Microwave Meals by Tim Anderson

Microwave Meals is full of delicious recipes that are all simple and accessible enough to prepare even on the busiest of weekdays. You can try your hand at Pork with Miso and Stem Ginger Syrup, Spaghetti Carbonara, Jackfruit and Mushroom Enchiladas, Crab and Artichoke Gratin, and even Overnight Cinnamon Rolls and Emergency Mixing Bowl Cookie Cake. Plus, it also covers basic skills, including cooking rice, steaming vegetables and creating stocks, all with the help of the microwave.

Tim is a huge fan of using spice blends in his cooking so you can also purchase his book with our Cajun, Garam Masala and Japanese Togarashi blends – a great bundle to get cooking! 

He says: "Tim says: "I’m on a microwave mission from high. The microwave is energy efficient, it’s fast, it’s low-mess and low-effort, and it can cook more than you probably think – like, way more! Pasta, brownies, crispy chicken skin, custard, rice, fish – the list goes on. And that's where Spice Kitchen comes in."
