Anne Reney-Smith has been specialising in Microwave cookery demonstrations, offering her hints and tips and sharing her culinary talents for some years.
She has recently produced a booklet called The Medieval Microwave, which with the help of a friend Colony Keane has now produced on disc.
In this booklet is a host of interesting and mouth watering recipes based on century old recipes with a twist!
Even though modern day lives are so busy, we still crave for that flavour of good old fashioned fresh wholesome food, that at one time the ingredients were only available to you at certain times of the year.
As Anne states in her book

The booklet covers a host of interesting topics from a guide to eating flowers in the 21st century, to herbal remedies and hints and tips on how to quickly remove left over jam from jars to ripening advocado pears!
