5.0 out of 5 stars Slow Cooking Heaven! May 7, 2012

By Just Another Reviewer

Format:Paperback

If you love your crock pot as much as I do, or want to learn how to use a crock pot, you want to grab this book. Starting with the basics, the author walks you through the art of slow cooking. There's a section that lists the basic staples for crock pot cooking, health tips as well as tips on picking the right slow cooker for you.

The thing I love most about this book are the simple recipes. The ingredients are items I keep in my pantry for the most part so there's no hunting in the aisles for essence of muskrat or something bizarre like that. One thing I noticed in the cookbook that I hadn't thought of trying is baked desserts. You can bet I'll be trying a few of those recipes.

Recommended for beginning to moderate slow cooker chefs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Slow Cooker Book! July 4, 2012

By Florida Chef

Format:Kindle Edition

I received a free review copy of C Elias' book, The Best Slow Cooker Recipes & Meals Cookbook

I love this book! It was extremely well organized into intuitive, easy-to-navigate sections. The directions are easy to follow. Well written.

My favorite quality of this book was the wide array of recipes that were included. There's a recipe that will work for any point in time, no matter what's in my refrigerator and pantry! There were lots of vegetarian-friendly slow cooker recipes and even a bunch of dessert recipes. I never thought to make desserts in a slow cooker! Genius! I can't wait to try those!

I definitely recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Respecting Health and Time: Recipe for a Happy New Year January 8, 2013

By Grady Harp HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

C Elias has added a new dimension to her expertise on helping us to assuage the problem of consuming food that instead of enhancing our well-being, expands our waistline. While many people see eating healthy foods and meals is costly and time consuming and just too much bother when fast foods are readily available in market freezers or in the driver-thru chains, the way Elias goes about informing us of better alternatives is so down to earth honest and straightforward that it is difficult not to collect all her fine books.

This book is not only a solid winner as far as how it is put together - it also happens to contain some of the most delicious variations on slow pot cooking you'll find. To begin, she discusses the advantages of the slow cooker (yes, that is the generic name for those appliances that most of us call Crock Pots!): some are obvious, such as the fact that they save energy of the sort that runs our house as well as the sort that fuels our bodies, that nutritious, healthy and varying meals can be easily assembled in that morning and provide full course meals hot and ready to serve at the end of the day's work. Elias offers tips for using the slow cooker, how to shop for one, the ingredients most suitable for creating meals, planning meals around what your slow cooker can produce, and then come the RECIPES!...

There is a section on Slow Cooker Chicken (Sweet Chick Squash, Mediterranean Style Chicken etc), Slow Cooker beans (various soups, Chick and Baked Beans, Black Eyed Pea Stew, etc), Slow Cooker Beef (All Day Beef Stew, Spicy Pepper Fajitas, Carrot, Potato and Beef Pot Roast, Spiced Beef and Cabbage Casserole, etc), Slow Cooker Vegetables (Quick-Prep Seasoned Caponata, Slow-Cooked Artichoke Dish, Veggie Lover's Curry and Veggie Lover's Pasta, etc), Slow Cooker Miscellaneous (get ready for Slow Cooker Banana Bread, Slow Cooker Swiss Fondue, Granola and Apple Cinnamon Casserole, etc), Slow Cooker Fish (try the Orange-Lemon Seasoned Fish), and Slow Cooker Deserts (Classic Cranapple Crisp, Honey and Apple Cinnamon Granola Cobbler, etc).

Elias' recipes are excellent in the way they align ingredients with what is best or feasible for the Slow Cooker and her directions for preparation are excellent. Give this a try and keep it around the kitchen for wholesome, fast, and delicious meals. Grady Harp, January 13 Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book But Needs Photos February 8, 2013

By Thomas E. Bennett

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

There are some great recipes in this book but I think I have become spoiled. In this digital age, it is almost inexcusable to not include photographs. There is a great photo on the cover so why not some inside? This bitch aside the book has some terrific recipes that I plan to enjoy. The beginning even helps you plan on what type of slow cooker to get. Pick your cooker, recipe and get set to enjoy some delicious meals.

This is an amazing recipe book as the recipes usually consist of things you already have in your cabinet and no need to go out to get something you may not use in the future.
