I disagree strongly with any and all of the negative reviews of this book. I am a good cook overall but when I want something that is good old fashion home cooking and don't have time to be in the kitchen I pull out this cookbook. I have tried many of the recipes and each of them have turned out well. Of course, like with any cookbook you end up with your favorites that you go back to over and over again. I also recommend preparing your crock pot meal the night before, sliding it in the fridge and just plugging it in the next morning. What could be simpler? Especially great for working Moms. Also, if you have a larger crock pot you can easily 1.5X or double the recipes. This also makes a terrific bridal shower gift accompanying a crock pot. Happy home cooking!

I have quite a few cookbooks in my collection and received this one last Christmas. I have tried 4 recipes in it all of which are not that good. Funky flavors and weird ingredients. I would definitely not recommend this one unless you enjoy throwing out the food you cook and wasting money and time.

I was very pleased with this collection. Often in older books, the recipes are quite fatty. With this collection, care has been given not only in creating tasty recipes, but what's healthy. Nutritional info is provided for each recipe, and I find the cooking times/serving sizes to be accurate. It's spiral bound and will lay flat. There is room on the page margins for notes, but so far none of the recipes I've required any adapting - we like the seasonings as is.
There are a few pages in the beginning about buying a slowcooker and some techniques like using foil handles to lift out a roast. There is metric information/conversion tables in the back. I would suggest getting a crockpot that has a removable liner, because then you can load it up before bed, turn it off when you get up, shove it in the fridge, and reheat it later when you come home from work. It's also easier to clean up.
Chapters include: Appetizers & Beverages, Soups & Stews, Meats, Poultry, Meatless, Vegetables and Side Dishes, Quick Fix-Ups, Desserts. The ones I've made freeze well - like the beef brisket, chicken curry, italian chicken, etc.
Vegetarians won't have much of a selection in just one chapter of meatless dishes, but those living in households that have vegetarian and non-vegetarian members may find that slow cooker recipes make for easier compromises since there is minimal handling of meat when you cook it in a slow cooker.
Overall, I'd definitely suggest this book as your first crockpot recipe purchase. It's an excellent starting point.

A must for working people
This book has been a life saver for my house. Like many other both people work. No one can afford to go out to eat every night, nor can we spend the time on dinning out. Read more

You might want to buy an extra copy for sharing!
I found this book in the bookstore shortly after buying my crockpot three years ago -- initially, to cook standard soup and bean recipes with little effort. Read more
