Rating:  Summary: Well, It's OK Review: When it comes to cooking, one name I always count on to come through and provide delicious meals is Pillsbury. Pillsbury is to cooking what Life Magazine is to world events - there is simply none better. My favourite section of the book is the one containing recipes for a slow cooker or crock pot, followed in second place by the tempting casseroles. For those of us who work all day, a slow cooker is a sheer blessing. The ingredients in these recipes are easy to find, the blend is flavourful and the end result is a meal that is both delicious and nutritious. The presentation of the meal is limited only by one's creative ability. Even a basic casserole can be made to appear as if it was prepared by a gourmet chef! The illustrations alone in this book will make your mouth water. If you want a top-notch cookbook, rely on Pillsbury. This one is superb and has absolutely tons of easy to prepare, fantastic recipes!

Rating:  Summary: Makes me look forward to cooking. Review: While finishing my graduate degree and trying to take care of a very hungry husband at the same time, I began to find myself hating the idea of being relegated to a 'domestic housewife' in order to complete my education. Amidst laundry, cleaning, cooking, and the clean-up after, I knew that watching daytime soaps and the gardening channel were just around the corner and that would be it, I would have to shoot myself.My parents bought me this cookbook for Christmas, and I have been saved! Skillets, casseroles, and slow-cook meals that feed 4 - 8 people, most taking less than a half hour to prepare, with ingredients that are either easy to prepare, or come canned or frozen. Clean-up is a snap, I can grocery shop once every week and a half for meals that will last the entire time between, and the leftovers are enough to feed the hungry husband for lunch the next day. I need to invest in a 3-quart casserole dish for some of the casserole recipes, but there are lots of recipes that call for 2 and 1-1/2 quart dishes as well. For the skillet recipes, a regular 12-inch pan works well, and a 3-1/2 to 4 quart slow cooker is what's called for in that section. The pictures are GORGEOUS, and the directions are all straight-forward. I especially appreciate the complete nutritional breakdown that follows each recipe, and many of the recipes are, or can be modified to be, fairly low-calorie and (gasp!) healthy. A real lifesaver, recommended to anyone who likes 'home cooking' without feeling like a home-bound prisoner.
