I use my Slow Cooker more than ever,now (Rating: ) Review : This is a great book! I use it at least once a week. The chicken dishes are very simple & taste great. I really like the fact that many of the dishes call for frozen,boneless skinless chicken breasts(like you buy in the bags at the warehouse clubs).That's right,use them with out thawing! A++++++ (Rating: 5.00) Review : I have really enjoyed this book! My husband likes the recipes, and that's OK with me! Even my kids are eating! I am glad there is a cookbook for the slowcooker that is family-friendly! A lovely, recommended pick (Rating: 5.00) Review : Ashcroft and Eyring's dishes are simply outstanding in their simplicity and originality, offering very simple slow cooker recipes with a minimum of fuss and ingredients. A Lemonade Chicken is made with frozen thawed lemonade for example; a Beef Stroganoff is spiced with cream of mushroom soup, and pork chops are braised in the cooker with bottled barbecue sauce for intense flavors. A lovely, recommended pick. This is healthy cooking??? (Rating: 2.00) Review : I was slightly disappointed with this book as I feel that cooking with a lot of prepackaged foods is neither tasty nor nutritious. Soda and Roast? I'm sure it is probably good but do I really want to ingest it? If you are into fresh creative ingredients my advice is to pass this one up and spend your money on a GREAT slow cooker cookbook that I recently discovered after digging through every slow cooker cookbook at my local bookstore: The 150 Best Slow Cooker Recipes by Judith Finlayson. Terrible for vegetarians (Rating: 2.00) Review : This book should be entitled "101 Things to Do With a Slow Cooker AND MEAT". Even the VEGETABLE soup has a pound of steak in it. So do the Minestrone and Tomato Soup recipes! Most non-vegetarian recipe books have some recipes for non-meat eaters, but this one really has nothing (except the dessert recipes which manage not to have beef thrown into them). The Busy People's Slow Cooker Cookbook has a MUCH better variety of recipes for meat and non-meat eaters. I recommend that book over this one. If it didn't cost more to return this cookbook than to keep it, I'd return it. |
