Six Ingredients or Less: Slow Cooker (Six Ingredients or Less)

Rating:
Summary: Another useful and well written cookbook
Review: Excellent cookbook using "normal" ingredients that can be found in almost any kitchen. I love being able to put ingredients in the slow cooker and finding a tasty, home cooked meal at the end of the day. The slow cooker is a lifesaver and Carlean Johnson's cookbook is too.

Review: I'm all for simple, straightforward, easy recipes, and the ones in this book definitely fit the bill. I like the author's down-home, friendly style. The only problem is, her recipes are very down-home too - they almost seem outdated, as if they were created back in the slow cooker's original heyday, the 1970s or so (actually I think people ate more healthy than this in the 70s). Obviously the author and her family have no weight problems and can eat what they want. The recipes are hearty and easy, but be prepared for lots of full-fat ingredients and everything we're always renovating our recipes for nowadays. I flagged a lot of recipes in this book to make, but only as special treats. I couldn't use this book for daily meals.
