;My Crockery Bible

Love her crockery books. I made a Scandivian Pot Roast last night with little or no effort. It was delicious. I have enjoyed many recipes from this book and would recomend it to everyone.

Great Tasting Food from a Crock Pot! Really!

"A crock pot is a device for making all foods taste the same, " my brother-in-law announced one night twenty years ago as we were eating dinner-- a rather soupy bland pot roast from a crock pot. That was the death knell for the use of the crock pot in our family (and very nearly for my brother-in-law who was put in charge of cooking dinner indefinitely by his wife after that comment.) I haven't used a crock pot muchsince then, and if I ever did, someone inevitably brought up my brother-in-law's remarks. However, what is one to do if one wants homemade food quickly after a day at work? Luckily I found this book, and it has become one of my favorite cookbooks. Although it was written by Mabel Hoffman , one of the original promoters of crock pot cooking, it is a refreshing departure from the bland, watery creations of the early 80's. One secret is the use of more flavorful, less-predictable ingredients. Another secret is that the water in the recipes is greatly reduced from the olden days. A great bonus for us is that that recipes are all low fat, and still incredibly good tasting. Most recipes are fairly simple, with a reasonable amount of ingredients that can usually be found easily at the local supermarket. I haven't had a failure yet. Since it's a paperback, the price isn't bad either. When you get it, check out the recipe for Creamy Chicken and Leeks. It's now my favorite recipe for company because it's unusual, tasty, and easy to make.

Lots of yummy recipes

I have made many of the recipes in this book and my family has loved them all. I tell everyone about the meatloaf recipe with corn chips in it (I also use the meatloaf recipe to stuff bell peppers). The Navaho Beef and Chile Stew is also a tastey recipe (I add extra bell peppers). Some of the recipes are higher in fat, but you feel more satisfied with less because it tastes so good. This is the best crockpot cookbook I have used so far.

Heathly Crockery Cookery

I've tried several recipes from this cookbook and found them easy and very good...

Best Crockpot cookbook I've ever seen

simple recipes with truly unique combos of spices, veggies, etc. with a strong emphasis on ethnic cuisine. Most recipes take only 10 minutes to make. Perfect for the working woman or man who wants to come home to a tasty dinner but doesn't want to go to the effort or put in the time to make it. Definitely a winner.
