The Classic 1000 Microwave Recipes
User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Not for modern microwaves
This book was a great disappointment. First of all, it is written by a British author and calls for many ingredients and has many recipes that are not well suited for the American kitchen. But most important, it is written using 750 watt ovens as the standard. This is such an old standard. I installed a microwave in October and it is 1200 watts. What a difference that makes. I thought the book was recently published, but it turned out that it was really older than I thought, as the paperback edition publishing date Amazon provides is misleading.
What I don’t understand is why there are no recent cookbooks for the microwave. Every book I’ve perused seems to be more than 10 years old. You’d think someone would write an up-to-date book as a comprehensive guide to the many things you can cook in a microwave (believe me, I’ve experimented since I got mine). But that doesn’t seem to be the case.
3 Stars Fancy recipes
Well the book does teach you how to cook everything in the microwave but the reason I wanted to cook in the microwave is to make fast and very simple meals…I wanted easy recipes not recipes with lots of crazy ingredients. If you want to cook gourmet meals with fresh herbs in the microwave then this book is for you but if you want something simple then pick another book.
2 Stars A bit foreign for US cooks
I was looking for a general guide to some easy, quick microwave recipes. What I got was a book that is a bit more European than I can use. The recipes are not geared toward an American palate. Some would see this as an advantage, but I didn’t find it “the only” microwave book I’d ever need. It calls for obscure(to me anyway)ingredients, many I don’t recognise. I think of myself as a somewhat adventurous cook but most of these recipes do not appeal to me at all. A waste of my money.
5 Stars You don’t need another microwave cooking book
This is the A to Z of microwave cooking. Form starters & soups to Sauces, pickles, desserts and ofcourse main dishes. The recipes are well explained and easy to read. It also has a good collection of microwave tips. If I had known about that earlier, I would not have bought another book on microwave cooking tips 
Pick this up..Its a steal !

I Love Crab Cakes 50 Recipes for an American Classic
Where do you get the best crab cakes? Ask one hundred different people and you’ll likely get one hundred different answers. Some swear by classic Chesapeake Bay crab cakes, and some by spicy Creole crab cakes, while others maintain that Pacific Northwest crab cakes can’t be beat. In I Love Crab Cakes!, award-winning chef and cookbook author Tom Douglas brings the best of East, West, and Gulf coasts to the table and proves that the most delicious crab cakes of all come straight from your home kitchen.
Tom thoroughly examines every thorny, crab cake-related issue. Bread crumbs, cracker crumbs, panko, or no crumbs at all? What kind of crabmeat: Dungeness, king, or Peeky Toe? Are the best crab cakes pan-fried, deep-fried, or not even cooked?
Tom offers up dozens of his famous crab cake recipes, including classic crab cakes from East and West, North and South, plus newer innovations such as Wild Ginger Crab Cakes, Pesto Risotto Crab Cakes, and Crab Louie Cheesecakes. There are crab cake sandwiches, breakfast crab cakes, and crab cake sauces and salsas.

5 Stars Great Resource
Whether you want to learn to make Crab Cakes and/or feel confident enough to make them for dinner parties this is the perfect book. The recipes are easy to follow, every one (7 so far) I have tried has been outstanding. I’ve also found that I will be able to create my own recipes from what I’ve learned making these. It makes a great gift for cooks of all abilities that love crab cakes!

This book has lots of information about types of crab meat and the recipes are easy, fun and taste great. I’ve made a couple of the recipes and they were all the best crab cakes I’ve ever made.
