This question is for those who do Microwave Cooking. My mother is "old school" and has always used a conventional oven. (I don't begrudge her). Recently she bought a trailer that came with a brand-new microwave oven. Now, she wants to do more cooking with it. You know how hard Moms are to shop for at Christmas (because they have everything already) so I thought I would add this to some other things I'm getting her. (She does not use the internet so it has to be a real book)!
Can you please recommend me the title, author and a brief reason why you think it was good/helpful for you. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!:)

There is an excellent cookbook by Barbara Kafka called the Microwave Gourmet. There are two versions (the standard version and the healthy cooking version). I have both but highly recommend the standard version.
Looks like Rhonda beat me by a few seconds, but we both agree, that's the one to get.

There are only two or three things I cook in a microwave. Vegs. scrambled eggs, and fish because it stays so moist the way I do it. But other than that in my opinion it is a lousy way to cook. Altho let's not forget popcorn LOL
