Book Reviews of Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two (NYM Series)
Book Review: A great cookbook for working folks who like to cook in small amounts!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this cookbook because I was tired of cooking enough food to feed an army and because I liked the idea of a meal cooking while I'm at work. So far, I've tried at least half the recipes and have liked all of them. At first I was halfing even the recipes in this book (I really, really was tired of leftovers) but discovered that the whole recipe was just a couple of meals or a dinner and a lunch. Even the meatloaf which seems like it might make a lot is still manageable for one or two people and a sandwich or two. It really is much smaller than the traditional meat loafs in traditional cookbooks. I select recipes that require longer cooking times during the week while at work and choose the shorter cooking recipes for weekends when I'm more available so I like the fact she included both time frames. I own the 1.5 and 3 qt. crock pots and use both. It is such a pleasure to come home to a hot meal.
I enjoy good food and love to cook so I have a well stocked pantry. When I want to try a recipe and don't have an ingredient I just add it to my next shopping list. After cooking for a long time however, I have learned that it is possible to make substitutions. For instance regular bacon can be substituted for pancetta. The taste will be different but not unpleasantly different. Pancetta, once bought, can be divided and frozen for future use. Regular ole yellow onion can be used instead of other onion, but again, the taste will be different. For some recipes, Ms. Hensberger offers alternatives to the original. All instructions are clear and useful. Some of my favorites from this cookbook are BBQ pulled chicken, the lamb shanks, the meatloaf, the spaghetti sauce (I don't always have white wine so I substitute dry vermouth, yummmm), the chicken/dumplings, several of the chili recipes are good, the beans and sausage, skirt steak which I'd never had before, the ribs are wonderful as are all the soups I've tried. Well, actually, I'm back to having tried at least half the recipes and liked all of them. I love this cookbook and use it 2 to 4 times a week. Good job, Beth Hensberger.
