Everyday Cooking with the Halogen Oven, The Revolutionary Way to Cook Meals in Half the Time

Really nice cookbook
Very well laid out. A picture of the dish is on one page and recipe on the next. Ingredients are easy to come by, but every recipe seems to have " another way " option or "now try this" suggestions. I was amazed to find a recipe for popping corn in your halogen oven. Something I would not have considered. The options for popped corn other than plain are: sweet maple sauce, a herb topping, spicy topping, popcorn-marshmallow bar, Poppy Road, and colored popcorn. (Not microwave popcorn, so no salt or oil necessary). Enough recipes to make a full course meal with snacks and desserts. Breakfast dishes are included. The authors have included a nice chapter explaining the uses and advantages of the halogen oven. The more I use mine, I find other small appliances that will be going to new homes.

Would recommend this book AND the halogen oven
I got a Super Wave Halogen oven for Christmas and absolutely love it. I have cooked different meats in it and everything turned out well. This book takes you beyond cooking a roast or a chicken and gives lots of good ideas for meals. The oven turns out the juiciest meats and doesn't heat up the kitchen, which, since I live in Georgia, will be great in the hot days of summer.

I like this book because it gives me ideas
I like this book because it gives me ideas. Unfortunately, I was hoping for more recipes for vegetables. Also, I bought it to learn about using my nuwave oven. My nuwave only goes up to 350 degrees, and some recipes in the book call for 400 degrees. So, I will have to figure out how to do the adjustment. Let me add that, it did ship quickly and has nice recipes and pictures.

WONDERFUL BOOK
This is the best cook book to use with your halogen oven. Every recipe includes a picture and instructions on where to put the rings, temperature, time, etc. The recipes are very easy to follow and I have made several recipes from this book. This morning I made Thai fish cakes and instead of using the fish that the recipe called for I used imitation crab meat and the fish cakes are delicious. Making French fries is a snap following the directions, and using this same recipe I have also made French fried sweet potatoes. I am very, very happy with this book and would recommend it to anyone who has a halogen oven.

Great Range of Meals
Being new to halogen cooking, I scoured Amazon's choices for recipe books and was impressed with this book's Editorial Review and single Customer Comment. I ordered it immediately and am so glad. The variety of recipes, many with excellent alternatives, as well as the creativity in flavorings and presentations, is wonderful. So are the inspiring photos that appear facing the recipes. Because ovens vary, another detail the authors thoughtfully provide is "The Tortilla Test" to calibrate your oven's timing in relation to the book's recipe times. And, even though the authors are English, the ingredients are listed in common American measures, rather than metrics. If you enjoy good food and are looking for variety in your meals, this book is definitely worthy. Bon Appetit!

Great process!
Sofar so good - love it! Kind of guessing at the timing - don't have much patience forbooks actually. Works well to cut your estimated time in half so the items can beturned, if meat needs browning. When I received the oven - I also received ane-mail from the Co. to see if I "needed anything" - so contrary to some reviews -I feel the Co. is there to back up the warranty.Love the process - sofar used it about 2 or 3X pter week. Nice addition to my kitchen!

Not "every day."
You might give it more stars if your idea of "every day" cooking includes filet mignon with a trio of sauces; lemon and oregano pork escalopes; focaccia; Moroccan Monkfish; Thai fish cakes; pate; apricot ginger upside-down cake, and the like. It will help if your kitchen has all the spices you have room for. The seven pages (out of 144)explaining halogen cooking are good, but not worth $15. Its cooking time for chicken is about twice what the Sharper Image Halogen Oven manual recommends. I know the oven manual's time is correct, having followed it. In fact, almost everything "every day" is in the manual. This book's title is misleading.
