Very good cookbok for Whole Foods

I am someone who prefers to cook with whole foods and all natural ingredients. I never want to use pre-mixed items like cream-of-anything soup, salad dressing or taco mixes, so I was happy that all the recipes in this book rely on fresh ingredients. I have a well stocked kitchen (with many spices) so I admit, that has helped with some of the more elaborate dishes. Overall, all the recipes I have tried so far have been flavorful, though in some cases I choose to add additional salt, pepper or other spices, but that is a matter of preference. I think this is a great book with a wide variety of dishes. It is worth a try if you hate store bought mixes and "recipes" that rely on pre-mixed condiments for flavor.

Love my Crockpot, this book helps me use it!

I love my crockpot. I use it all the time. It is so easy to have a complete meal on the table. Cheaper cuts of meat come out tasting great, no hot ovens and stove tops for little fingers to get burned on, easy to use, and good results. This book is a great resource for Crockpot cooking. The recipes turn out great. Almost everything is easy to make and there are not any unusual or exotic ingredients called for in the meals. There are a few good crockpot recipe books available that are still in print. This is one that I am glad I have on my shelves.

Easy yet full of flavour

I bought several books on slow electric cooking for my daughter- this was by far the best, full of simple and quick recipes withinteresting yet readily available ingredients, and wonderful flavours. I liked it so much I am buying myself a copy. A pity it's not in hardback - I plan to suggest my library should order some too and hardbacks stand up to library use much better than paperbacks.

Worth the time and investment.

If you have children and live overseas the Crockery Cooker will help you save time, money, and energy while feeding you children and family good wholesome meals. The food items are easy to locate and the meals are delicious. They are also easily converted to lowfat/low sodium. It only takes 30 to 45 minutes preptime the night before or morning of and you can come home to dinner, no waiting, no whining "Mom, I'm hungry. When's dinner." I thoroughly enjoyed it including the breads and cakes.
