A bit more involved for the busy person, but the recipes look wonderful. I prefer when a recipe does not share a page with another recipe. I like the clean slate of having a recipe stand on its own. Good recipe layout. Good font and colors. No pictures. Would prefer pictures in any cookbook.

I want to make recipes from every section of this book. Real food, with real ingredients, simple to prepare early in the day and set aside till it's time to enjoy. Many recipes here are ideal for entertaining as you can prepare your dish early and put it in an out of the way corner to finish itself.

May have to buy this one. I've checked it out many times on my E-reader at the library.

The recipes I had from this cookbook sort of disappointed me. They sounded so good... but the required level of prep did not balance out against the finished product on most of these.

I only tried 3 recipes in this book, so I can't really give it a fair rating. But we didn't like any of those three. Also the cooking times turned out to be different than in the book. One required two more hours than it said, and the other two were done early. I was frustrated, so I decided not to try any more recipes in the book.

Until I discovered Judith Finlayson's slowcooker cookbooks, I thought this was quite a good one. The recipes aren't as refined as Finlayson's. These are good weekday meals. I wouldn't serve any of these recipes as part of a dinner party.

I rarely use this cookbook anymore, but there are quite a few decent recipes in here. If Finlayson doesn't have a recipe in her book (for example jerk chicken), I look here. Good backup cookbook.

My new favorite cookbook. Many useful recipes that don't require a lot of instant processed food. Use it at least several times a week.

This was so not the retro-fun purchase I had hoped it would be....

This has a lot of good standard recipes as well as some variations on recipes we've done before. Definitely a lot of these are going to make it into our cooking rotation.

Absolutely a must-get for people who do a lot of slow-cooker cooking.

Seriously, seriously an excellent resource in the never-ending quest to get real food on the table for dinner every night.

I've been looking for slow cooker recipes that will satisfy my entire family. This book isn't going to suffice. I w/could be happy with this book, but my fussy eater (DH) wouldn't be happy. Too many "foreign" ingredients.
