The Halogen Oven Everyday Cookbook

i bought a halogen oven and needed guidance beyond the manual this is a wonderful cookbook i have the british version and do not find it a problem as one of the reviewers did but there is now also an american version with all the conversions done for you i also bought a couple of cookbooks for the oven by other authors and never use them not only were sarah's hints on how to best use a halogen oven useful but her recipes are really yummy tomorrow i will try my first yeast bread recipe but i have been using the cookbook for several months now and have yet to be disappointed

I purchased the Halogen oven for my wife as she was trying to help us eat healthier and that meant moving away from fried foods. She really liked this little oven but wondered about how some of her recipes would work in it as the directions in most cookbooks were for conventional ovens and this oven is anything but conventional. It cooks things quicker. So, we purchase this cookbook and discovered lots of recipes that are very tasty and cook quickly with this new Halogen cooker. What was better was that as you read through it you get a good idea of how long items will take to cook in your new Halogen Oven and that makes it easier to translate those times to other recipes you have for conventional ovens. Overall we are very satisfied with this cookbook

I don't "do" recipes very well, preferring instead to just throw stuff together. I had been hoping my BIG BOSSTM 1300-Watt Oil-Less Fryer, 16-Quart would be my go-to cooker instead of the microwave, but I haven't quite been able to figure out how to get the timing and temperature right for good results and so have not used it as frequently as I thought I would. Immediately on receiving this cookbook (now with measurements adjusted for U.S. cooks!), I could see what I've been doing wrong. Flower's introduction both corrected my technique and gave me confidence that, yes, I will be able to follow my "just throw stuff together" predilection. Flowers encourages experimentation, and it's clear she loves her halogen oven. Each recipe is laid out with the ingredients separated from the "put it together" part and arranged to the outer portion of the page to make it easier to assemble ingredients beforehand. For people who are averse to recipes, like me, this is a helpful arrangement. To try the recipes, I can make myself assemble the ingredients or, as is my wont, just scrounge around for something similar to throw together. As far as the recipes themselves go, there are easier ones (like the potatoes, snacks, and sandwich-type dishes) that seem ideal to give the new halogen oven owner experience with how it works. There are casseroles and vegetable dishes and even cakes and other desserts, along with the meat, fish, and poultry dishes. A few require you to pre-prep ingredients on the stovetop, but most of them can be handled entirely with the oven. The value of this book is as a learning tool to help you get used to, and actually use, your halogen oven. It has a good variety of recipes to allow you to put your halogen oven through its paces, but once you have done that, if you're anything like me, you'll be putting together your own dishes out of ingredients you have on hand. There aren't a lot of books out there on halogen ovens, so if you are new to them, you can't go wrong getting this book. The tips peppered in here and there are helpful, too. (I thought the one from the RVer about using a halogen oven as a mini-dishwasher was fantastic!)

What an excellent resource for users of this technology. Converting from metric is no big deal, and knowing both systems of measurment can be useful. Too, the recipes are simple, with items easily found or substituted. I am thrilled to have so much in one book. The author has given us healthy cooking, common sense suggestions with recipes for vegetarians as well as those who want a good meal without the fuss, well, what more can you ask.

I like the book a lot; I bought it after I bought a halogen countertop oven and wasn't sure how to use it. I only gave it 3 stars because I did not realize this book is published in the UK and uses UK measurements and temperatures. I'm in the US so I have to convert everything when I use a recipe. Not a huge problem; I mostly got the book to get an overview of how to use this type of oven vs. a conventional oven. I just make notes in the book when I use a recipe so I know what to do next time. The book also has a lot of recipes for things that are unfamiliar to me (Toad in the Hole??). But I find that interesting; I might try a few and broaden my horizons!

I keep the cookbook on my counter top. It has taken all of the guess work out of using my new oven. The recipes are wonderful...I did have to get a conversion chart for temp. settings and measurements. There are no pictures, and that would have been nice, since some of the recipes are unique to the U.K. ( Toad in The Hole is one of my favorites) But, absolutely a must with my new Halogen Oven.

I am sure this is a great book if you live in the UK. However I, like another reviewer would have preferred an American author. There are some recipies that I have no clue what the basic dish is by the title. I have the ability to change metric into US measures but I would prefer the US verson. Just lazy I guess! I am sure Ms. Flower is an excellent cook. It's just an old America addage, "Keep it simple stupid". With this book I feel stupid..And as my title says, I should have looked inside before I ordered it.

I was very disappointed when I saw that the cookbook was done in UK metric system - liters, centigrade -- which would require me to have a couple charts and a calculator handy every time I wanted to use it. I finally determined it was too much trouble and returned the cookbook. Unfortunately, I will have to pay the return postage. If it was shown in your website that it was done on the metric system, I didn't notice that. I have now ordered two other cookbooks and am happy with them.

YO ME EQUIVOQUÉ..YO CREIA QUE ERA LA OLLA....Y NO......ERA EL LIBRO.....ELLOS ME TRATARON MUY BIEN

Des doublons avec l'autre livre du même auteur mais c'est normal, cependant, ce livre est très intéressant et grâce aux recettes on peut presque se passer d'un four traditionnel....J'avais acheté ce four halogène mais les recettes n'étaient pas aussi complètes, et ici l'utilisation journalière de cette petite merveille est possible. Attention cependant, regarder la lampe halogène quand elle se met en route n'est pas conseillée par mon ophtalmo....le four est mis dans une pièce comme la buanderie, une fois la cuisson terminée et la cuisson annoncée terminée par le signal de fin de cuisson, pas de problème.. Les conseils sont bons, rien à redire...

I use this recipe book every time I use my new Halogen oven. Never having used a halogen before my recent purchase this book has proved invaluable to me. Not only for recipes but the tips and experience of cooking with her oven by the author is a constant point of reference of "how to do" for me. Excellent!

Just what we were looking for.
