I selected this book because my darling daughter-in-law is allergic to everything. When she was dating my son, he'd had shrimp salad for lunch. Several hours later she showed up from LA, kissed him, and went into anaphylactic shock, needed a shot immediately, then off to the emergency. It was right after that when I met her the first time at the market. She was so loopy she didn't remember meeting me. So I pay attention to anything Gluten Free so I can safely prepare meals for her.I was also curious about the slow cooker thing. I am old enough when the Crock Pot first appeared on the scene and everyone started doing it. Same time as fondu, which I have never understood.This book convinced me that I need to get myself a slow cooker. I'm a writer so I am home. But these recipes sound so good that I have to try them. Although several sound perfect for cooking on the stove top, just not for as long. Looking forward to trying a bunch of them because they'll be so different than my usual with the meat tender and the flavors fused. Or is that 'infused?'I was already excited about the Sweet Potato Chicken Stew and Lemony Salmon Soup. Then...I got to the kids recipes. We have the girls on the weekends so it's always hard to cook for them – fussy little eaters – so this will be really fun. They like to help cook so they'll love being able to select, then make the meals. Very cool idea.
