(From page 1) Our goal in this book is to teach you the principles of microwave cooking. In the first section we'll explain what microwaves are, how they work and how to use them to best advantage. In the second major section (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner), we start you cooking with step-by-step instructions and illustrations. The third section, an alphabetized selection of recipes, is more advanced and includes a number of helpful charts for convenient future reference.
