review 1: This is my favorite cookbook. I feel as though the author has converted all of my grandmother's recipes so that I have time to make them.Originally, I checked this book out of the library; which I liked so much that I purchased the Kindle edition.The recipes often require browning meat, or other preparations that take fifteen to thirty minutes. So if you want to throw everything in the pot and leave for work immediately these recipes will not be practical for you. Also, the recipes produce large quantities. I freeze leftovers in individual portions or reduce the ingredient sizes to fit a small slow cooker.That said, these recipes produce rich, tasty, aromatic food. I love walking into the house to the smell of chicken braising in wine and garlic.
review 2: A... more copy of this book was provided for review.The French Slow Cooker makes my mouth water -- the pictures, the stories, the tricks, and the recipes. Not to mention, it highlights one of the unsung heroes of the kitchen: the slow cooker. Oh la la!The author does a wonderful job of providing tips and techniques for successful slow cooking. She reviews staples of a French pantry and dives right into the recipes with French inspired soups. The author also does a fabulous job of providing a little introduction to each recipe -- these set the atmosphere for each of the recipes. Recipes that caught my attention include:Alsatian Lentil and Bratwurst SoupBeans a la FrancaiseApricot Bread PuddingThis collection of recipes inspires me to run to turn on the slow cooker and create a wonderful meal. Merci, Michele Scicolone! less
