In 1969 he gave a talk at the Royal Society titled "The physicist in the kitchen", in which he amazed the audience by using the recently invented microwave oven to make a "reverse Baked Alaska", aka Frozen Florida (cold outside, hot inside).

I recommend two cookbooks (paper only) both available used at minimal prices

Belling . . . hmm . . . not a brand that I remember over here across the Pond.

I put the cookbooks on my want list. Because of my reticence to buy a microwave cookbook, I feel sure that I don't have either one.

The problem with a reverse baked Alaska is that you don't get to see the exciting sight of a server bringing it out on a tray that's on fire.
