Book Reviews of Slow Cooker Ready & Waiting: 160 Sumptuous Meals That Cook Themselves

Book Review: Slow food, great food!
Summary: 5 Stars

I had purchased this cookbook quite a long time ago. I rediscovered it in a neglected section of my library this past weekend. My typical practice in reading a cookbook is to go through page by page, recipe by recipe, making a list of all the ones I'd like to try. My list for this cookbook was loooong. Made the Parmesan Meatballs on Sunday. I don't usually make my own tomato sauces, I've come to rely on jarred for their ease and predictability. The sauce for this recipe (using a base of canned tomatoes) tasted wonderful. The meatballs were tender and delicious. I'll be making more recipes soon. I'll admit that there is some planning required for these meals but they seem well worth the effort. In these hard economic times my family and I are cutting way back on dinners out and take out. Recipes like these can provide a higher quality meal, giving us a feeling of indulgence, saving money and giving Mom a break! Pair a book like this with a book like "Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day," another recent favorite of mine, and eat like royalty. My thanks to the author.

Summary of Slow Cooker Ready & Waiting: 160 Sumptuous Meals That Cook Themselves

Hearty stews. Rib-sticking chilis. Tender pot roasts. The real secret is a long, slow simmer at a constant temperature, and no appliance does this better than the slow cooker. If your old slow cooker recipes disappointed you, throw them away! The Slow Cooker Ready and Waiting Cookbook is for people who love good food!

Rick Rodgers has adapted an eclectic array of American and ethnic dishes for the slow cooker. They're all here: fancy fare (Farmer's Market Lobster and Corn Chowder, Sweet and Sour Brisket, Erna's Sauerbraten), everyday favorites (Ground Beef Chili with Cornmeal Dumplings and Herbed Tomato Sauce with Parmesan Meatballs), side dishes (Potatoes Euphoria, Smothered Green Beans, Sugarbush Beans) -- even desserts (Strawberry-Strawberry Cheesecake, Bourbon Bread Pudding, and Lemon-Raspberry Pudding Cake). Ideal for entertaining, the slow cooker keeps crowd-pleasing dips and holiday punches warm from the beginning of the party to when the last guest leaves.

A special section explains how to choose the right-size slow cooker for your needs, how to adapt a favorite recipe, and what can (and can't) be prepared in a slow cooker.
