Crockpot Cooking for Gourmets! |
Like another reviewer, I resisted getting a crockpot because I'd like to think of myself as a gourmet cook. I recently had gastric bypass surgery, and my surgeon recommended a crockpot as a way to really make meats tender and easier for me to get (and keep) down.
What a cookbook! It is my first crockpot cookbook, and it was an excellent buy. I liked the "Crockpots for Dummies"-type information in the beginning. Each recipe also has excellent tips - did you know that Basil increases strength with cooking time, but Cilantro mellows? Neither did I, and both are useful tips while cooking! The spiral binding is also wonderful. The pot roasts are delicious, as are the Pork Chops with Mixed Dried Fruit. Tonight I prepared the Beef Brisket with Cranberry Gravy, and felt compelled to write.
I highly recommend this cookbook for crockpot newbies like me. Veterans should find useful and delicious recipes as well. |

Delicious recipes and easy to follow |
Thanks to this book, I come home several times a week to a dinner that is ready to eat - and delicious! I have tried about 50% of the recipes and so far, all of them have turned out very well. My favorites are the Fruited Pork Chops, which are so good I served them to my family on Thanksgiving rather than turkey! Other highlights are the Hungarian Goulash, the Garlic Pork Roast with plum sauce and the Cassoulet. Best of all, I always have enough left over for lunch the next day.
On top of this, every recipe has a complete nutrional analysis, so if you are watching carbs, you can choose recipes based on that.
My family and friends love this cookbook - they get to eat the results! |

OK at best |
| The book itself is nice - spiral bound for easy use and the recipes are clear. Some of the dishes I tried turned out tasteless, even though they smelled great cooking all day. I expected a lot given the book was a 'Betty Crocker'. |
