Cooking With Steam: Spectacular Full-Flavored Low-Fat Dishes from Your Electric Steamer Paperback – December 21, 2015

I have gave this book away for a gift

Good recipes. Easy to find recipes.

So- you're trying to get healthy, and you just bought an electric steamer. There are instructions included for a few things, but aside from the basics, you have no clue where to go with your new gadget. Is it destined to live in the "Rarely Used Appliance" cabinet, along with the waffle iron and the Slap Chop?In a word: NO! Cooking With Steam is a class act. It's small and compact, and every page is packed with information. I do wish it had pictures (that's why it's a 4 star review). What it does have: time charts for different vegetables, meats, fish and poultry- and recipes so you can sally forth into the world of steaming with confidence.Steaming is not just for veggies anymore! Yeah, there are a ton of vegetable recipes- and they sound delicious. But wait! How do Cornish Game Hens stuffed with Provencal Herbs sound? Barbecued Baby Back Ribs? Bittersweet Chocolate Pudding Cake?As someone who bought a steamer on a whim, thinking it would be great for veggie sides and the occasional plain old boring chicken breast, my eyes have been opened to the possibilities of steam. Fantastic cookbook!

Arrived quickly and in good shape. Love the product.

Didn’t really think it was worth the price

I like this cookbook; however, she uses electric steamers that are already "dated", not available. She would have done better to have made recommended the best features to find on steamers, versus particular brands. The brands she reviewed are mostly NOT AVAILABLE. The recipes are good, but I do not like the fact that her recipes recommend which specific electric steamer to use.If you are going to have ONE single food steamer cookbook, this is a good one to use as a reference.

I just got this book last week and have already tried two recipes. They were SO GOOD. One recipe was the one with the cauliflower and the other was rosemary chicken. I've been struggling with using my steamer and this is a great help with it. Obviously I could cook plain stuff but I wanted something more interesting. With this book I am getting that. I have a couple of more recipes marked to try this week. I can't wait!

I am new to steaming and wanted a good book with basic steam time charts for meat , poultry , seafood and vegetables ~ and recipes I would actually use ~ This book hits the mark and I am very pleased !
