This cookbook has a big collection of recipes. Its strength is the diversity of dishes covered, and I bought it mostly for its breakfast recipes (lots of porridge, grains, even jook!). However, I have a large crock pot, and do not need that much porridge! Other than the usual sort of crock pot recipes (soups, stew, and chili), this book includes chapters on puddings, cakes, and breads, another chapter on fruit desserts, and yet another on fruit butters, jams and chutneys.
The pizza sauce recipe is excellent, and some of the pasta sauces have been memorable. However, some of the dishes are rather bland, and most are not memorable. It would be a good book for someone who is unfamiliar with slow cookers and somewhat new to cooking, but I don't think these recipes rise to the level of gourmet.
This cookbook has a long first chapter with detailed slow cooker instructions. It even includes high-altitude adjustments.
