Complete Slow Cooker Cookbook

By Carol Heding Munson

Book Overview

When you come home after a long day at work, wouldn't you just love to have a delicious, healthy dinner ready and waiting? You can--with these easy recipes that simply involve tossing vegetables, meat, or fish into a slow cooker in the morning and letting them simmer into a robust stew, light soup, or pasta sauce. Not only do these meals require minimal preparation time, but each has an incredible marriage of flavors that merely require lengthy cooking. (They're low in fat and sodium, too!) You'll get simple instructions on how the equipment works, so you'll feel like a real chef as you whip up such mouthwatering temptations as Grecian Beef Stew, Winter Vegetables with Cheddar and Croutons, Italian Tomato Soup, Twice-Cooked Almond Potatoes, Banana-Almond-Maple Custard, and many more yummy dishes.

Customer Reviews

Lots of good recipes!

I am a new crockpot owner and I found this book to be very very helpful. There are a vast array of recipes for even the most discriminating tastes including some dessert recipes. The only qualm that I have is that the book only has two settings for cooking, low and high. If you are one of those who do not have a crockpot with either settings(i.e. if there are actual temperature settings, like 350 degrees), then you will have to make adjustments or look up conversions to make sure your food doesn't burn! All around good basic cookbook though!

An Excellent Cookbook

I borrowed this book from a friend and loved it. I totally disagree with a previous reviewer who said these meals were involved, contained ingredients that were hard to find and not very appetising. I stay at home with two very young children (both under 4), so trying to do anything complicated in the kitchen is out of the question. Thank God for crock pots. So far I have made the Meatball/Bow Tie Pasta soup, the Chicken Stroganoff, the Chicken Casserole with Swiss Cheese and the Cheese Tortellini soup and they have all been hits. Based on how well I liked this book, I'm going to buy Munson's pressure cooker cookbook.

Sophisticated easy recipes!

I really like this slow cooker cookbook. It's easy and has a variety of recipes that are healthy and low in fat. Nutritional analysis is provided for each recipe. There are a lot of creative recipes, not just your usual slow cooker fare. There are also a lot of beautiful photographs. This book is better than a lot of other slow cooker books I've seen. I'm sure there is something for everyone in this book!
