One of the things I loved about this book was that you didn't have to spend a lot of extra money on spices that you'll use one time. The author was brilliant to incorporate ready-made items that you can use for a recipe.. then use the remainder for something else. The book itself is laid out well which makes it easy to read. The only drawback would the spiral plastic spine. Those never do last very long without them coming partially undone.

Lots of recipe variety, minimum effort. Delicious meat and vegetarian options. I leave the slow cooker on while sleeping at night or during the day while I am at work.

There are a lot of flavorful-sounding recipes in this book, and it goes far beyond the standard roast fare that makes up the bulk of so many other slow cooker recipe books. However, I was a little disappointed to see how many of the recipes called for prepared foods, such as jars of pesto, pasta sauce, salad dressing, and flavored cream cheeses. "Simple" cooking shouldn't mean that you use as many prepared, chemically-laden ingredients as possible.
