Great Slow Cooker Cookbook for your main meat dish - and a few vegetables, sides and dips! Along with the recipes this cookbooks first chapter talks a little about slow cookers and how to find one that is right for you. It goes through the size, shapes and features so you can make an informed decision if you are shopping for a slow cooker. Next it talks about the cuts of meat that work best for the slow cooker, essential herbs and spices, and top slow cooker tips. Chapter 2 - Broths, Stocks & Sauces - 14 recipes. Chapter 3 - Beef - 19 recipes. Chapter 4 - Pork - 21 recipes. Chapter 5 - Lamb - 10 recipes. Chapter 6 - Poultry - 20 recipes. Chapter 7 - Fish & Seafood - 10 recipes. Chapter 8 - Vegetables, Sides & Dips - 15 recipes. Measurement Conversions - Recipes index - Index by ingredients. Now about the recipes - there are some color pictures but not one for every recipe. The ones I have read are easy to understand, clearly written and have basic ingredients. The top of the page clearly states how many the recipe serves, prep time and cook time. The ingredient list is listed on the outside of the page in brown color and the instructions are on the inside of the page in black with numbers in front of each step. The recipe starts with a short paragraph about the recipe - possibly a tip or reference using an ingredient used in another recipe. At the end of the recipe is a tip that you will want to read. So far I have tried 2 of the recipes and was not disappointed. And I do have to say that there are several more I will also be trying - some cookbooks I've had I only end up wanting to try a couple but there are several weeks of new meals I will be trying. I hope this review was helpful and you enjoy this cookbook as much as I am.

I know my way around the kitchen, and especially around a slow cooker, and didn't think I had much else about it to learn. Well boy was I wrong! This little book is packed full of recipes that are commonly associated with a slow cooker and some that I never would have thought of slow cooking! It starts out by helping you choose the right cooker for you, as well as the best cuts of meat for this process. The first chapter is one of my favorites and tells you how to make several different kinds of stocks, broths and sauces! It then dives right in to each kind of meat and several different delicious recipes for each! There is also a good section on sides to go with all these yummy meat dishes! From Pho Stock, to Sauerbraten, to Swedish Meatballs and Chinese Five Spice Pork Chops, there is a little bit of something for every taste! Sundays are my slow cooker days and I can't wait to cook my way through this book! I received a copy of this book free from the publisher, but the opinions expressed here are my own.
