1.0 out of 5 stars Cookbook is full of too many unusual recipes..., May 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Extra Special Crockery Pot Recipes: Time Saving Meals for the Gourmet Appetite (Nitty Gritty Cookbooks) (Paperback)

I have several crockpot cookbooks, and this one is my least favorite of all. Most of the recipes are very unusual, and they are no where close to being easy, common recipes that the average cook would like to cook in her/his crockpot. If you like cooking unusual dishes, and you enjoy using your crockpot, then buy this cookbook. But if you're looking for a crockpot cookbook with great, common, family-type recipes, then pass this cookbook by.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent reference, March 28, 2001

This review is from: Extra Special Crockery Pot Recipes: Time Saving Meals for the Gourmet Appetite (Nitty Gritty Cookbooks) (Paperback)

This cookbook has some simple standard crockpot recipes, but the really good part about the book is that it has a variety of recipes beyond pot roast and stewed chicken. There's a WONDERFUL turkey breast recipe and several recipes for lamb, all of which are great. If you're looking for recipes you can serve guests, or a bored husband, this is your book.

5.0 out of 5 stars For sophisticated cooks who like to cook, September 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Extra Special Crockery Pot Recipes: Time Saving Meals for the Gourmet Appetite (Nitty Gritty Cookbooks) (Paperback)

This book is an outstanding crock pot cookbook for people who like to cook and try new things. Not for people who like standard meat and potato dishes, and who don't like to cook and want to just throw everything in the pot and forget about it.
The recipes are very easy and tasty. Great cook book for company fare since the recipes are so different. I love this book!!!
