Book Reviews of Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two: For the Small Slow Cooker
Book Review: A little testing couldn't hurt ...
Summary: 2 Stars
This book caught my eye with what seemed to be innovative recipes. That is, until I actually tried some. I gave the author the benefit of my doubts regarding the use of items that normally one wouldn't consider slow-cooking - like pork tenderloin. Until I cooked her pork tenderloin with rhubarb recipe, I didn't know it was possible to create shoe leather from tenderloin. My family has expressly forbidden me to try anything else from the book. I have only myself to blame. I was so taken in by the rhurbarb sauce that I overlooked her nonsensical suggestion of 6-7 hours of slow cooking for a tenderloin. Believe me, one thing it wasn't was "fork-tender."
This book is just another blaring example of the flood of cookbooks out there with recipes that haven't been tested. Don't encourage these authors by buying their books. If you want a good cookbook for the slow-cooker, it's tough to beat any of Mable Hoffman's. Just because they ARE your mother's slow-cooker recipes, doesn't make them bad or boring.
