Summary: Uninteresting recipes, low on taste. Boring. 2008-11-17
Comment: I had such high hopes for this book based on all the positive reviews, but I must join the other 1-star reviewers. Many of the recipes are just variations on each other, and not even interesting ones at that. Often they are under-seasoned. Sometimes the author seems to throw in ingredients that don't belong (the olives in the tamale pie are awful). Also, as mentioned by another reviewer, you generally will use 1 or 2 other pots/pans while prepping recipes. I say keep shopping and try another book.

Summary: Delicious and Easy Recipes in an Outstanding Cookbook 2008-11-06
Comment: I originally took this book out of the library to try out my new slow cooker. Thought I'd find maybe one or two recipes that would be keepers. Well, this is an amazing book. At my last count, there were over 20 recipes that I am eager to try. My first slow cooker meal was the sweet potatoes with a touch of chipotles, which I highly recommend. Although I am a vegan and my husband is a vegetarian, we both agree that meat eaters would not miss animal products in these recipes--they are hearty, creative, and incredibly satisfying. Very economical too. I highly recommend this book to anyone with a slow cooker--in fact, get one so you can try out these recipes. You won't be dissappointed.

Summary: Love this book! 2008-10-15
Comment: I think this is a wonderful book! I had looked for a slow cooker recipe book that was vegetarian and my mom found this one for me. I love the variety of meals offered and also the beverages, breakfast foods, desserts, and so many others. I look forward to fall and winter to pull out the crock pot and the cook book, throw everything in the crock pot before work, and come home to dinner ready for me! I recommend this cook book to any vegetarians looking for some meatless crock pot dinners!

Summary: Yum, Yum and more Yum! 2008-07-29
Comment: This is one of my favorite cookbooks. I love it! I've made so many recipes out of it and all have turned out great. My absolute favorite is the southwest potpie with cornbread crust. We also like the mac and cheese, orange flavored beets, potpie with biscuit crust, and others. If you are interested in, or already like, crockpot cooking then this book is a good find. I really enjoy it and will be on my shelf for years to come.
