MY REVIEW

I’ve been wanting to learn to make new dishes in my slower cooker for some time now. I make a pot roast with potatoes, baby carrots, and onions that is amazing (if I do say so myself). Other than that, my slow cooker sits empty. I think author Phyllis Good has changed that for me!

In the beginning of, STOCK THE CROCK, author Good gives readers/cooks a personal introduction that is lovely. I enjoyed getting to know about her, to get the feel of the writer behind the book.

After the introduction the author shares the symbols she uses to help readers find and make such variations as Gluten-Free, Vegan, Paleo-Free, and more. Tips on note taking that I absolutely loved (if you pass your book on, or leave it to the next generation, you will see why. Then on to Slow Cooker Fundamentals, wonderful tips and tricks, like baking in your slow cooker, and more!

This book is filled with mouthwatering colored photos of just about every recipe listed, making them so very real to the reader that the smells practically emanate from the pages.  

Finally the recipes. There are some amazing dishes between the covers of STOCK THE CROCK. I will most certainly be trying some myself. Soups & stews, vegetarian, pasta, poultry, seafood, desserts! You name it, and you’ll find it. Just a few of the great dishes you’ll find are . . . Beef and Barley Stew, Creole-Style Red Beans, Veggie P0t Pie with Biscuits, Chiles, 4-Cheese Artichoke Dip---or Pasta Sauce, Honey Baked Chicken, Peppery Turkey Tenderloins with Apples, Shepard’s Pie, Holiday Ham with Apricot Glaze, Eggs and Shrimp, Baked Corn, Scalloped Potatoes, Peach & Berry Cobbler, Cream Cheese Pound Cake, and your own homemade Yogurt.

STOCK THE CROCK was everything I hoped for and more. I was really surprised with the diversity of choices. If you’re looking to make more use of your slow cooker, this is the cookbook for you.
