Vegan Microwave Cookbook

Author: Nancy Berkoff

Fast, easy, good-tasting, exciting, comforting. Words that describe what people want from their meals. Words that describe microwave cooking. Just about everyone would like to come home to a pot of soup that's been slowly simmering on the stove all day. Or wake up to hot muffins in the morning. However, unless you have an enchanted kitchen, these dream dishes are probably not going to materialize unless you become acquainted with your microwave. The Vegan Microwave Cookbook is your key to terrific vegan meals. Many of the recipes in this book will take under 10 minutes to cook. Others may be more appropriate for entertaining. Enjoy vegan meals by preparing dishes from Basic "Meat" Balls and Individual Pizzas to Microwave Lasagna or Cilantro-Marinated Tofu. Spice up your day with Curried Greens, Toasted Nachos, or German Potato Salad. Have a sweet tooth? Try Chocolate Fudge, Graham Cracker Molasses Bread, Chocolate Covered Bananas, and Apple Pie.
