Summary: The Jury is Out
Comment: I recently got this book because it seemed like an excellent starting point for my new slow cooker. While the intro gave me some spot-on advice about the art of slow-cooking, I find the recipes seem to have been a bit neglected by the author. I made the Burgundy Beef with Wild Mushrooms, and although it turned out reasonably well, it was only because I altered the ingredient quantities when the stated amounts were obviously wrong. It was painfully apparent that this recipe had NOT been tested prior to publication. I think this book could be useful to the seasoned cook who will be able to see when the recipe is noticeably unbalanced, but it might cause some heartache for the less experienced cook who will surely end up make some very unappetizing dishes through no fault of their own. I'll try a few more recipes, and update this review accordingly.

Summary: Creativity for the Crock Pot
Comment: I love a good slow cooker, and this book has some interesting recipes to take full advantage of it. It's a cut above the typical canned-soup-and-frozen-vegetables recipes, which is great. My only criticism is that some of the recipes strike me as a bit too ambitious for this appliance: by the time you go through all of the effort, you might as well just make it in a regular dutch oven. But that's quibbling - it's an excellent book and I haven't gone wrong on a recipe yet.

Summary: The BEST CrockPot Cookbook!!
Comment: I purchased Donna-Marie Pye's "America's Best Slow Cooker Recipes" Cookbook along with two of Mable Hoffman's cookbooks. This cookbook is hand's down the best and our family favorite!! The recipes are simple, delicious, and soothing. It is so wonderful to come home to a cooked meal, having the entire house smell great.
I found that this cookbook have a very nice variety of dishes to make, using a variety of ingredients. Most other crockpot cookbooks tend to have the same dishes, stews, soups, etc. Ms Pye's book has a larger, more tasty selection. She also includes some variations on the dishes, which we found to be interesting and delicious as well.
Our family favorite is the Chicken in a Pot, using the curry sauce over noodles.
If you are looking for a good crockpot cookbook with a good selection of recipes, then this is an excellent choice!
