Southern Living Slow-Cooker Cookbook

As a commuter of 80+ mi/day and someone who wants to put a good meal on the table at night, this book saves me every time! I have had it for over 3 years, I have never had a bad experience with any of the recipes in this book (which I cannot say that for my Betty Crocker Slow-Cooker Cookbook) and I still discover new treasures. Plus, we always have enough leftovers for at least one lunch--much better than cafeteria food! The variety is excellent and there's a chapter on "Living Light" which both my husband and I have enjoyed at least as much as the full-up recipes. If you buy one cookbook, make it this one. And if you have trouble getting home in time to turn off the pot, get a Slow-Cooker with the built in timer--it's worth every pennny.

Love the recipes, the layout, and the results! Good food with little effort and less electricity.

Bought this after seeing it at a friends home. Have made a few of the recipes and all are very good. I am very pleased with this book - it has many great family style recipes that are easy and healthy.

Slow cookers aren't just for main dishes, though over the years that's what they've come to be associated with: they can offer entire meals from soup and appetizers to dessert - and SOUTHERN LIVING SLOW-COOKER COOKBOOK is here to make the most of them, using their Test Kitchen pros' experiments to produce polished, guaranteed results and original dishes not to be found in competing cookbooks. Bright color photos accompany recipes which are also labeled by type i.e. 'Comfort Food', 'Editor's Choice', and 'Company's Coming'. What's for dinner from a slow cooker? Perhaps Chicken Lasagna Florentine, Steak Soup or even Apple Crisp. Over 200 recipes are presented. Diane C. Donovan, Editor California Bookwatch
