Book Reviews of Crockery Cookbook/over 120 Delicious Recipes for Your Crock-Pot Slow Cooker (Sunset Cookery Books)Book Review: Very good cookbok for Whole Foods Summary: 4 StarsI am someone who prefers to cook with whole foods and all natural ingredients. I never want to use pre-mixed items like cream-of-anything soup, salad dressing or taco mixes, so I was happy that all the recipes in this book rely on fresh ingredients. I have a well stocked kitchen (with many spices) so I admit, that has helped with some of the more elaborate dishes. Overall, all the recipes I have tried so far have been flavorful, though in some cases I choose to add additional salt, pepper or other spices, but that is a matter of preference. I think this is a great book with a wide variety of dishes. It is worth a try if you hate store bought mixes and "recipes" that rely on pre-mixed condiments for flavor.
Book Review: Recipes Did Not Sell Me Summary: 1 StarsI was not happy with this book. The recipes they provided were not recipes you would use on an everyday basis. In my mind, I was looking for rib, roast, and chile recipes. I found myself just thumbing through the book with no desire to cook anything in there. I believe there are better books out there. Save your money.
Book Review: Picky eater Summary: 2 StarsI'm sure this book may be helpful for some people, but I was looking for more simple recipes for a very picky eater. Things that had more pasta, ground meat, etc. There are things in some of these recipes that I don't even know what they are or where to get them,and I'm sure my son wouldn't eat. Also some of the prep time was quite long, I want things I can put in there and forget it. If I spend 45 minutes preparing a meal, I shouldn't have to wait 2 or more hours on the slow cooker to finish it.
Book Review: Love my Crockpot, this book helps me use it! Summary: 5 StarsI love my crockpot. I use it all the time. It is so easy to have a complete meal on the table. Cheaper cuts of meat come out tasting great, no hot ovens and stove tops for little fingers to get burned on, easy to use, and good results. This book is a great resource for Crockpot cooking. The recipes turn out great. Almost everything is easy to make and there are not any unusual or exotic ingredients called for in the meals. There are a few good crockpot recipe books available that are still in print. This is one that I am glad I have on my shelves.
Book Review: It was OK Summary: 2 StarsWhen I ordered this cookbook I was not expecting what I recieved. I wanted a book that had meals that used mostly what I had on hand. I wanted guidance on how to cook in a crock pot basic meals. I have made a few recipes in this book and they were ok, nothing outstanding. Most of the recipes I would not make. Hope this is helpful.
