What Others Say
I love this book!!
I have 3 different sized slow cookers. Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook has recipes for each of them. I love the cereal recipes. The maple cranberry granola is to die for. The recipes are easy to follow, and the notes and comments are interesting and informative.
Crock pot recipes with FLAVOR!
I love to cook with my crock pot and am always looking for new recipes. One of my complaints with crock pot cook books is that their recipes are rather bland. Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook, however, has many flavorful recipes that are well worth making. The added bonus is that the ingredients are either seasonal and/or easy to find in your local supermarket and/or farmer's market.
The authors do a wonderful job of explaining how to cook with slow cookers so that you almost feel like you have taken a cooking class on slow cooking. I plan to buy the other Not Your Mother's books.
Disappointing! Lots of variety, but not the kind I'm seeking.
Disappointing. I wish I hadn't spent the money. Speaking of money's worth, the binding is of poor quality. I've only had mine for a few months and already pages are falling out. Overall, I'm not happy with this purchase. Here's why.
1- There are no pictures. Isn't part of enjoying a meal the visual appeal? What's a cookbook with no pictures? Photographs of the finished meal encourage me to try recipes I might otherwise have ignored. Without photos, I've ignored a lot of these recipes.
2- A huge portion of Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook is devoted to secondary courses: sauces, breads, sides and desserts. If I want to make a cake, I'm going to use my oven, not my crockpot. Maybe I'm being too traditional. I understand the point of Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook ... Read More
Worth it for the breakfast recipes alone!
I received this as a gift, and have used it a LOT for the breakfast recipes. I love being able to make very healthy, inexpensive and hearty breakfasts in my slow cooker overnight.
Not Your Standard Slow Cooker Cookbook At All!!!
Can't compare Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook with all the others in the same category. Very unusual and interesting recipes. Not your canned creamed soup recipes either!!! Can't wait to try it!!!
