Summary: Wonderful home cooking
Comment: This is the perfect book to have during the cooler months. Hearty but not necessarily heavy food easily prepared that will make your kitchen fragrant and your mouth water. Tom Valenti's directions are easy to follow, the ingredients easy to find and the results are delicious. Make two or three of the slow-cooked receipes over the weekend and eat well for the rest of the week. These may not be the most inovative recipes you'll ever find (tuna noodle casserole for example) but the book is worth the price for the Moroccan-Spiced-Braised Lamb Shanks receipe alone. Not all receipes take hours to cook, some are fast and easy for quick week night dinners. This is real world comfort food and I recommend it to any cook of basic(or greater) skill level. You won't need fancy equipment either!

Summary: For the non-cook cook
Comment: I'm not an expert in the kitchen by any means, but I can follow a recipe like a pro. This book made cooking a pleasure - the recipes were simple and delicious and not too intimidating for a cooking neophyte. I look forward to cooking up these meals, from front to back. I highly recommend this book - perfect for the chilly fall nights to come!

Summary: A great resource
Comment: In this great book, Chef Tom Valenti (named one of the country's "Ten Best Chefs" by Food & Wine magazine!) gives us 125 recipes for meals that are slow-cooked and cooked in one pot. The recipes themselves are broken down into 1) Hearty Soups and Chowders, 2) Casseroles, Stews and Chili, and 3) Large Cuts and Catches. Each recipe has a list of ingredients, a very good set of step-by-step instructions, and (often) some suggested variations on the recipe. Also, this is definitely a book that you want to read all of. The section on accompaniments and additions has some great additions as does the section on condiments and garnishes.
Overall, my wife and I found this to be a great resource. The recipes range from the exotic (Baked Sea Bass, Papillote Style with Lemon and Olives) to the familiar (Beer and Beef Stew), but all of them have the spices and ingredients necessary to make them a taste treat. So far we have made the Slow-Cooked Chicken in a Pot, the Chicken Braised with Mushrooms and the Beef Stroganoff, and we loved them all. My wife and I highly recommend this book to you.
