand is why there are no recent cookbooks for the microwave. Every book I've perused seems to be more than 10 years old. You'd think someone would write an up-to-date book as a comprehensive guide to the many things you can cook in a microwave (believe me, I've experimented since I got mine). But that doesn't seem to be the case.
