Book Reviews of The Healthy Slow Cooker
Book Review: Expand your slow-cooker repertoire
Summary: 5 Stars
This book can expand the possibilities of your slow cooker. The recipes work especially well with a slow cooker that allows you to sear and saute, on your cook-top, with the liner of your slow cooker. Yes, there are steps involved in many of the recipes - sauteing some ingredients, slow-cooking them, and then adding other ingredients 30 minutes prior to the end - but the results are worth it.Book Review: may not be what you're looking for
Summary: 3 Stars
I was disappointed that it didn't have a wide variety of recipes. They all have a similar flair to them, and all require more prep time than I really wanted for crock pot cooking! In the end, I say forget your pressure cooker and check out The Best of Cooking Light. These are simple, easy to prepare recipes, wide variety, and everything has been excellent so far. Anyway, good luck!Book Review: Wonderful Cookbook
Summary: 5 Stars
If you don't mind some prep time, this is an amazing cookbook. The author really did a great job with guidance on so many levels - how to prepare, when you can prepare parts of the recipe ahead (and how), what the nutritional values are, etc. I haven't had a single recipe come out poorly, and I am no cook.Book Review: Easy cooking made healthy
Summary: 5 Stars
Although I purchased this cookbook for my parents to aid them in both healthy and easy cooking, I myself have tried several recipes and have been very pleased with the results. This book offers a wide variety of recipes to accommodate even the fussiest eaters and best of all the recipes are healthy.Book Review: OK, but too much work
Summary: 3 Stars
The recipes aren't bad, especially health wise, but there's a LOT of prep...including sauteeing food before putting it in the crock pot. A good buy if you have time, but if you're looking for something that you expect from a crockpot (throw it all in and leave!), this one may not be right for you.
