4 Stars Not your Mother Slow Cooker Recipes for Two
Bought the book for a gift with a slow cooker. Then bought two more. Like the recipes, not the normal. It is soup and stew weather, plus has more.

4 Stars Good cook book
My wife and I just bought a slow cooker, so a cook book specific to slow cookers was essential. So far I’ve only tried one recipe but it came out quit tasty. This book is easy to read and understand, the recipes being not overly complex, and there are several more I am anxious to try as they seem to be quite good. This book was a good choice.

2 Stars Slow Cooking NOT at its best.
I was expecting classic meals when I purchased this book, or atleast “normal” entrees that I could feed my boyfriend. All the recipes are pretty contemporary, and I guess I didn’t take the title “NOT Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Recipes” seriously enough.

4 Stars Really expands the way I use my slow cooker
I found this book at the library and had success with enough recipes to convince me that I wanted to buy it. For me, the appeal of this book that there is quite a variety of recipes included and most of them are not recipes that are “traditional” crock pot cooking (i.e. huge beef roast + envelope of soup mix + cup of coffee = enough goopy grey beef to feed an army). I’ve tried comfort favorites like the macaroni & cheese and lasagna, as well as the thai red curry chicken and the teriyaki. Yes, I think the traditional stove/oven preparation methods do yield better results, but not my much. And I can throw these recipes together before I haul the kids to piano or dance lessons, and dinner is ready when we get home. I look forward to trying the risotto this week!

3 Stars Won’t be using it that much….
Most recipes call for too many ingredients (herbs and spices are ingredients to me).

The lack of photos is also a turn off.
