3.0 out of 5 stars Clay pot cookery obtuse, June 20, 2001

By	Charles R. Missing (Rio Rancho, NM USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I ordered this book, I had hoped to find some basic, practical recipies. Instead, many of the recipies are based on ingredients that might do for special occasions, but not for everyday family dining on a modest budget. For instance, the author seems only to like "boneless, skinless" chicken breasts; I find that these "supremes" do not hold up well cooked this way - too dry. It's almost as if she is attempting to devise recepies that cater to the health- concious fanatics and yet produce an entree with a bit of flavor left! I tried the one whole-chicken suggestion, but found the anise had lost most of it's flavor by the time the bird was done. What a pity. Perhaps I'll do my own book-"Basic Meals in a Clay Pot"

4.0 out of 5 stars At least one Family Favorite Recipe!, September 25, 2005

By	L. Phelan (Cape Cod) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Easy Turkey Meatballs, page 58. I serve it over egg noodles mixed with peas. Everyone loves it! My claypot broke after more than 10 years of use, and I have a new one on the way. My son has been asking me "when are you going to make the turkey meatballs?" quite often, so it's on tap to make as soon as the new claypot arrives. I will be trying some of the stews and soups this fall.
