What do you do when you usually cook for one or two and you love the speed and convenience of a microwave oven, but all of your microwave cook books contain only recipes that make four, six, or more servings?

To get you started on micro-cooking in small quantities, the first section explains the basics. It tells what variable power means and which utensils you can use for micro-cooking. In addition, it gives you three special chartsReheating Foods for One or Two, Defrosting Foods for One or Two, and Microwave Tips.

In the three chapters that follow, youll find delicious ideas and specific instructions for many micro-cooked foods for one or two. The first chapter contains 49 special recipes that give quantities and cooking times for both one and two servings. In the second chapter youll find recipes that help you turn the smallest common unit of food you can buy into several different and exciting recipes. And the third chapter contains microwave versions of favorite one-dish meals for one or two.
