Cooking with the Breville Smart Oven, A Quick-Start Cookbook: 101 Easy & Delicious Recipes, plus Pro Tips & Illustrated Instructions, from Quick-Start Cookbooks!

I really enjoy cooking and I really love my toaster oven, so I was pretty delighted when I stumbled upon this cookbook for my Breville toaster oven! I made the Pesto & White Wine Salmon for my husband and he loved it. He was in the kitchen with me as I prepared it and he was impressed with how easy the recipe was to follow (literally just 4 ingredients - the salmon, white wine, pesto and lemon). As a fan of reheating last night's pizza in the toaster oven, he even commented that broiling salmon was as easy as reheating last night's pizza. Yup... now, maybe that means he'll cook dinner tomorrow night. ;o) I'll leave the cookbook open to the Tex-Mex chicken quesadillas or the Tomato Avocado Melt and hope he does the rest! lol

Would have appreciated more recipes for meats, casseroled, etc. More plant based. Did learn more about using the oven. Purchased other convention oven cookbooks and used the internet to find what I wanted.

Easy to follow

You get what you pay for. This is a marvelous oven. I needed a good toaster that would do several slices at once, and an all purpose small oven/broiler. This is it. From what I read, I thought this one might be difficult to learn to use. I would say it's anything but difficult. I read the instructions, set my oven temperature 25 degrees lower than usual (as recommended) because it is a convection oven. Never have had a failure. Great oven. EASY to keep clean, another great feature.

I should have gotten the Kindle version; this book is very poorly done, and definitely not worth $14.46. As others have mentioned, many of the recipes are not the sort of thing the average American would want to eat (or search for the ingrediants)! However, recipes for basic stuff that most people WOULD like to prepare quickly on a busy day are missing. To illustrate the poor quality of the paperback, the recipe for Buttery Plum Clafoutis (p. 137) doesn't mention WHEN to add the 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (though it iS listed in the ingredients! The only part of the book that *I found useful was the first 15 pages, which describe the features of a "smart" toaster oven (and precautions - like using parchment paper instead of nonstick aluminum foil because the aluminum can make the make the inside of the oven much too hot.

Because I love cookbooks in general, this one is fine. I did pick up some pointers specific to the Smart Oven, but overall there did not appear to me much to write home about.

Easy to use. Very heavy to pick up. The door does not open fully so it is difficult to hold the door open to take out hot food with one hand

The cookbook was for a mini toaster oven which you did not know when you ordered it. It still didn’t answer some of my questions being new to using a toaster oven.

Yes it met with all expectations.Thank you,Debra

This is a very sloppy book. It does not give the model so it frequently refers to convection which my smart oven does not have. This alone would not matter but . . . I tried a couple of the recipes and THEY DON'T WORK!!I am returning this book and will search out a different one.

Some recipes are trivial - eg sandwiches - and there's a lot of white space in the book.
