Book Reviews of Fix-it And Forget-it Recipes For Entertaining
Book Review: No-nonsense, crock-pot recipes (details)
Summary: 3 Stars
If you love your crock pot, this cookbook will clearly benefit you.
Here's the focus of the book:
1. Crock pot recipes
2. No fuss
3. Common ingredients
While these are not what I'd term "terrific" recipes, they're still pretty solid and will yield supper for your family with no major complaints. I cook from scratch every day and, having borrowed this book from the local library, I found a few recipes in here which I liked.
Here's another feature of the cookbook that I found particularly helpful: there are multiple recipes for the same dish, chili for example -- there are about 20 chili recipes to choose from in here. You'll find that this feature holds true for many of the more common crock pot dishes herein.
On the other hand, be aware that this is a "collection" of recipes from folks all over the country so, in that regard, it's much like one of these local fundraiser cookbooks, only focused on Slow Cooker recipes, and drawing upon a much larger and more diverse source group. As a consequence, there's no way of gauging the quality of these recipes in advance, short of preparing it yourself. For me, I prefer to know ahead of time that I'm already working with a proven, top recipe.
This is the chief shortcoming of a cookbook like this one -- it's just easier for me to go online to a site like Allrecipes or Recipezaar, where others have already tested and rated the recipe for me, to achieve a dish of the highest quality. And of course, THOSE recipes are all free. This practice also eliminates a mountain of cookbooks atop my refrigerator.
In the end, if you're a cookbook person, a crock-pot person, and you additionally know how to modify a good basic recipe to suit your own tastes, this cookbook will likely work for you. There are 580 recipes in all (284 pages with a nice index) so clearly, you'll find something inside which suits your fancy.
