From Booklist

One-subject cookbooks may dwell on a single cooking method as well as on a single dish. Donna-Marie Pye revels in the convenience and utility of the slow cooker, better known to some as the Crock Pot. Time-pressed cooks yearning for soups, stews, and similar braised dishes find the slow cooker a boon, since the four to eight hours required for cooking may often be accomplished while everyone is at work or school. America's Best Slow Cooker Recipes emphasizes low-fat cooking by substituting chicken and turkey for fattier meats. Thus, meat loaf brims with ground turkey, and shepherd's pie tops ground chicken and vegetables with pureed squash in place of traditional leftover lamb and mashed potatoes. More complicated dishes on the order of Pye's vegetable pastitsio require some preparation on a standard stovetop. Mark Knoblauch

4.0 out of 5 stars A pretty good book, January 5, 2008

This review is from: More of America's Best Bread Machine Baking Recipes (Paperback)

I enjoyed this book, but, sadly, it wasn't "the one" for my needs. I was a bit dismayed at the number of ingredients (or more unusual ones, such as spelt) required for some of the recipes as well as the number of recipes calling for oven use. To be fair, glossaries for equipment, ingredients, and techniques are in the back, so they can be handled. The tips and variations are located most usefully in the margin, for easy reference. I was overjoyed to find a few recipes that aren't traditional bread, such as raspberry cheesecake, and I would've preferred more. A recipe for REAL spoonbread, rather than the "mock" one on p. 33 would've been most welcome too.
