Rating:  Summary: Great book!!!! Necessary for anyone with a croc-pot!!!! Review: As a single man that works hard, i found that a slow cooker is a great way to have good meals. This book is a MUST for anyone that uses a croc-pot.
Rating:  Summary: Highy recoomened, lots of variety, has nutrition info Review: I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to make delicious, easy to make meals without a lot of time & effort. Recipes include desserts, soups, vegetables & main meals. It is printed in blue ink with a few full-page color photos. The book starts out with menu suggestions & crockery basics. Great tips for thickening sauces, browning & enhancing presentation are also included. Conveniently, recipes are then arranged by cooking time from less than 6 hours to more than 10. I love that there are tips to lower fat content & that nutritional information is included for each recipe. There is a lot of variety here including traditional favorites like beef stew & chicken soup as well as international delights such as tamale pie & Thai pork. There are also great dishes for entertaining such as bread pudding & Italian roll-ups.

Rating:  Summary: Crockery for the Elitist Review: Perhaps my title is a little strong, however I feel this book was designed for cooks proud of using the crock-pot for specialized meals. The recipes call for ingredients not on every grocery store shelf. This book is great if prize winning crock meals are something you want to tout @ mealtime. If I wanted to be boastful about my meals, I wouldn't be using a crock-pot! I wanted a cookbook for easy, quick, ordinary crock meals. I am searching to find a crock cookbook without the pomp and circumstance, one that is common, traditional, everyday. I would endorse this book if fancy crock cooking were your desire. It is terrific for that purpose.
