A Man, a Can, a Microwave : 50 Tasty Meals You Can Nuke in No Time (Man, a Can... Series)

This, surprisingly, turned out to be a good cookbook. Recipes are easy and use the microwave although some still use top of stove (i.e. hard to cook linguine or spaghetti noodles otherwise). I tried a bunch of recipes and most are pretty good, but not outstanding (microwave cooking rarely beats stovetop or oven). Designed to appeal to men, most recipes are designed for 2-4 servings (if you are a single guy, 2 meals). Good cookbook to use in the summer if you don't want to heat up the kitchen.

I totally loved Rapid Reuban sandwiches, Tuna Sopranos, and Maui Beany Weenies.

One caveat. With a couple exceptions, I don't recommend this cookbook for diabetics as many of the recipes are simply too high in carbs.
