Book Reviews of The Healthy Slow Cooker
Book Review: I love this cookbook!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a fairly health-food conscious person, and when my sister purchased this cookbook, I glanced through the recipes, and was intrigued by the wide variety of recipes, each with nutritional information and educational tidbits about healthy eating. I bought the cookbook for myself, have tried several of the recipes, and have thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. The dishes were very flavorful, fairly easy to make, and the ingredients were easy to find and low cost. There are recipes ranging from breakfast to dessert, with great pictures for most of the dishes. I'm thrilled that I bought this cookbook, and am sure I'll be using it often!Book Review: Healthy Cooking Made Easy
Summary: 5 Stars
I studiously avoided learning to cook for 50+ years but a friend who's very health conscious recommended trying a slow cooker. This cookbook gave me the additional boost I needed. Finlayson is very knowledgeable about nutrition, and somehow manages to make it interesting to read about. Plus, she gives tips on what to prepare the night before, so you can set up the crock pot in the morning, turn it on, and have a great meal by the time you get home. I love the Thai Pumpkin Soup, which has become a favorite in our household. If you're trying WeightWatchers point system, this has an abundance of good recipes.Book Review: Delicious, healthy food for working families
Summary: 5 Stars
This cookbook asks you to brown the meat and veggies ahead of time. This makes a tremendous difference in the taste. No gray, mushy meat here. I do the prep work the evening before (usually less than a 1/2 hour) then set it to cook in the morning. OK, yes, I do put it in the 'frig over night. I find I prefer to cut the time by one to two hours from the one Ms. Findlayson recommends.
I also like the nutrition information provided for each recipe.
My college bound son asked for this cookbook and a crockpot of his own. That's as high praise as I know of.
Book Review: I like this book alot
Summary: 5 Stars
I hate to cook, and I love this book. I get home at 8 or 9 PM on some nights. So this is great for those nights that my husband gets home first. If I don't use this, we end up with pizza or Chinese food or starving. So it's a better option than those. It's not as much prep as people complain about. I figure, it's 30-minute meals, but you do the work up front. And it's ready when you come home. How much do you LOVE that?! I've been able to substitute for things that seem difficult to do, and things come out well. I'd say it's a good investment.Book Review: Great Cookbook
Summary: 5 Stars
A healthier life style calls for healthy eating...and starting and maintaining a healthy life style isn't always easy...neither is healthy eating. Diets have changed and so has slow cooking. Be ready to change temps, add ingredients along the way...not to just throw things in and walk off. But it's still much better than thinking up what to cook in the evenings and standing at the stove!
