Title: The recipes just aren't very good
Review: I was excited for this book. It's beautiful and has a lot of interesting recipes. I was also excited to use a slow cooker cookbook designed for an avid cooker like myself. The problem is that many of the recipes taste similar or just aren't very good. Some taste terrible and many are poorly executed. It seems like they weren't tested before they were published. I have made the Lumpy Mashed Potatoes, Chicken and Dumplings, Beef and Guinness Stew, Beef Burgundy, Provencal Beef Stew, Chicken Piperade and Italian Pot Roast. The chicken and dumplings is the only recipe I would make again, but I probably won't bother since I have at least two other chicken and dumpling recipes that are vastly superior. I am going to try some recipes from other regions, but based on what I have made so far, I would not suggest buying this book.
