5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing take on slow cookery! August 13, 2010
Format:Paperback
The Everything Healthy Slow Cooker Cookbook is a welcome addition to my cookbook library. Other crock-pot cookbooks I've checked out from the library rely on processed foods and many unhealthy ingredients that I wouldn't want to serve my family, but this cookbook emphasizes fresh produce, dairy, and meat products that I can buy in the grocery store. Amazingly, this cookbook has two vegetarian chapters - one vegetarian and one for vegan recipes (no dairy products, eggs, or meat). There are other vegan and vegetarian recipes throughout the book, too - not just in those two chapters. I really appreciate that because we entertain vegan friends and it's great to have something delicious to serve them rather than the same-old pasta they get everywhere.

I've tried five recipes from this book so far and every one of them has been really tasty and so easy. (Great to use the slow cooker in summer when you don't want to overheat your house.) The Hot and Sour soup tasted even better than the soup at our local Chinese take-out place. The Strawberry Pandowdy is a really different dessert idea for my family and tasted so good with vanilla ice cream. The Turkey White Chili is so good that I made it twice already. I brought Baba Ganoush and Creamy Low-Fat Spinach Artichoke Dip to a potluck and both were huge hits, gone in minutes. I am going to give this cookbook and a slow cooker to my friends who are getting married this fall. I am looking forward to using this cookbook again and again. Highly recommended to everyone who has a slow cooker.

The recipes in this cookbook are written very well. Nothing is confusing or misleading -- a more difficult thing to find in a cookbook than you'd think. I have heard of 99% of the ingredients called for and can find almost all of them in a normal grocery store.
Although there are other slow cooker books out there, I took an hour to sit down and compare them all at the bookstore and found that this one matched my style of cooking most closely. I like to buy fresh produce, not canned and frozen vegetables and canned soups. Although I am a pretty good cook, I need someone to give me ideas of which things go together. I think the recipes in The Everything Healthy Slow Cooker Cookbook are inspiring and make me want to try new things. I like that some recipes are comfort food and others are more ambitious and challenging to the bored palate.
Slow cookers are very helpful when you're feeding a crowd, and I found quite a few recipes in this cookbook that will be excellent when having family and friends over for Christmas, birthdays, and the Super Bowl. There are a lot of vegetarian and vegan options, too, which I think is fairly unusual for a cookbook that isn't explicitly billed as veg. But carnivores will also be pleased with the variety of recipes -- there are so many options here.
The bottom line is that this cookbook is for anyone with a slow cooker who wants to eat nutritious food. Beginners and more advanced cooks, herbivores and omnivores, kids and adults will all find something to love in this book. Well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Recipes! October 18, 2010
Format:Paperback
I really like this cookbook. It is so refreshing to read a slow cooker cookbook that isn't constantly calling for cream of mushroom soup! In fact, it doesn't call for it once. These recipes are not only healthy, but they are very creative. They are not your run-of-the-mill slow cooker recipes. I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys using their slow cooker, in fact, I have already bought this as a birthday gift for my sister.
