The Prison Cookbook: A Cookbook for Prison Inmates Full of Delicious Recipes that You can Cook in a Microwave Oven…

I should have known this wasn't going to be what I wanted when it said, "Recipes you can make in a microwave!" omitting that it totally ignores the impossibility of getting the wide variety of ingredients called for in a prison commissary. It should be called "The Microwave Cookbook" and it wouldn't mislead people. It's also filled with too many F-bombs to be palatable.

The title is sorta deceiving in my opinion. While yes the book is all about cooking the recipes in the microwave it is misleading since it actual has nothing to do with prison cooking. I bought this for my son after we watched a YouTube video of guys trying the recipes. This book is nothing like that. It is normal meals you would make on your stove top or oven but now just cooked in the microwave. I was expecting the ingredients to be limited like a prison commissary.

One star because he actually had the book published, but recipes for prison inmates to make? Hardly - flank steak, salmon - certainly not in North Carolina prisons. Don't waste your money if you're buying for an inmate.

Actually I sent this book to a prison inmates hoping the recipes would utilize items available from the prison commissary that could be made in the microwave; but he informed me most ingredients were not available to make the recipes.

I love how this is written!!! I felt like we were in the kitchen exchanging recipes. Although I can see me doing this- my son might. I will try to make them in a regular oven.

happy with purchase

Gift for my son wasn't exactly what he was looking for

It's great
