I keep buying this, and I keep giving it away to needy novice cooks. I need to get a copy for me, and one to give away. I would give it more stars, except I don't think I've ever actually had a chance to use it before the next person swoops down on it.

Love this book! Different because it helps you to make crockpot recipes that taste good...not like chalk.

A very definitive slow cooker cookbook. I bought a copy for myself.

FINALLY a slow cooker cookbook with appetizing recipes that are made from mostly fresh ingredients. I try to stay away from canned soups and other sodium filled packaged foods and most recipes I find online mainly feature those items.

I've only made one recipe in this book and it was fabulous. Can't wait to make some more.

Weird food ingredient combos in this; I wasn't impressed. I only use two recipes out of this. I'm fairly certain this book is headed for donation to the library.

Don't read the book when you are hungry.

This is a really useful cookbook and it does not promote processed foods for the crockpot. I like the addition of fresh foods rather than canned goods. Very good recipes.

I was surprised to find so many interesting things to make in a slow cooker. This book gives details to make everything from spicy almonds to wasasil... oh yeah and main courses, soups, sauces and more. I really found them interesting and looking fairly easy to make. I have a crock pot and I must say that I have not given it much use but after reading this book I am going to get it out- dust it off (oops)- and start cookin'.

I would have given this book five or even six stars for the very creative recipes except there are no photos. For an experienced cook there are almost five hundred pages of recipes.Also a James Beard cookbook award winning author. The first chapters of the book, with so many variations on whole grains won me over. And she doesn't just add nuts and call that a different recipe- There are lots of optional add ins to many of the recipes, Checked this one out from my library but am now buying for my personal collection.

I ordered this one on kindle and was greatly disappointed. Waste of money and Kindle space!

A nice departure from the endless soups, stews and roasts common in slow cooker cookbooks. Not all the recipies are my taste, but I give them credit for stretching my ideas of what a slow cooker can do.
