small but perfectly formed March 6, 2010
Mr. G. Lonsdale (Lampeter)
I've got several slowcooking recipe books and I've checked out quite a few of the books available on the subject. This is my favourite by far - and it's also one of the cheapest! I bought it 4 months ago when I first got my slowcooker and it's provided me with a very helpful introduction to this method of cooking. Although a compact book (about 17cm x 14 cm), it's packed with mouth-watering, reliable recipes - each with a very good photo - and is produced on good quality paper with a slight gloss that makes the book quite durable.
The structure of the book can be seen from the contents page via the See Inside function, but this doesn't show how the recipes are presented. I like the book's practical, consistent layout with the recipe and photo on facing pages. The recipe page has a left hand margin providing summary information (prep time, temp setting, cooking time & number of servings followed by the list of ingredients in metric & imperial), which I find convenient when scanning through the book. The recipe instructions in the main body of the page are clear and concise. There are 103 recipes, virtually all of which offer an alternative variation, thus providing the 200 recipes described in the title. There's a reasonable number of recipes for vegetarians.
I've used my slowcooker mainly for stews and casseroles, which is what I had in mind when I bought it. This book has also encouraged me to have a go at soups, savoury steamed puddings, pot roast chicken and a few desserts, all of which have turned out well. I'm gradually working my way through the recipes, but so far my particular favourites are Kashmiri butter chicken, mushroom & walnut cobbler, tarka dahl with spinach, dum aloo, and mushroom & chestnut pudding.
This is an invaluable little book and at less than 3 quid, it's an absolute bargain!

good slow cooking March 6, 2010
HJK (Gomersal UK)
A very good little book. I am not one to slavishly follow recipes but this book give you lots of ideas on how to use your slow cooker to best advantage. There are many good recipes which once used will help you adapt your own old favourites. I like the fact that there is a photo for every recipe - always a good point for me. So far I have only tried savoury dishes but there are many ideas for puddings which I am going to try out soon. If you are only buying one book on the subject then I would recommend this one.

Great book at a great price. Loads of recipes that I would never have thought possible in a slow cooker!

excellent little book March 3, 2010
Ms. S. E. BURR (Lancaster, U.K.)
Being new to using a slow cooker, I was aprehensive about suitable recipes as there were none with the leaflet accompanying the slow cooker I'd bought. I sent for this book from Amazon and immediately became excited about the wide variety of recipes in it - all looked easy and not too much faff before actually setting the cooker off and walking away. My favourite recipe,"Pot-roasted Chicken with Lemon" I have made four times now, including once for my daughter and family - a resounding success with everyone. There are nice, clear colour pictures for each reipte too - I can recommend this book wholeheartedly!

Quite a good book, details short but easy to follow. Have tried some recipes and the results have been very good.

How about this for a knitting notebook? The pages are blank so it could be used for anything, of course, but it would do for noting patterns, colour combinations, yarn requirements, etc. And I have the raw materials, so in...

Observations: A Visual History of Cookery is a feast for the eyes
Many of us buy cookery books not for the recipes, but for the mouthwatering imagery that accompanies them. How many copies of Jamie, Nigel and Nigella's numerous tomes rest not on the shelf next to the cooker, dog-eared and spotted with grease, but immaculately preserved on the coffee table? Why cook a recipe when you can salivate over the photograph instead? A Visual History of Cookery takes...

What I see in the mirror: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
My greatest vanity is my skin. It is the colour of gingerbread and, thanks to my mother's genes, smooth and mostly blemish-free The problem with looking in the mirror is that you never know how you will feel about what you see. Sometimes, when my hormones are out of sync, I have no interest in the mirror, and if I do look I think everything is all wrong. Other times, I am quite pleased with w...

An embarrassment of riches
I have so many reviews to write at the moment, I scarcely know where to begin. The trouble is the books are all so damned good! I'll make a start tomorrow morning. In the meantime, a photograph to enliven my blog. We visited our daughter and her husband on Sunday and found that she had colour-coded her bookshelves. I took some photos and produced a collage and think it looks quite nice....

Cover Art | Lord of Chaos by Robert Jordan
Well, this is certainly different! It’s fantastic to see Tor continuing to push these new covers in new directions. Though it’s not exactly practical, it suits the medium, and will be an interesting practice once we see more e-readers with full colour, dynamic screens. Artist Greg Manchess on the cover: I told Irene that I was offering ...

trivial pursuits
Yesterday I rearranged my to-be-read bookshelf. For no other reason than I wondered what it would look like laid out by colour. I was pleased with the results, despite the dominance of black, and the sorry lack of green spines. Faithful Tamara recently questioned my lack of posts. I am an avid reader, but a lazy reviewer. Whenever I make notes on a book as I read I notice how much that act deepens...
