The Everyday Low Carb Slow Cooker Cookbook | Slow Cooker Cookbook

With this book you can stay on your eating plan, keep your family happy and make your life easier. The recipes in this book will do all of the above. These meals will be enjoyed by all whether they are eating a low carb diet or not.
 If you are looking for delicious low carb recipes that you can use your slow cooker with, you are going to love this book!  (As indicated by the customer reviewers comments above!)


The Everyday Low-Carb Slow Cooker Cookbook will quickly become your most used and referred to cookbooks.  Customer review KH from California has this to say about the recipes..."And the recipes....Wow! Easy, low carb, and yummy! You've gotta love a scrumptious meal that only requires 5 minutes of prep time, and is ready the minute you get home from work. There are recipe chapters on breakfast and brunch, beef, poultry, seafood, soups, desserts, and more."

Hank, a reviewer from South Carolina describes the recipes as "delicious and easy" and adds "Slow cooking is an ideal way for me to stay low carb and because of the leftovers, lunch has never been easier."  Hank's favorite recipes are the Lemon Chicken and the  French Onion Soup.

NH from North Carolina says her family loves the recipes from this book.  Their "favorite is Italian Chicken, it tastes wonderful and smells great. The Quiches, are a wonderful taste treat. We've tried most of these! This cookbook is the best investment I've ever made."

Acutally the range of Crustless Quiche Recipes (pages 25-27) and the French Toast Casserole recipe are the main reason I purchased this book - my family would agree the quiches are amazing!

And it sounds like review AO from Texas would agree with my reasoning... she had this to say... "My favorite so far is the Creamy Blueberry French Toast Casserole OHMYGAWD. Uses a cup of Splenda but it's INCREDIBLE. I do miss French Toast, but not anymore with this creation."

I found a recipe from The Everyday Low-Carb Slow Cooker Cookbook that the Foodnetwork.co.uk had posted online -Italian Sausage and Peppers. This quick and easy to assmeble recipe is one of my favorites - especially when green or bell peppers are plentiful and cheap, or if you have a supply of them in the freezer from when they were. Well flavored, quality sausages are the key to this recipe - don't be tempted to leave out the garnish - that little touch adds more than you might imagine!

So if you tired of bland recipes from a can of this and a packet of that, or hum drum low-carb protein recipes... then The Everyday Low-Carb Slow Cooker Cookbook is the answer!

Slow Cooker Revolution


Slow Cooker Revolution: One Test Kitchen, 30 Slow Cookers, 200 Amazing Recipes!
 
Wow!  When I first saw this slow cooker cookbook and noticed it was done by "America's Test Kitchen", I was excited, I thought to myself, this won't be one of those dreadful 'dump a can of soup and run' types of slow cooker cookbooks - this would be worth checking out.


I was right!  The quick story of how the America's Test Kitchen cooks make this book, is inspiring.  They have delivered 200 recipes in this edition (and there is no Beef Stroganoff versions 1 through 10 either!)  They describe the book as: Slow Cooker Revolution: One Test Kitchen, 30 Slow Cookers, 200 Amazing Recipes!

It's so much more than a recipe book.  I have been cooking with a slow cooker for more than 20 years, but their combined skills and experience in the kitchen has come up with some ideas to build flavor in dishes that I would never have come up with on my own.  The best part is (other than they build flavor) they don't require the tedious step of get the pan dirty browning the onions, garlic and meat to do it.  Wait till you see how they do, it's ingenious!

Curious?  You bet!  Click on the picture in the box above and go have a look.

Also check out this page I made, dedicated to all things related to Slow Cooker Revolution - check out some of the tips, tricks and hints I've enjoyed learning from the book - and I tracked down some stunning recipe reviews for you too.

Bit of a different post from me today, but I hope you enjoy it!  Be sure to stop by Slow Cooker Revolution and check out the recipes! Enjoy!

The Gourmet Slow Cooker: Simple and Sophisticated Meals from Around the World

This unique, adventurous crock pot cookbook brings an upscale approach to this new-old phenomenon, using fresh ingredients in imaginative recipes that you can create all during a day’s work. Focusing on traditional one-pot meals from various cultures, recipes such as Apricot Chicken from India, MolĂ© Poblano from Mexico, Neopolitan Truffle Risotto from Italy, and Boston Baked Beans from the United States are delicious meals truly fit to serve guests. This crock pot cookbook is a breath of fresh air, and is one of my favorites.

My absolute favorite recipe in this slow cooker cookbook is from the Italy section, the Italian Pot Roast – it's the dish featured on the front cover too! It would seem that pot roast is a big favorite in Italy, just as it is in North America – a cut of beef stewed in a hearty red wine and tomato sauce. In fact, as with many wonderful pot roast crock pot recipes, the longer you cook it, the better it gets, as the meat begins to fall away from the bone and meld into the sauce. It's delicious served over polenta or a creamy mash... you have just got to try it!
