5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful book!, June 15, 1999

By A Customer

I bought this book several years ago and have enjoyed many of the fish and chicken recipes in it. With our hot weather in Texas, and only baking for two of us, I've found this works out beautifully and cuts down on the electric bill! I tried to find a copy to give to my mother and have not been able to find it -- so I'm ordering a copy for her!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast and easy to prepare meals, July 4, 2001

By A Customer

I have tried four of the recipes from this book and have enjoyed them all. The ingredients are common or easy to find, and you don't need any special appliances besides a toaster oven. Great for one or two person meals. For groups of people, the appetiser section has good ideas, so you can cook the meal in your main oven and heat appetisers in the toaster oven. Most recipes can be put together and cooked in under an hour.

This slender paperback has a lot to offer in the food category, which is the main point. The recipes were more gourmet and ethnic than I expected, with a lot of new dishes. Even if you choose not to cook them in a tabletop/toastr oven, they're nice to have around for only 1-4 servings. As for the books toaster-friendly side, I'm not so sure. The authors give few special techniques or safety tips, a must for an appliance notorious for being a fire hazard. Also, most small toaster ovens are hell to clean, making it questionable whether you'd want to broil a lot of greasey things like hamburgers in them.
