surprisingly great 5 out of 5 stars.
11 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I got this based on recs at another site. honestly, I was underimpressed when I read the recipes. I've been using a crockpot for several years and consider myself a relatively good cook without using recipes much...the recipes to me appeared to be very similar to what I already throw together. but...the minor changes have helped me to make the most delicious food...in fact, yesterday I made the brisket with picante sauce (I really didn't want to make it but had already purchased the ingredients) oh my gosh, it was delicious. I would highly recommend this everyone - even get it for people as a wedding gift. I am so glad I gave this a chance...

You Will Learn Basic Crockpot Skills 2 out of 5 stars.
7 of 9 people found this review helpful.

Hoffman's recipes sound delicious, but in fact are often flavorless. If you use her recipes, you WILL learn slow cooking tecniques (stacking meat in the pot, thickening sauces, etc). But after 7 years of using this book, my notes on the recipes have a continual refrain: "Needs more pizzaz"; "Add vegetables"; "Flavors need more depth".

Editorial Review:

This cookbook invites culinary creativity. The reader is encouraged to use these recipes only as a foundation, adding a pinch of his own ingenuity to the pot.

Great cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

A fantastic cookbook; the recipes are very tasty (the chicken with garlic, carrots, potatoes, and basil is one of my all time favorite dishes out of any cookbook), and the author provides a "countdown" of activities ... if all goes well, you should be able to provide a full meal in 60 minutes!

I enjoyed the book with a few reservations. 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Yesterday I started reading "How to Boil An Egg" by Jan Arkless. In the Introduction Arkless states she originally wrote this book for her son when he left home for college. Later on that page she wrote, "Also, fresh fruit or milk is far better for you than soft drinks or alcohol." When I saw that sentence I just knew this book had been written by a mother. Arkless made this book to be a basic self-book aimed at singles who know nothing or very little about cooking and meal planning. In addition to instructions on how to boil an egg she tells you how to fix eggs in other ways--frying, poaching, scrambling and how to make a grilled cheese sandwich. The author writes well and I found it fun to read through her book. I think I will fix her recipe for Murphy's Eggs tonight for dinner. I am pleased with the book and happy I got it but I must admit I am a little bit disappointed with it also. On the cover the subtitle promises, "...and 156 other simple recipes for one." But so many of the recipes are similiar--like the one recipe repeated over and over with slight variations. For instance she put in four recipes for Welsh Rarebit. I wish that the first time she had put in the recipe she had added a note at the end saying, "When making this dish you could ..." Also within the book there is an awful lot of white space. There is one recipe per page and up to a point that makes sense, but not when the recipes are very short. Her recipe for poaching an egg is on one page and frying one is on the next page. She has a large section on vegetables and each vegetable is given a separate page even when the text has only three or four lines. Instead of the 240 pages this same book could easily been issued with 150 pages without making the book harder to read. If she had combined some of the recipes or put more text on a page she could have filled the space with more recipes. The dessert section is especially skimpy and in my way of thinking that is a major shortcome! In her "Snacks and Savories" section she has a page devoted to pizza but she tells how to add to commercial pizza. But making a pizza is so easy to do she could have put in a few recipes with some of the space she saved. This book is good and I do not know if I really can blame the author or the publisher for its shortcomings. I think it is possible Arkless wanted to put out a book with more recipes but the publishers convinced her to hold back material for a second book. And if next year I see an advertisement for "More How To Boil An Egg..." I will know what happened. But I think I will blame her son for not stopping his mother from putting in the line about milk and fruits drinks being better for you than alcohol.
