Customer Reviews

This is not a cook book, it is a picture book for display on a coffee table; and is very disappointi

I am sorry I purchased this book. I wanted to learn more about slow-cooking and based upon my knowledge of W&S, I bought this book sight unseen. Well, it is going in the donation bag for Goodwill. I learned a valuable lesson, review a book before buying.

All Clad Slow Cooker Cookbook

This updated cookbook for slow cookers, especially the new All Clad with the non-stick metal insert pan, is the best we've seen. This is definitely not your mother's 1960 crockpot cookbook! Excellent recipes.

Great recipes, beautiful and helpful photos........as always

I bought this book and was just ordering another as a Christmas Gift! I do end up buying Williams-Sonoma cookbooks regularly, I find the photos beautiful (and therefore helpful) and the recipes great and easy to follow. I have made two dinners from this book already and can't wait to try a third. Give it to all your busy Mom friends, its a must.

An Instant Classic for the Slow Foods Kitchen

Encompassing recipes both down-home and exotic, and ranging from vegetarian to veal, Essentials of Slow Cooking is a great example of why I love Williams-Sonoma cookbooks. It's informative, inspiring, and just plain mouth-watering. Drawing from dozens of cultures and countries, individual recipes are detailed but not daunting, and are complimented by a collection of classic side dish recipes and slow-cooked menu suggestions. The photos throughout are gorgeous; I'm a visual person and appreciate that almost every recipe is accompanied by a full-page enticement to get into the kitchen and start cooking! My slow cooker will surely go where it's never gone before.
