What a great tool! I recommend the volume 2 & vegetarian cookbooks, too. I've bought them all. This book was a fun impulse-buy that has been worth every penny. It's wonderful for people who really want more from their crockpot than the unfortunate status quo (canned/bottled/packaged food and meat combos). The purchase is of a coffee/spice grinder is needed.

The sub title of this book is "Simple and Sophisticated Meals from Around the World" and I have to say it is perfect subtitle. This book is great way to use your slow cooker but in a way that adds just a little more to the meal. Any of the recipes would be great on any night of the week but also for a dinner party.
The recipes are delicious but the author also offers up drinking suggestions to go with it. The layout, style and photos of the cookbook just make it a lovely read.

i usually don't like slow cooker recipes, but this cookbook is well worth the $12 from amazon! it's so relaxing to put these recipes together in the morning while rhys is sleeping and then be able to actually enjoy dinner without getting stressed out.
Not only are the recipes interesting but the "Tips for the Slow Cooker" invaluable. It's the only book of this type that I've read that includes fundamentals in slow cooking which I found very helpful.
Beautiful. Sumptuous. Only a few intense recipes - most are very easy/straightforward. A great upgrade to traditional crock-pot cooking.
have not tried the recipes yet, but found several that look good!
We were given a crock pot as a wedding present and its been pretty fun trying it out. We used the internet for recipes for awhile but I saw these and love cookbooks with beautiful pictures. I also like how it tells the history of each dish and what wines are best for the dish.

A handful of delicious recipes for cooks who want the benefit of hands-off cooking but prefer to use whole foods and real ingredients.
