Review: Not a whole lot new in the world of slow cookery...

And most of the "slow cooker/crockpot" books recycle the same old recipes, updated occasionally, that were invented in the '70s when the slow cooker burst onto the scene.  This author manages to pull out a few interesting recipes worthy of experimenting with.  I do think the book needs an editing pass, but it's not horrible.  The problem would come in where someone who is new in the kitchen could make a mistake and not realize it.  For example, the recipe I did try (Carribean Shredded Pork) calls for one 3-4 pound chicken, but no pork!S'cool, though, because I was using chicken anyway since I am an experienced cook and know how to make substitutions, but someone new to cooking would have had some issues.  Just so you know, I did do some minor tweaking to the recipe, but the sauce for the Carribean Shredded Pork (which I am actually using again today with some pork ribs in the crockpot) was excellent.There are several other recipes that I will be giving a whirl: Chicken & Dumplings, Scalloped Potatoes and Mulled Wine Cider (looks excellent!)Thanks, author, for the Kindle freebie.
