 Not Your Standard Slow Cooker Cookbook At All!!! September 4, 2008

Can't compare this book with all the others in the same category. Very unusual and interesting recipes. Not your canned creamed soup recipes either!!! Can't wait to try it!!!

Although I haven't tried every one of the recipes those I have tried have been simple and quick to prepare and so tasty.

My husband and I agree this book is lacking in the recipe department. There are lots of good tips, but not enough "normal" cooking recipes to rate it above average. How about a plain ol' pork sholder? Nope.
Good as a resource but you'll grow beyond it quickly July 19, 2008

I like cookbooks that explain how to do the basics well, how to make the most of leftovers and how to substitute ingredients when my cupboard is bare.
More often than not, these cookbooks inject a bunch of specialty ingredients I wouldn't normally stock or couldn't find at a local supermarket if my life depended on it.
This book is a fair resource for beginners. Consider it a starting point. You'll develop your own stable of recipes and probably ignore the other 80% of the recipes in this book. That doesn't mean this isn't worth purchasing though, especially if you haven't used a slow cooker before.

I bought this cookbook after checking it out briefly from the library mostly because it had a lot of recipes, none of which involved using cream of whatever soup, whole bottles of salad dressing, or onion soup mix. I was looking for healthy recipes that I could make in my slow cooker and I was having trouble finding good recipes that use what I consider 'real' ingredients. I have tried several recipes and they have been very good and very healthy. I look forward to trying many more. There is some prep involved with many of the recipes which I am willing to live with since I insist on using fresh ingredients. I usually chop everything I can the night before and it takes me no more than 10-15 minutes in the morning to put it all together. I do use a programmable slow cooker since I am often away for longer than the food needs to cook. It cooks for however long I tell it to and then automatically switches to a warming mode. For me, this has drastically changed the quality of the food that I get (no more overcooked, dry or mushy food). Basically, if you want a slow cooker cookbook using non-processed, healthy ingredients with a wide variety of tasty recipes and you don't mind a little bit of prep work, this is the book for you. If you want a cookbook for 'dump some junk in a slow cooker in less than five minutes' recipes, this is probably not the book for you.
