The Better Homes and Gardens' "Biggest Book of Slow Cooker Recipes Vol. 2" (pub. 2006) is a kitchen necessity. A sequel to the equally valuable and wonderful Better Homes and Gardens' slow cooker recipes first edition (pub. 2002), this second edition takes off with a whole new variety of organized and straight forward delectable recipes, to satisfy most pallets. It includes hints, tips, and special instructions from food professionals, as well as two bonus chapters of 'light' dishes and '5-ingredient' dishes. All recipes have instructions for multiple slow cooker sizes, as well as for dinner for two.
Bon-appetite!

4.0 out of 5 stars Flavorful (and some ethnic) slow cooker recipes, December 28, 2006

This review is from: Biggest Book of Slow Cooker Recipes, Vol. 2 (Better Homes and Gardens Cooking) (Plastic Comb)

First of all, let me say, I love to cook with my crock pot!! I can prepare heathful meals without the last-minute fuss. What a wonderful invention!

Having said that,one of the disappointments I have found with many slow cooker cook books is that the recipes tend to be bland. When I ran across this book, I was excited to see the variety of recipes. While I wouldn't say that my family has liked every recipe in this book 100%, they have given most recipes that I have prepared the "thumbs up" to fix again and I, personally, have found the recipes to be more flavorful than some of the other slow cooker cook books which I own.

If you are looking for recipes that have a more ethnic flavor or more spice, this is your book. There are such things as a Tandoori Chicken or a Carribean Fish Stew, but they aren't all this hot. The ingrediants are readily available and the instructions are clear. If you are looking for some slow cooker recipes that are a little more off the traditional beaten crock pot path, I would definitely recommend this book.

I received this as a gift purchased with the version 1 of this book. The books don't actually contain different recipes. There are mostly the same recipes of the first with a couple of additional chapters. I recommend buying this book if you don't have the first one, or if you like the first one and are getting a gift for someone else. It is unnecessary to own both version one and version two, however.
