The few recipes I tried did not turn out like the picture (which is not normally the case when I cook), and I ultimately questioned if they left out some instruction or ingredient. Several of the other recipes I looked at contained typos which led me to question the editing process. That being said, I didn't cook through the entire cookbook, but definitely felt it was not worth owning and was glad I had merely checked it out from the library. I don't have the book here at the moment, so unfortunately I can't give specifics.betsynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5167264669367662337.post-4818233720604895072010-02-24T04:14:36.000-05:002010-02-24T04:14:36.000-05:00I only made one recipe from the WS cookbook, but f...I only made one recipe from the WS cookbook, but from that experience, will agree with you, Betsy. The recipe had very good flavor, but the cooking time was so short that it left the meat (in a stew/pot pie type recipe) still quite chewy rather than melt-in-your mouth tender. I decided not to post the recipe, but I did enjoy looking at all the pictures and being inspired by new combinations.The Cooks Next Doornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5167264669367662337.post-48393266008463349332010-02-24T11:12:48.000-05:002010-02-24T11:12:48.000-05:00I love using my slow cooker and have checked out n...I love using my slow cooker and have checked out numerous cookbooks from the library with recipes for it. The best one I found was The 150 Best Slow Cooker Recipes by Judith Finlayson (her vegetarian slow cooker book was also great).<br><br>Her recipes are not as simple as some which only require dumping all the ingredients into the cooker. Most require browning meats and the aromatic vegetables, but I've found them all to be very worth the effort.<br><br>I also agree with you about the Williams-Sonoma book. I was quite underwhelmed with it, and I've loved some of their other books.Sheilahttp://seasonedjoy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5167264669367662337.post-44574415910307877262013-01-11T00:31:36.000-05:002013-01-11T00:31:36.000-05:00online cookbooks are quite convenient since you ca...online cookbooks are quite convenient since you can browse a lot of them online.:<br><br>My own blog<br><img src="http://www.melatoninfaq.com/melatonin-is-it-more-than-just-a-sleeping-aid/ ">Delbert Doppnoreply@blogger.com
