very good book

I'm French and it's hard to find slow cooker recipes books here. This one is great I love it! The recipes are easy to do and I can find everything is needing here in France.

A keeper

Simple, straight forward recipes with good, useful advise and tips. Every recipe I have made so far was right on.

great book, the series is great

this is a great series. i love it because they do not use "a can of soup" for the flavoring. and the recipes are not so bland that one is hardly motivated to cook at home and stay away from the fast food. i love these recipes because you can plan them out and leave them to cook. i have looked at literally a hundred "crock pot" books, and this series the the best.

AWESOME

My GF and I tried 2 other cookbooks with bland results. We happened upon this book and decided it was going to be our last attempt with a slow cooker if the results werent ok. The first thing we tried was the Family Style Winter Tomato Sauce. It was the best Marinara type sauce I have ever had! We loved it so much we made it a month later as well before trying something else. Next we tried the Coconut Mango Chicken, and that too was unbelievable! Some friends didnt believe it wasnt carryout when they tried it. Some have more prep work that others, but, none seem too difficult. This book is well worth the investment, especially used.

Gourmet crockpot recipes - NOT an oxymoron!

I was in the typical - meat, can of soup - maybe some wine, veggies ..mode of crockpot cooking. The food usually came out 'ok', but not rave material. I was amazed at the variations offered in this book. It's just like cooking a gourmet meal, but p.s. you put it in the crockpot. And trust me - you won't use the recipes just for entertaining - they are too good not to use everyday. The recipes were so inspiring, I even justified splurging on a new crockpot.
