I purchased this book because I was looking to increase the usage of my slow cooker, and I'm sure glad I did. The slow cooker is something I've always just kind of used for stews, but Maria Holmes' book contains recipes and ideas I'd never thought of.Who knew you could make desserts in a slow cooker? I certainly didn't, but 'Satisfying Slow Cooker Meals' has a number of them.Another thing that I love is that it contains vegetarian meals. I eat meat, but I'm looking to cut back. My fiance doesn't eat meat, so it can be hard to come up with meals we can have together. Making everything up in the slow cooker is a great solution for us.Particular standouts for me are the Cuban Style Black Beans and Rice and Maple Ginger Sweet Potatoes. Yum!If you're looking to get back into slow cooking (like me) or just looking for some great new recipes, check out this book.I'm having a Christmas party this weekend, and I'm going to try out the Mexican Style Meatballs and Sausages.
