Marie T. Smith (1933-1987), a former resident of Lakeland, Florida, was an experienced microwave chef and teacher who wrote a microwave cooking column for the Plant City Post. She frequently attended microwave symposiums and was an expert in many areas of microwave cookery and technology.
Smith's 300-plus recipes rarely take more than a half hour to prepare, and often less than that. Advanced models of microwaves can now brown, saute and roast, as well as boil and steam, for a range of recipes that experienced cooks will appreciate. Neophytes will be helped by the thorough instructions on such basics as soft-boiling eggs. Smith's practical bent is further evidenced by her tips for using leftover raw ingredientsthere's an entire chapter on preserves, relishes and sauces. Her thoroughness fails though when she presents a long list of kitchen utensils that are identified by brand name rather than general description so that one doesn't know whether conventional pots and pans can be substituted.
