You probably own a slow cooker--80 percent of American households do. For more than thirty years, its unbeatable convenience and practicality have made it a staple of busy families, enabling anyone to return to a home-cooked meal at the end of a hectic day. Many slow cooker recipes, however, have relied on less-than-healthy convenience products.
Here is a completely fresh look at cooking with this popular appliance. This comprehensive collection of 350 recipes combines the ease of slow cooking with the fresh, wholesome ingredients and exciting flavors of today’s kitchen.
For days when there’s just no time for prep, there’s Orange and Honey Chicken Drumsticks or Country Ribs with Onions, Apples, and Sauerkraut. For (slightly!) less hectic days there’s Tangy Tomato Brisket or Lentil and Red Pepper Soup. Stay out of the kitchen when guests arrive with Duck Breasts with Port Wine Sauce or wake up to breakfast with Hot Apple Granola Oatmeal. Hensperger and Kaufmann offer dishes for every time frame, without compromising on taste, quality, or variety. And Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Cookbook showcases the best of home cooking while taking advantage of a global melting pot of flavors--so cooks can serve Chicken and Shrimp Jambalaya one day and Japanese Beef Curry Rice another. All the classic slow cooker recipes are here, plus many more adventuresome and innovative dishes. There is also practical information on the different types of slow cookers, their latest accessories, and what sizes are best for what purposes.
As others mentioned, there is prep time on most of the recipes, but I knew that going in. Great looking recipes, I've tried a couple, great results.

Granted, it was titled Not your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook, and offered as a healthy alternative to high fat and high carb slow cooking ( which is why I was interested in the book). However, for me, the recipes and ingredients necessary to make the dish were not what I consider everyday staples that I have in my pantry, nor did I consider most of the recipes something that my family woud enjoy on a regular

Yes | No Report Violation »I have only had time to try a few recipes from this book, but reading the contents indicates there are a large number of very interesting recipes that can be prepared. The book is well-written and the recipes are easy to follow; the writing style is as though the author is standing next to you in the kitchen, discussing each recipe. There are also a number of recipes--not prepared in the slow cooker-- that are accompaniments to the slow cooker recipes. This makes the book a well-rounded and useful source to have next to you in the kitchen, even when you're not cooking a recipe from the slow cooker.
