Curious about creating a meal in a mug? Check out a book! We've just added this one to our extensive cookbook collection:
Meal in a Mug, 80 Fast, Easy Recipes for Hungry People, All You Need is a Mug and a Microwave, by Denise Smart.
Description from our catalog: For anyone who can't cook, won't cook, or doesn't have the time to cook--but still wants a fresh, delicious meal instead of takeout or packaged, processed food when they're eating alone--here is the answer. All you need for real food, really fast, is a large mug, a microwave, a handful of ingredients, and a spoon.
