Customer Reviews

An unexpected gem.
With turkey taking up the oven this thanksgiving I tried the "Yogurt Zucchini with Onion" recipe and was amazed with the simplicity of the process. I found it nice to be able to put something together and forget about it for a while. By cooking the dish in my toaster-oven (which usually sits unused) I had time to vacuum and straighten up the living room before my guests arrived - without having to stand over the stove and stir. Further, the baking made the dish extra flavorful and healthy. I'm planning on freeing my toaster oven from bagel-boredom and venturing on to some more recipes...

great recipes
I have found this book to have tremendous recipes, and most are low fat. Everything I have tried works to perfection. My only complaint, is the pan sizes are not real. Like many recipes call for an 81/2x81/2x4 one quart dish. There is no such dish.

Pop It In The Toaster Oven
Can an author review her own cookbook? Well, let me just say that when I was approached with the idea to write a cookbook for toaster ovens, I thought it was a silly idea--because I didn't know anything about toaster ovens. Two years later, testing over 300 recipes and doing alot of research with this amazing little appliance, I am convinced that the toaster oven is indeed one of domestic technologies' best kept secrets! I found out that the toaster oven can do stir-fries, carmelize, sautees, and soups! The recipes are all geared to combining all ingredients and putting it in the toaster oven--freeing up time to go do something else until the dish is done to perfection! I you've got a "full plate" schedule, you'll love this book!
