About the Author

Cyndi Duncan and Georgie Patrick started writing cookbooks seventeen years ago. With busy lifestyle and family members that have varying schedules, writing their "One Foot in the Kitchen" cookbook series was a natural decision. Each title in the series – Quick Crockery Cooking, Quick Mexican Cooking, Quick Soups 'n Salads, Quick Hors d'oeuvres, Quick Desserts and Quick Lunches & Brunches – is winner of the distinguished Evvy Award presented by the Colorado Independent Publishers Association.

Cyndi and Georgie differ in their opinion of what makes a quick meal. Cyndi is a "from scratch" cook who cooks ahead and freezes, creates meals from leftovers and uses fresh produce from her garden. Georgie, on the other hand, often creates delectable meals with items chosen from the deli case and convenient, prepared foods from the grocery store. Both readily admit to learning from the other's cooking methods and are committed to writing usable cookbooks for cooks at any skill level.

Georgie graduated from Colorado State University with a teaching endorsement in language arts and history; Cyndi graduated from Colorado State University with a Home Economics degree. They both are married to engineers and live in Greeley, Colorado; they each have three children and a mother that cooks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick, home-style, and tasty, September 6, 2000

This review is from: Quick Crockery Cooking: A One Foot in the Kitchen Cookbook (One Foot in the Kitchen Cookbooks) (One Foot in the Kitchen Cookbooks) (Paperback)

I was looking for a crock pot cookbook. Most that I have looked at are filled with recipes that I would never fix. My family and I like home-style meals with ingredients that we already have around the house or would normally purchase at the store. Quick Crockery Cooking met both of those demands. This book was filled with great recipes that could be fixed in a short amount of time and then ready at the end of the day when I am too tired to fix something for dinner. It seems anything you cook in a crockpot comes out tasting great. I would definately recommend this book to anyone looking for a crockery cookbook. I first checked it out at our local library and now I am adding it to my wish list.

I checked this book out of the library and tried three of the recipes. All three turned out great. Not gourmet cooking--but healthy, tasty meals using simple ingredients that adults and children will both enjoy. I plan to purchase this cookbook.
