5.0 out of 5 stars Offers mouth-watering southwestern flavors, November 11, 2004

This review is from: Southwest Slow Cooking (Paperback)

Southwest Slow Cooking is an enjoyable recipe book featuring dishes meant to be slowly brought to fruitition. Each one proffers mouth-watering southwestern flavors, from Hot Artichoke Dip to Rosemary Chicken to Chile Relleno Casserole and more. Each recipe is concisely presented in a half-page or single-page, and many are illustrated in full color. Tips, tricks, and techniques such as using cheese and jicama to balance the heat when eating barbecue pork as a sandwich, also abound.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best!!!, January 6, 2006

This review is from: Southwest Slow Cooking (Paperback)

Prior to this cookbook, the slow cooker recipes that I had tried were blah and nearly indigestible. I first bought this book at Kartchner Caverns, Arizona. Every recipe (over 12) in this cookbook that I have tried has been excellent. The meals have wonderfully spicy seasoning, and they turn out the first time without needing modification. The book that I bought on Amazon was for a friend. I highly recommend this cookbook.

This is a great cookbook. Almost every recipe I have tried has been terrific. The authors are very good at combining spices. I also appreciate the fact that the recipes have been adapted to be as healthy as possible. For example, they give hints on how to roll enchiladas without frying the tortillas first. All your favorite Mexican recipes are here, adapted to the slow cooker, as well as some new ones. The authors visited a cooking school in Mexico, and it shows!
