Not your mother's crock-pot recipe!, July 19 2006
By A. Bowling - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Glorious One-pot Meals: A New Quick & Healthy Approach to Dutch Oven Cooking (Spiral-bound)
I received this cookbook as a gift from a family member who lives in Denver, where the author lives. I guess that is where this method is most popular, but I wouldn't be surprised if it starts spreading like wildfire. As the mother of a very active toddler, I know first-hand how tough it is to get a healthy, tasty, and not-the-same-as-always meal on the table. I've had this cookbook for several months now and have tried many different recipes. I always add my own flair depending on what I have in the fridge and pantry, and that is the beauty of this method... you can make up your own meals without having to do special shopping but once (I highly recommend getting olive oil spray (Trader Joe's has a good one)to liberally coat your pot -- I do that and do not experience any of the burning that a few others have mentioned in their reviews).I've hopped back onto amazon to buy a few more copies because I can't find them out here in LA yet (hopefully the specialty cooking stores will start to catch on) and I have a birthday and a wedding to attend next month for other busy busy friends who like good food but don't have time to cook often. I just finished reading some of the reviews and thought that I would respond to a few of the negative comments. First, I think it is very important to use a good pot. I use a 2-quart enamel coated cast iron pot -- just like the book suggests. I think if you use just cast iron that isn't enamel coated or if you use stainless steel, you may end up having problems. Also, not all ovens are the same!!! I have a semi-brand-new oven that I've been cooking these meals in, but I then brought my pot and cookbook over to a friend's to show her how it works and the meal (the same meal I've made several times at home) was dried out! She pulled out her oven thermometer and tested her oven, and lo and behold it was hotter than it should have been. I checked the book's website and the author states: "If your oven runs too hot you may find that your veggies are too soft and your meat is dried out."
There are outside factors to consider when using these recipes.. the pot and the oven... once you get those all squared away, it should be smooth sailing... as it was for me!

This book is genius!!, July 10 2006
By Molly Skyar - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Glorious One-pot Meals: A New Quick & Healthy Approach to Dutch Oven Cooking (Spiral-bound)
This book is genius!! It has changed my life. I received this book as a wedding gift but really starting using it when I had a baby and found myself without any time to cook. It is amazing!! You can put together the most delicious meals (penne puttanesca with shrimp, bahamas chicken...), in about 20 minutes and then you're done. All you have to do is stick it in the oven - you can enjoy your pre-dinner time without having to spend it in the kitchen. And the food is so good. Not only do you get to choose from a wide variety of recipes and you can spice it to your taste but it's amazing that you can throw raw pasta in with a bunch of other ingredients and even though you cook it all together, everything turns out perfectly. This is a MUST buy for anyone who enjoys and appreciates good food but has a busy life and not a lot of time to cook. Plus, it's really healthy!!!

Versatile, Easy & Author is Responsive, Feb 24 2006
By C. Snyder - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Glorious One-pot Meals: A New Quick & Healthy Approach to Dutch Oven Cooking (Spiral-bound)
I love the fact that this book introduces a method of cooking so that along with specific recipes you learn how to use your dutch oven in a way that can produce countless variations on the recipes as well as your own creations. This makes it easier to use seasonal produce and whatever you have on hand to make healthy, tasty meals. The author is also very responsive to feedback on her web site www.gloriousonepotmeals.com I have a non-traditional dutch oven and she provided tips for adjusting the recipes to make them work well.
