Book Reviews of Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook

Book Review: Good ideas; bad execution
Summary: 2 Stars

I appreciate this book for getting me using a slow cooker for the first time and giving me a lot of ideas. A few recipes have become regulars in our kitchen. A number of recipes are poorly conceived and executed, such as the mac and cheese or really any of the pasta recipes.

BE AWARE: EVERY SINGLE RECIPE that I've tried from this book has twice the amount of liquid required. I have had to ladle out and reduce on the stove, ladle out and separately cook with more rice, etc., add tomato paste, throw away liquid, etc., etc. from nearly every recipe. Just start by using half the liquid for any recipe. If it says to "add stock" and the pot already seems to have a fair amount of liquid, then DON"T ADD IT. I feel as though either the authors have a leaky slow cooker or they haven't really tested these recipes.
