Product Description

SLOW AND EASY

It's said that good things come to those who wait -- and that's certainly true for anyone who owns an electric crockery slow cooker.Working cooks and busy parents can relax. Most recipes just combine all the ingredients in the pot and let you simply walk away while dinner simmers throughout the day -- or overnight. Delicious family suppers become a snap with The Best Slow Cooker Cookbook Ever

Contemporary recipes include appetizers and snacks, soups and chowders, chilies and stews, chicken and meats, vegetables, side dishes, and condiments. Spanish Chicken with Olives, Spicy Pineapple pork Chili, and Apricot Glazed Chicken are just a few. There's a chapter that's "Mainly Meatless" and one that offers a sumptuous variety of desserts -- Chocolate Raspberry Strata, Berry Peach Cobbler,Lemon Cheesecake -- and hot drinks.

Customer Reviews

Good tasty recipes
I have used this book for years. Someone took my copy and I'm buying another. My favorite no-fuss recipes from the book are Asian-style pot roast and Italian-style beef stew. Even picky toddlers *really* like the beef stew. And if you're in Weight Watchers, you know that the points are low for good-sized portions of slow cooker meals. I highly recommend this book.

My dog wouldn't touch the food from this book!
This cookbook was a real disappointment. We've tried 5 or 6 recipes and none of them were any good. My husband started calling my crockpot the crap-pot because the recipes from this book were so bad. Even our dog refused to eat the chili from this cookbook.

There are many other good cookbooks out there for crockpot recipes. Stay away from this one!!

The one I turn to again and again!
I've had this cookbook for 6 1/2 years and it's stained, spotted and spattered! I use it so much! After reading some of the negative reviews I just had to add my two cents. Granted, some of the recipes are truly horrid, but you'll find bad eggs in any cookbook you buy. My favorites are the Red Bean Beef Chili and the Caribbean Chicken with Bananas. Practically everything I've made has turned out delicious. The author has excellent information on crock-pot cookery at the beginning (including how to add the best flavor to your food--always saute onions first! and why crockpots are safe). I had another crockpot cookbook but gave it away because I never used it.
