The Best.. Literally

I am a huge fan of "The Best Recipe" cookbooks. I have the basic one, the light one, the 30 minute meals one, and now the slow and easy recipes. My husband bought me a French oven for Christmas along with this cookbook, and I've used this cookbook every week since. First of all, you know these recipes are good. They've tested them so much, practically nothing can go wrong.. It's the only cookbook series I can completely trust to have a good recipe. Second, this cookbook explores the different kinds of slow cooking.. like ovens, Dutch/French ovens, roasting, crockpots, etc. Thirds, every single recipe I've made so far has been delicious and has earned me the respect and admiration of friends for my "cooking skills". All you need is the right cookbook! Yes, there is some recipe overlap with the other cookbooks, but the slowcooker section is worth it alone. The crockpot beef and barley soup, as well as the slowcooker pot roast are fabulous. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a dutch/french oven or crockpot!

Best Cookbook Ever

I watch Cook's Country (formerly America's Test Kitchen) every Saturday on PBS, and I love this cookbook! As a beginner-level cook, I love the detailed, specific instructions. If you want to know how to cook the best beef, chicken, turkey, pork, or even LAMB, try this cookbook. They even explain exactly what cuts work best for each recipe. You won't be disappointed.

Great Slow Cooking Cookbook

This is a great reference cookbook filled with great recipes, product reviews, kitchen tips, cooking how-to's, and much more. I love all the Cook's Illustrated books. They are reliable and trusted for recipes that work and taste great! I have made this my "Go To" reference for great family meals.
