Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I found this cookbook when I was searching on Amazon for crock-pot and casserole cookbooks because I wanted some new EASY recipes. Voila! Two books in one! Since this book is a compilation of the best rated recipes from the site Allrecipes.com, it's like getting each family's absolute best and favorite recipe. Lots of "secret ingredient" finds! Unlike most cookbooks, as I flip through this one, EVERY recipe is a "winner" that my husband and I would like to try. Since each recipe is from a different cook, the cooking styles vary widely throughout the book, unlike a standard book of recipes written by one or a few cooks. I find that in most cookbooks, all the recipes tend to draw from the same set of ingredients and/or always use the same cooking style, so you've really only paid for a few good recipes.
The only drawback to this book is that there are no pictures, since there aren't any on the website either. But reading through each recipe it is very easy to "picture" the dish. The instructions are clear and concise.
Another thing: Some of the recipes are very similar, i.e. a few different lasagna recipes, a couple crock-pot rib recipes. The good part about that is if you don't quite have everything on hand for the first one, you might for the second one! Knowing that now, I still would have purchased the book anyway. This might have bothered me except I think there are actually a few dozen more than the advertised 200 recipes in the book.
The book is divided up into chapters based on the main meat ingredient (i.e. beef, chicken, pork), including a "Meatless Mains" chapter and a side-dish chapter. The chapters are then further separated by crock-pot cooking or oven-baking. Some recipies are maybe only 4 ingredients (for the VERY busy day) and others might be over 20 and a little more complicated, but unique and tasty as a result!
I'm positive this cook book will be used MUCH more than the others that are collecting dust on my kitchen shelf.
