This was an extremely helpful book for a single person who likes to cook, and who just bought a small (1.5 quart) slow cooker. Some of the recipes I haven't tried yet, but I'm looking forward to the cheese fondue! The beef burgandy came out great, as did the lentil and butternut squash stew. The recipes use mostly fresh stuff, and don't rely on weird canned products (no adding a can of cream of something soup). It is a British book, so some of the expectations of which ingredients are common aren't quite accurate for the US (they give special instructions on where to find sweet potatos, but have about six recipes for lamb dishes, for example). There is a good selection of meat and vegetarian recipes.

I just received this book and I have to say I expected quite a lot more from this book! It has weird stuff in it; like Duck. Who is going to buy and make duck for 1 person? Very Disappointed. Leeks, lentils, bulghar....yuk. Anyway, I thought some basics would be included.........very little. There are quite a few desserts though. I will give the book a try and see how those recipes I can use (without buying specialty items)work.
