Is there a "best" slow-cooker cookbook?

[Bluroses]

I love the Pillsbury cookbook http://www.amazon.com/Pillsbury-Doughboy-Slow-Cooker-Recipes/dp/0764588567/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1209501817&sr=1-1. I checked it out of the library and renewed it as many times as they would let me before buying my own. I've made a bunch o' these recipes already and have post-it notes marking several more I hope to make soon...

I LOVE the library. I also get the magazines with recipes and country stuff in there. It is easier to do that and then buy what I really like instead of buying and then figuring only a few recipes are what I like.

I do know what you mean about the renew over and again as I do the same. LOL. Now the librarian just reminds me actual due date and when to renew online.

I have gotten back into slow cooking -- and I have 7 cookbooks for slow-cookers. The one that I turn to the most is one I found at a garage sale -- Best-Loved Slow Cooker Recipes c.1998 from Publications International Ltd.

Here's a later edition at Amazon:

There's not a lot of photos, but I've found the recipes have wonderful flavors.

Besides the two regular slow cookers, I just bought a small Rival pot and I love it. Just enough for dinner for two and leftovers to carry for lunch the next day.

Welcome, Gumbo Gal. I see you're brand new to the board.
I look forward to some Crock Pot/BBQ/Cajun recipes. Let me know if you have questions about Zaar.

Hi all, I splurged on myself and bought the 4th crockpot. LOL Actually, no splurge at all, bought it brand new on sale for 5 dollars. It is a Rival 2 QT crock with a warm, low, and high setting. I have been wanting one of these for a long time as most days it is 2 of us, but for holidays I can melt chocolate, heat drinks, or warm up soup/stews for DH and I.

Just thought I would let you know about my bargain.

[Red Apple Guy]

Well, I'm impressed. That's great.

Lora Brody's is GREAT GREAT GREAT. Caramelizing onions in the crock pot using her recipe makes onion soup even simpler.

Judith Finlayson has written a few that are quite good. One deals with comfort food and another with dependable recipes. I recomment them highly.

Another vote for the goddess Lora Brody!

[Red Apple Guy]

But Zeldaz, you voted twice.
Being unfamiliar with both, I enjoyed reading up on them. Both seem good, but I noted Judith has 6 cookbooks on slow cooking. Now, thanks to you two, I have to buy some books.

I didn't realize this thread was from 2008! Lora Brody deserves two votes, but I will refrain from voting three times. Vote early, vote often!

I had forgotten that when I posted my smart aleck comment.
