One of my favorite cookbook for many years. Especially good for families! Quite a few of the recipes contained in the book have been my "go-to" meals as a working mom. Excellent guidelines and tips. I have given this book several times for gifts to family members.

lots of similar recipes. not really anything new.

A revised and updated version with 700 recipes. This version has more "words of wisdom" interspersed with the recipes and a few more recipes. If you haven't read the earlier versions, just read this one.

You do have to becareful, because some of this will burn if you fix it and leave for work all day. If you come home at lunch & turn it on, you are good to go. OR if you have great kids who come home from school that can get your already prepped pot out of the frig & tun it on...

A few of the recipes, like the stews with more sause/gravy/soup are easy fixes... Just not the pasta dishes or the ones that actually bake something.

I liked that the recipes were food I would actually cook. Fairly simple food without a lot of complication or obscure ingredients. ON the downside though, it does read like one of those church bazaar cookbooks where there are 12 different recipes for sloppy joes or something like that.

An absolutely terrific cookbook offering plenty of easy, yummy recipes specific to slow cookers. The ingredients are not esoteric and the recipes are easy to follow. The recipes were created by real cooks in real kitchens, as opposed to chefs in test kitchens who never seem to know or care what real people eat and that real people have lives outside the kitchen. Finally, the index is plenty comprehensive, so if you feel like making something that involves mostly potatoes, or steak or beans, no problem. This is the sort of cookbook that winds up splattered with sauces and stuff, because it gets used over and over and over again.

Easy one-pot cooking that is especially good during the summer since we don't have to turn on a hot over. Easier cleanup afterwards. With Covid, we aren't going to restaurants a few times a week as we usually do, so we're doing ALL our own cooking. Hubby likes the crockpot, as he cannot burn his shirt tail on it. (Don't ask!)

Nothing is a whole lot easier than throwing a bunch of stuff in a slow cooker and getting a good meal out of it. For great recipes from a classic slow cooker book...check this one out.

Oh my fucking god, I love these cookbooks. They take recipes from, like, a 1980s call-in radio show, or something, and bind and print and put them forward, untested, with no comments, no advice, and almost no organization. It’s glorious! There is something so female about it, and I love it. Stephanie, from Chagrin Falls, did you put Manwich sauce in your kidney beans, *and* Velveeta, *and* hot sauce? A little liquid smoke? Fuck Yeah You Did, Sister, and I love you for it.

I use this cookbook all the time! One of the best things I love about it is that there are often several recipes for the same meal. If I don't have all the ingredients for a specific version, I can take different parts from similar recipes. An example would be sloppy joes. There are a few different versions and I can mix and match ingredients. I am not the most creative or ambitious cook, so this cookbook has been fantastic!

Easy to follow recipes for any type of cook. I even bought a physical copy for my mother as she kept borrowing mine.

I will say prepare yourself for 6 to 10 recipes of the same dish, with minor variations. Otherwise it's a good cookbook.
