Review:

You don't have to be a "dummy" or even a beginner to appreciate this book. It's filled with lots of terrific slow cooker rrecipes that everyone will enjoy.

If you are new to slow cooking, this book has enough information to make you an expert. Not that it's difficult. Slow cookers can be the busy cook's best friend. Throw in a bunch of ingredients the night before, wake up to a hot breakfast. Put in some ingredients and set your slow cooker in the morning and come home from work to a waiting hot meal.

Like all the "For Dummies" books, this one is organized so you can always quickly and easily put your fingers on the information you need. In addition to recipes, there are tons of slow cooker tips and techniques that will have you using the handy appliance constantly. There's even info on how to convert your own favorite recipes so you can make them with the ease of and convenience of slow cooking.

The recipe collection here is far more inspired than the average slow cooker book on the market. We especially liked the section on using your slow cooker to jump start dinner, which contains basic recipes for a tomato meat sauce, turkey breast, and chicken broth, that can all be varied to make lots of different dishes.

Book sections include:
Revving up Your Slow Cooker; Making the Best and Safest use of Your Slow Cooker; Basic and Delicious Recipes for the Slow Cooker; Jump Starting Dinner with Your Slow Cooker.
