Summary: Big Book is big success
Comment: This is a great Cook book with a huge variety of dishes to choose from. Preparing family meals with the slow cooker has changed my working life. This book contains so many recipes I will always have some new delicious flavours to offer my family. Even the pasta dishes are great. Until I purchased this book I was unsure as to the best way to utilize my slow cooker. Now I have a guideline for the different ingredients I want to use. I would reccomend this book to anyone with a slow cooker. It was a great buy.

Summary: Good cookbook, especially for first-time slow cookers
Comment: I've had this book for several years and several of the recipes are in regular rotation. I like the design of the book with one recipe per page, a sidebar on each page listing prep time, cook time (for both low and high heat settings), how many the recipe serves and the suggested slow cooker size. A brief introduction of the recipe at the top of each page typically offers helpful suggestions for what to serve with the recipe. There is also nutritional data on each page.
I found some very unique and tasty recipes, such as the Chicken-Sausage-Sauerkraut Soup. I served this to my parents and my mother said it was the best soup she'd ever had. I also am a fan of the Split Pea Curry Soup. It's a great combination. As I type this I am making the Southwestern White Chili for the umpteenth time.
Many of the recipes are, in my opinion, under-spiced. I credit this to two factors: the authors are striving towards low sodium recipes and they recognize that their target audience is families with kids who tend to shy away from highly spiced meals. I almost always punch up the spices with some additions of my own or increasing the suggested amount of spice in the recipe. For instance, for the chili I am currently cooking I added a little salt and white pepper (neither was listed in the recipe), extra cumin, extra chili pepper flakes, and am serving it with fresh, diced jalapeno on the side. I like to combine recipes from this cookbook. The Beef Chili Stew combined with the Firecracker Chili (with, again, a little extra spice thrown in) has become a tasty, spicy chili that I am famous for amongst my friends.
I haven't yet made recipes from the chapters on appetizers and desserts as I had a hard time imagining such items being cooked in a big crock pot. But now that I have a 3-in-1 slow cooker that includes a small, 2 quart crock, I am definitely going to give those recipes a try.
I think this is a worthy addition to your cook book shelf. The variety in this cookbook ensure its versatility. Just don't be shy about adding a litte extra salt and getting creative with the spices.

Comment: Lots of good recipes; can add or detract ingredients and still have very good flavor. Index needs to be more user friendly. Enough variety for a wide range of tastes.
