Product Description

People love the convenience of their slow cookers. What could be better than walking in the door after a hard day's work to the smell of beef stew, ready and waiting? A beef stew that only requires three ingredients, that's what!

The problem with most slow cooker recipes is that they require lots of ingredients and steps before you actually "fix it and forget it." Not this book-these are truly simple recipes, and best of all, they are memorable, not mushy!

You'll find recipes like:
*Rosemary Lamb Stew
*Chicken Curry
*Three-Alarm Chili
*Spicy Pot Roast with Onions
*Coq au Vin
*Pork Roast with 40 Cloves of Garlic

Plus, you'll find recipes for desserts like cheesecake and custard and appetizers like chicken wings and artichoke dip!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for pot roasts!, January 17, 2006

By	Marcia Hansen (Columbia, MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was pleasantly surprised by this cookbook. I was one of those people who thought slow cookers were just for pot roasts. Not so. In addition to main entrees, Bonet includes recipes for beverages, breakfasts, and desserts. I never would have thought to try some of the foods she suggests in my slow cooker. For example, I tried the Breakfast Casserole and it turned out great! Plus, I enjoyed not having to cook breakfast in the morning. It was nice to have it ready and waiting for me when I got up.

I've also tried the Peachy Chicken and it was good too. Next on my list are the recipes for Santa Fe Chicken and Acorn Squash. I'm glad I have this cookbook. I think I'm really going to save some time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a Cook and I like this Book, January 4, 2006

By	Pamela A. Treme - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I received this book as a gift. I'm not a cook; therefore, people buy books like this for me. This particular one is quite useful. The first few sections have short but to the point information about cooking with a slow cooker. My sister-in-law and I tried the Santa Fe Black Bean recipe with mild salsa, and it had a nice balanced flavor. We were both reading the recipes and many look easy and sound like good eating. Ms. Bonet adds lots of notes with extra suggestions at the bottom to dress up the food. I've ended up ordering 4 copies of this book--one for my sister-in-law. Ms. Bonet did a nice job with this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Deceptive Title, January 15, 2008

By	Conspicuous Consumer (Virginia) - See all my reviews

I bought this book for my elderly father, who is just learning to cook for himself. He has been able to make some of the recipes, and they have turned out well. But many of them have frustrated him because either the recipe calls for obscure items not easily available in the grocery store, or because one of the "three" items is really a compilation of items that the author gave the recipe for in the beginning of the book and expects you to have already prepared that in advance to be used in a number of recipes throughout the book. So many of the recipes in fact have more than "three" ingredients. Also, there are many "fringe" recipes that may interest some, but won't interest people looking to make basic entrees.
