My favored crock-pot cookbook ever
By M. Garrison
For me, this cookbook had the perfective mix of oldtime favorites and new dishes, clear and helpful instructions, plus great pictures that gave me a good idea of what I was supposed to be aiming for.

I'd unquestionably commend this cookbook to anybody in a circumstance similar to where I was -- I just never seemed to have the time or the goodnatured tolerance for regular cooking, but still wanted to make nice meals. On the other hand, I don't know that this would be the best fit for say, a college student giving crock-pot cooking a try -- the dishes may be more elaborate or use more highpriced ingredients than they're looking at.

tall skinny book difficult to use; disappointing
By H. Boehning
I ought to have read the description more closely. It is 96 pages including index, etc. It is taller than Joy of Cooking but as skinny as the free blooklet you get when you buy a slow cooker, making it difficult to handle. The recipies look OK, not one thing caught my fancy, but this book was NOT worth the cash to buy. I have the Better Homes and Garden crocery cooker book and it is great. Perhaps as a primary book it would be OK.

It's okay
By Materfamilias
Most of the recipes are gorgeous good and at least worth trying. It provided nutrition selective information and nice substitution suggestions for each recipe, along with a section on meatless meals. I have found that everything seems to overcook for me, altho I am not sure if that is a crock pot problem or not, nonetheless most of the things I have made taste finelooking good. Just be warned, NOTHING will come out looking as good as it does in the pictures, and there are gorgeous pictures for each recipe in this book, but experience tells me that meats, particularly poultry, just doesn't come out like they show, and neither do vegetables; that is just the nature of slow cooking.

All in all, a great beginner's book, good data at the beginning in regards to crock pot cooking, but I am ready to move on.
