In this follow-up to the bestselling Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook, Beth Hensperger offers 125 new recipes specifically designed for the increasingly popular 1 1/2 to 3 1/2-quart slow cooker. This is the perfect book for busy singles and small families who want the convenience of a small slow-cooker-made meal without sacrificing wholesomeness and flavor. With the introduction of a smaller model that cooks in quantities for one or two people, the slow cooker's popularity has grown even more. This downsized appliance for the single person or the childless couple allows the cook to prepare a meal in the morning, head off to a job, and still have a hot meal virtually ready when the workday has ended. Hensperger demonstrates this diminutive cooker's versatility with a collection of recipes that fit in with today's changing tastes in food. Chilis and soups show off the slow cooker's obvious virtues. In addition to beef- and pork-based stews and braises, plenty of turkey and chicken recipes appeal to devotees of lower-fat cooking. Polenta and risotto enhance the usual pasta dishes. Hensperger further offers some recipes for accompaniments designed for stovetop or oven preparation such as cornbread, pilafs, and dumplings.

This book caught my eye with what seemed to be innovative recipes. That is, until I actually tried some. I gave the author the benefit of my doubts regarding the use of items that normally one wouldn't consider slow-cooking - like pork tenderloin. Until I cooked her pork tenderloin with rhubarb recipe, I didn't know it was possible to create shoe leather from tenderloin. My family has expressly forbidden me to try anything else from the book. I have only myself to blame. I was so taken in by the rhurbarb sauce that I overlooked ...

Rating - Not your Everyday Cookbook This book has some great recipies and works well for individuals like me - one that is not an expert at cooking. My wife was a gourmet cook and often used a crock-pot to prepare wonderful meals. Her passing left a void in my life, including the need to learn how to cook. Now I can prepare great meals that remind me of the "old days." Furthermore, I can the the crock-pot do the work while I continue to write. I even sent a copy of the original book to my daughter. This is a book well worth owning. Rating - Definitely not the same old slow cooker recipes Yes, there are some unusual spices for a number of the recipes. I have no idea where to get nasturtiums for the Nasturtium Butter (especially since nasturtiums are annuals). But, there are some that do not ... such as the Barbecue Pulled Chicken. It is made from ingredients usually already in your cabinet, and it tastes fabulous! There are numerous recipes for different kinds of chili. Some use dry beans and some use canned beans. One even uses nothing but vegetables. So, there are a number of usable recipes (some easier than ... Read More Rating - I do cook out of it. (But the person who has difficulty buying groceries in rural Hawaii may have fewer problems than someone in rural Tennessee--not infrequently it's a 60 mile round trip for cilantro in the winter.) From what I've done--four or five recipes, the prize is one of the recipes that sounds as though it might be weird and dreadful. The (I really think the name is an oxymoron) white vegetarian chili made with zucchini and hominy. She does use a lot of packaged ingredients, for instance bottled salsa or spaghetti sauce. ...
