5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Slow Cooker Cookbook, September 4, 2007

I am a cooking/food writer, and I love to read cookbooks. Yes. I really do read them as well as use them.

This is the best crock pot cookbook I've ever owned. These are real recipes for real people. There are old favorites (but with helpful tips) as well as new dishes that still don't require multiple trips to the grocery store and hours stirring and doing other things to the crock pot that make it more bother than help.

Donna-Marie covers everything from making roasted nuts in the crock pot to cheese cake. Her directions and details are excellent, so it's really hard to mess up one of her dishes.

As the title suggests, there are 300 recipes here. It's not just the same thing over and over either. I made the cheese potatoes last night. Excellent. This book will keep me busy for a long time. I marked pages of ones that I can't wait to try. All the ones I have tried were fabulous.

I have a bunch of crock pot cookbooks, but this one is, by far, the best.

I am a cook book junkie and this one is high on my list. Great recipes! It has been in my kitchen being actively used since I got it. I would have given it a 5 star rating if it had a few more pictures but other than that definitely one worth buying!
