Product Description:

The solution? The trusty toaster oven—which is designed to bake, roast, toast, and broil small portions of food both efficiently and economically. This amazing cookbook will show time-pressed cooks how to prepare delicious, healthy meals quickly and easily, while opening their eyes to the wide range of dishes that are possible with this often underutilized appliance.

Rating : - Nice handbook for the novice and/or busy cook
I like this book because it gave me some great ideas on what to do with my toaster oven, and there are many different things I can do with it, that I hadn't thought about. I will probably not make the low fat versions of many of the recipes, since that isn't the way we eat, but there are some terrific ideas in here. I like it that she shows us what is possible with the toaster oven and how to get the results you want. It has made me value my new "toy" more than ever. There are some recipes that I will make as is; the main dishes and sides look good to me, and there were several that I thought sounded excellent. We don't eat a lot of desserts, so that section didn't interest me, especially since it was low fat. We stopped dieting and started eating healthfully, watching portion sizes and eating a variety of foods. The weight comes off if you are intelligent and thoughtful about your choices. You can eat anything you want, within reason. You don't need to do low fat or low carb or any other low thing out there! All in all, a handy little book, and a good resource. I am also buying a cookbook for convecton cooking since my toaster oven has a nice convection feature, and this book really didn't go into that.
