This is a pretty nice looking and usable cookbook. It’s full of good tips and hints for getting the most from your slow cooker, nutritional values are provided for all recipes, and the index includes all the terms I’m likely to look for as well as plenty of cross-references.

Most recipes come with an “Add It!” entry listing additional ingredients and it’s the extended versions I used for all three dishes I made from this book. The first recipe I tried, the extended version of “Tuna Casserole,” came out really well. It was everything a tuna noodle casserole should be, but in a slow cooker -- rich, creamy, and flavorful with perfectly cooked noodles. Excellent.

Unfortunately, the other two recipes ("Savory Turkey and Rice" and "Ravioli Stew") I tried were not so good and put me off trying any other dishes from this book :(… (más)
