I like this book.  I like the integration of some curry, Asian, classic stews and seafood recipes.  I can see little problem making a Paleo version slow cooker meal since the slow cooker is used mainly to roast meats, or make stews from tough meats that long cooking renders very tender.  The only reason a slow cooker meal would not be Paleo is when starches (rice, pasta, etc) are served along side.  I have read these reviews that make note of the long list of ingredients which are mainly spices or fresh herbs.  If one is making a habit of eating in this manner, then it is beneficial to stock up on the dried items and learn to grow (even in small spaces) and maintain herbs for cooking.  Some others also complain that it is not suitable for "busy" families.  That just means that one is not willing to try.  The purpose of the slow cooker is supposed to  ease the schedule of busy families... Doing the work while you are at work.  Take a few minutes to make a shopping list, buy quality produce, buy meat in bulk and freeze for later meals, and cut the veggies the night before.  That is suggested in the beginning pages.I can't wait to do the Spanish fish soup, and the Irish stew.  These are both a little out of my repertoire but I ain't scared.
