Book Review - Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook
My wife and I love using our slow cooker and the Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook. We both work, and never can seem to find the time to cook a proper meal during the week. Complicating matters are our very different work schedules. I work a relatively normal 9 to 5 job with a software company, while she is temporarily working in retail. Although we have purchased other slow cooker cookbooks and been very satisfied with them, such as "Fix-it and forget-it cookbook: feasting with your slow cooker", we are always on the lookout for something new and different. The Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook was definitely what we were looking for. Money well spent indeed.
This cookbook is great for experienced as well as new-to-slow-cooker types of people. The Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook provides you with sound very good information regarding slow cookers, such as:
- Types of slow cookers available
- Temperature settings
- Fundamental guidelines on slow cooking
- Assorted number of techniques used for successful slow cooking
This slow cooker cookbook is very comprehensive, with each section and recipe containing good introductory information. The gamut of recipes are extensive. These include varieties of pizzas, meat dishes, soups and porridges, side dishses, puddings, sauces and desserts, just to name a few. Containing over 350 recipes, there is something for every occasion and apetite.
My love really loved the fact that each recipe in the Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook had good information on what types of crockpot would be ideal for each recipe, as well as the number of servings and cooking time it would take to prepare. With our busy schedule, there's nothing like getting all the ingredients together the night before, going to work, and coming home to a nice pot full of goodness for dinner. If you're on a budget, it's really cost-effective, as well, since you can spread the meal out to lunch the next day, if you don't mind some leftovers.
This is a great book, and a valued additon to our slow cooker recipe library. Get a copy today, you can't go wrong.
