We can all think of those traditional recipes (roasted vegetables, fish, meat, sponge cakes, frittatas etc.), however, many of us don"t know the easiest way to make them or simply get overwhelmed by the thought of how much time it would take us to cook them. That"s why we are constantly looking for alternatives that meet our needs, help us improve our quality of life and particularly, that promote a healthy diet. Experience tells us that when cooking it is just as important what we make as how we make it. Along these lines, Lekue and the Alicia Foundation share one common goal for this cookbook "to help us all eat better". A complete team of cooking professionals has prepared this new cookbook to help you cook fast, clean, safe and healthy meals; recipes that pamper each and every food while it is cooked in the microwave so as to allow us to enjoy the ingredients original flavors in a different way. In just 10 minutes you can add a vegetable lasagna or potato gratin to your weekly menu. In order to making cooking easier than ever, this cookbook includes 27 simple microwave cooking recipes that you can mix and match following the recommended weekly nutritional guidelines. Each recipe also comes with tips and tricks to help you achieve the desired result and will also tell you the amount of the 3 food groups in the meal that you will make using each recipe. Lekue and the Alicia Foundation have worked to provide recipes adapted to today"s times. In doing so we have worked with the best cooks, chemists, food technologists, nutritionists and designers, all working toward the same goal: to make cooking a gastronomic experience that will captivate the palate of those who are starting to learn how to cook and those who, while note forgetting about keeping a proper diet, value their time.
