The Indian Slow Cooker: 50 Healthy, Easy, Authentic Recipes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been waiting forever for someone to write a wonderful collection of Indian recipes for the slow cooker and my prayers have been answered! Anupy Singla has put together some lovely easy Indian recipes - where all you do is throw a bunch of easy-to-find ingredients in the slow cooker, set it and forget it for several hours! The recipes mainly focus on vegetarian ingredients but there are some lovely meat curries (with notes on how to make many of them vegetarian with soy crumbles or seitan).
The fact that she has figured out how to make kheema (a ground beef and peas comfort-food dish) in the slow cooker (genius!) is worth the price of this book! I can't wait to make every recipe and will probably be making a batch of the "Wet Curry" every week to freeze and use for quick weeknight meals.
Overall, I am thrilled with this book - it will let our family eat delicious and healthy Indian meals more often than we were able to before. Yippee!

This unique guide to preparing Indian food using classic slow-cooker techniques features more than 50 recipes, beautifully illustrated with full-color photography throughout. These great recipes take advantage of the slow cooker's ability to keep food moist through its long cooking cycle, letting readers create dishes with far less oil and saturated fat than in traditional recipes. Anupy Singla shows the busy, harried family that cooking healthy is simple and that cooking Indian is just a matter of understanding a few key spices. Her "Indian Spices 101" chapter introduces readers to the mainstay spices of an Indian kitchen, as well as how to store, prepare, and combine them in different ways. Among her 50 recipes are all the classics — specialties like dal, palak paneer, and gobi aloo — and also dishes like butter chicken, keema, and much more. The result is a terrific introduction to making healthful, flavorful Indian food using the simplicity and convenience of the slow cooker.

The Everything Slow Cooker Cookbook: Easy-to-make meals that almost cook themselves (Everything Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I visited my 25-year old son in Georgia; I live in Colorado. He works 12 hour days and eats out all the time. I was determined to get him a slow cooker, so he could have a real meal when he got home. I took my cookbooks with me to Georgia. I got the slow cooker and we tried several recipies from this book and another; and, needless to say, he was impressed. Before I left I re-ordered this book for myself (plus another new book of course) and gave him mine. He is pleased, I am happy, and he is eating much healthier now!

The Ultimate Slow Cooker Cookbook: Flavorful One-Pot Recipes for Your Crockery Pot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have tried two recipes from this book and liked the results of neither. The Asian Stir-Fry Stew was no substitute for a stir fried dish and a waste of good scallops. The Hearty Corn Chowder with Peas looked nothing like the accompanying photo and tasted so bad, that it went from the crock pot directly to the garbage disposal. The book has many beautiful illustrations but I am reluctant to waste good ingredients (and money) on a book that is long on promise, touting itself as the 'ultimate', but short on results. For people wanting to create a delicious meal with a short preparation time, 'Crock-It' is a better choice. For those of you who have the time to create more gourmet meals with your slow cooker, 'The Slow Cooker Ready and Waiting Cookbook'is an excellent resource.

When you come home, after a long day at work, wouldn't you love to have a delicious, healthy dinner all ready and waiting, filling the air with an irresistible aroma? You can--by tossing some vegetables, meat, or fish into a slow cooker in the morning and then just letting it simmer into a robust stew, light soup, or pasta sauce. Not only do these recipes require little preparation time, but each has an incredible marriage of flavors that results only from lengthy cooking. And, they're low in fat and sodium, too! You'll get simple instructions on how the equipment works so that you'll feel like a real chef as you whip up such mouthwatering temptations as Grecian Beef Stew, Winter Vegetables with Cheddar and Croutons, Italian Tomato Soup, Twice-Cooked Almond Potatoes, Easy Turkey Meatballs, Rainbow Trout with Orange, Banana-Almond-Maple Custard, and more--all marvelously yummy.
