Product Description
Product Description
Sales of halogen ovens are increasing as cooks discover the benefits of this new form of cooking. A halogen oven cooks food almost as quickly as a microwave oven but with the added bonus of browning and crisping the food like a conventional oven. New halogen oven owners love the results but desperately need a recipe book which will help them cook their favourite dishes in their new ovens. Now Norma Miller has written this comprehensive new book which covers all the traditional favourites, plus some exciting new contemporary recipes.
About the Author
Norma Miller is the author of The Juicing Secret and co-author with Annette Yates of Slow Cooking: Best New Recipes, and the Fresh & Fast series: Meals from the Hob, Meals from the Oven and Meals from the Microwave.

This should not be confused with other cookery books with the same title. It looks a bit like an old style paperback, poor quality paper and no photographs,associated with the recipes.
The most off putting part was the lack of photographs although I appreciate that homemade dishes rarely look like the photographs in the books they at least give you a feel of what the completed dish should be.
The book starts with 23 pages of hints and tips, some quite useful but many of the type "You can watch your food cooking through the glass bowl" I had guessed that. The recipes are then divided into six sections:-
1/ Just Vegetables
2/Rice, Pasta, Grains and Beans
3/Meat, Poultry and Game
4/Fishy Things
5/Sweet and Sticky Desserts
6/Tempting Bakes
In all about 100 recipes, which to be fair have comprehensive instructions and each have an introduction with the advice to use a tin/dish which fits your oven and start with the instruction "Remove the lid from the halogen oven" which I must admit is a pretty good start. Some of the recipes have an unusual twist for example on the back cover it states "All the traditional favourites such as Shepherd's Pie....." This is the first time I have found Shepherd's pie without potatoes and carrots and parsnips instead.
In summary if this is going to be your first halogen cookbook buy one of the other ones with the same or similar titles for example the one by Paul Jones & Leah Meads, however if you have other books and you do not mind the lack of photographs this book will add to your collection of recipes.

Bought the book because we had just boought a halogen oven and we wanted to get the best out of it. The book is somewhat restricted in its recipes but that was okay because we wanted to walk before running with anything exotic! The book has been very useful being right up to date with halogen cooking; you cannot for example use normal oven timings and temperature as everything would be burnt or overdone. What halogen cooking has given us is the ability to watch what is happening inside the oven, economy, speed and the ability to clean very easily whatever it is you have cooked. The book gave us the confidence to experiment from cheese on toast right up to a full blown roast meal. I would recommend it to any new user of a halogen oven.

Using a Halogen oven for the first time I did not find the book very helpful. I was hoping for more basic information on timings and temperatures. As for the recipes, PLAIN cooking is what I seek not necessarily gourmet meals. Disappointing.

Hello to Halogen cooking......
I bought a halogen cooker and was surprised there was no recipe book or card inside the box. Usually, there are suggestions at least, so I didn't know what to do with it. Read more
