1: Great not so little book
This book is like a very large church membership cook book for slow cookers. As with that type of cookbook there are many types of dishes. They are all simple, and with dishes from this type of book it is easy to make them your own. Take this out, add that, etc. Play with them and you can end up with exactly what you want & like.
This quote from this book says it all.
All of these recipies comefrom home cooks. These are their favorite
dishes. So get out your slow cooker-or cookers- and choose from these flexible, forgivivg, and
scrumptious recipes. There's tempting variety among the recipies,
and many differ only by a tantalizing
ingredient or two.

2: destined for donation at this point
First I must say that I am a huge fan of the slow cooker and use it five times per week. I have about twenty slow-cooker cookbooks and use them all the time. This particular book is a collection of recipes with comments submitted by home cooks all over the country. Someone has calculated the nutritional content of each one. I am doubtful that most of these recipes have been tested by the author or by anyone actually involved with the publication of the book. It says on the book's cover "tested in real-life settings". I guess that means by the people who submitted them. I have prepared about a dozen of the recipes and have found none worthy of repeating. They tend to be bland, boring or worse. There are, as many reviewers have noted, multiple versions of the same dish. I can only guess that including all of them was easier and less painful than tasting them. It makes for a very big book which I'm sure will be probably find a new home at the library book sale.

3: Awesome cookbook never again will I not know what to cook
The book at first look is big with 700 pages 1400 recipes. However don't let it scare you they are simple enough anyone can learn to cook.
I am a single man and I learn how to cook from 4 Campbell Soups books a lady gave me cause she hated seeing me buy tv dinners. Some people laugh but hell it good food. This book is writing the same way. Easy to prepares a lot of can food type recipes. If you can read you can cook.
What makes this book rock is the back index. Let say you have a bunch of Navy beans just look up Navy beans and it will show you what you can make. It is a wonderful resource to teach someone how to use a slow cooker and let face it with 1400 recipes this is the only book you need.

4: Great Cookbook..
This is one of the best cookbooks on the market. Very easy recipes with few ingredients. The recipe can be found in the index according to what you have on hand. So many things i never realized you could even put in a crockpot and its "normal" food, not something you havent heard of.
