4 out of 5 stars Unique tasty recipes   August 11, 2007
 11 out of 11 found this review helpful

I agree with another, not enough recipes - the opposite of the 'Fix it and Forget it' books, which have too many. Also, in contrast to those books, there are only a couple in here that you can actually fix in the morning and leave all day, but then they do taste better than those. Most are ready to eat in less than an avg workday, and require too much prep for a workday morn (suggestion - make as much as possible ahead the night before). I've tried 4 recipes so far, and they have all been better than your average crock pot dish. I've had difficulty getting the spice level right - 2 I made were lacking in salt quite a bit, one was way too spicy. I really like the uniqueness of the recipes. The best cookbook I've found for crockpots. Oh, I also like that most have a picture - I'm a very visual person...

I'm passionate about gourmet streaks as I call them, periods of time when I get into gastronomic investigation and concentration on techniques or cultural cuisine or flavor or ingredient, etc. I've had my crepes streak, my lemon streak, etc. Just discovering slow cooker, due to my wife's interest.

Alley's entry is fascinating as well: writers retreat, so fired up slow cooker to write, then modified world cuisine favorites, and thus we have this great cookbook.

Maryellen's spotlight review has it well: this is just a well-done creative cookbook, with exciting recipes prepared for slow cooker. TenSpeed Press I've found is just the best, known for quality photos and text and recipes such as this one exudes with.

Feast your slow cooker on these: Lamb Shanks in Tomato Sauce; Chicken Caccitore; Lamb Stew with Spinach; Artichoke Risotto (no constant stirring); There's even desserts and soups, etc. from Mexico, Italy, Greece, etc. Since this is of the gourmet bent,there is even wine/beer/ale suggestion with each recipe. One small criticism: wish he would have provided optional already crushed spices, such as cinammon, allspice, etc. Not everyone all the time has raw spices nor time to do the work of pulverizing them in processor or mortar/pestle.

As others have said, echo that this is winner of slow cooker collection. Hint well observed: saute first; flavor worth it if time permits.

So many slow cooker cookbooks I've used are redundant...with the same recipe being presented over and over again with only one or two ingredient changes. The Gourmet Slow Cooker is definitely a different kind of cookbook. The recipes are interesting and unique. The book is organized by regional area, and the diversity in flavors and tastes is amazing.

Most of the recipes require a little more attention than the typical, "Throw it in the pot and set it to high," mentality presented in other slow cooker recipes. While I won't be using this cookbook for my typical work days, the recipes look like great options for the weekend when I have a little more time for prep.
