Summary: Super Duper!
Review: I purchased Carol Munsun's crock pot cook a few weeks ago. So far I have prepared perhaps a half dozen of her recipes and they all have been fabulous.For years I have been using Crock pots, mostly for cooking legumes and soups - pretty conservative and safe fare. However, Munson's recipes have all been exceptionally tasty, and easy to follow, as well as healthy. In my opinion, if you are interested in slow cooking as a means of eating low fat food this is the "first" book you should pick up.

Summary: Fine recipes--but I didn't realize they were low-fat!
Review: In my ongoing quest for simple recipes to throw in the Crock-Pot, I ordered this book, and am generally pleased with it. The recipes themselves are quite appealing and meet my primary criterion for slow-cooker meals: They call for simple ingredients requiring a minimum of preparation in the morning... The vast majority of them are things I wouldn't hesitate to try. The only real gripe I have is one that perhaps I could have avoided had I looked carefully at the enlarged picture of the front cover and seen that these are LOW-FAT recipes. (In retrospect, I now understand the word "Smart" in the title.) Looking at the recipes, I think I can probably remedy that by simply using higher-fat versions of the ingredients (whole or 2% milk instead of skim, full-bore sour cream instead of light, etc.). All in all, probably an OK book to add to your Crockery Cookery collection...
