4.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should own this book AND a Slow Cooker! August 29, 2012

The Faerys View:

I have 3 slow cookers in varying sizes and I've used them for the standard items such as Corn Beef with Cabbage,potato's and carrots and certain cuts of roasts, etc...I like to use my slow cooker(s) for a lot of reasons - The meat comes out so tender, the flavors are infused with which ever herbs and/or spices that are called for in the recipe, knowing that dinner is already done before breakfast has even started and the aroma that fills the house throughout the day. As an RN working 12 hours shifts, I really learned to appreciate the art of slow cooking but never really found a recipe book that was easy to follow yet had fantastic recipes until Slow Cooker 101.

Slow Cooker 101 gave me a lot of really great recipes that were easy to prepare but seemed like I slaved over them (TeeHee - I never correct anyone either :o] )

The really cool thing is that in the beginning of the book it goes through the basics such as all the different herbs, seasonings and flavorings along with common cooking terms, general cooking tips and a basic ingredient list for slow cooking.

With Slow Cooker 101 I found so many unique yet simple recipes that my family loved. The recipes were easy to follow, as were the instructions. There are recipes in Slow Cooker 101 that will be passed down through the generations in my family.

Some of our favorites are Braised Short Ribs, Pork, Artichoke and White Bean Stew and Indonesian Chicken with Zucchini and that's just to name a few.
Oh, I don't want to forget the Ultimate Mac 'n' Cheese!

The Faery says that Slow Cooker 101 sets her wings a' flutter!

4.0 out of 5 stars Impressive August 28, 2012

Never realized how many slow cooker recipes there were out there! I remember when my parents used to make food in a slow cooker, and I thought it was so old school but I decided to familiarize myself with one again. I bought one because I felt it would help me save money, and as a college student that is always beneficial. This is truly a wonderful and useful recipe book.

What I really appreciated was the variety. Now there are some definite fancy-smancy recipes that I probably will not be trying out any time soon (hello seafood entrees and anything wine-braised), but there are ones that I will be able to tackle. There are many that I was surprised to see, and I genuinely appreciated the inclusion of ethnic recipes.

Great book, and I can't wait to try some of these out.

I got this as a Kindle download and I have to say it was free which was my initial interest but it turns out its a good book. CrockPot cooking is great for me, I set it all up in the morning before work and have a great meal when i get home.
