The Frantic Woman's Guide to Feeding Family and Friends: Shopping Lists, Recipes, and Tips for Every Dinner of the Year Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The last thing I needed was another cookbook to take up shelf space, but I needn't have worried. This one hasn't been "put away" since I bought it. That's because there are no long lists of exotic ingredients. No elaborate preparations. Just simple, quick and easy kid-friendly dishes that can be prepared either in advance or on a tight schedule. Some of the recipes have already become favorites, already requested again by my family. Time-saving shopping lists and useful tips also come in handy. The author's informal, friendly style evokes the feeling of a girlfriend sharing recipes and tips over coffee at the kitchen table. FWGFFF is a winner for frantic moms on the go and the frantic families who love them.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Slow Cooker Cooking Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've always found the Complete Idiot's Guides to be a mixed-bag; some I liked and some I didn't. This one, I liked very much! This book claims to have over 220 recipes, and I believe it, there are too many to count. First off, the book is organized into seven sections - 1) A Fast Course in Slow Cooking (a good quick start), 2) Enticing Appetizers, 3) Satisfying Soups, 4) Stews to Savor, 5) Crock Around the Clock (main courses), 6) Healthful but Homey (seafoods, vegetarian and others), and 7) Grand Finales (desserts). Each of the recipes comes complete with estimates on preparation and cooking time plus number of servings, list of ingredients, step-by-step directions, and some extra little hints and warnings.
My wife and I found this to be a nice book, with easy to read and understand instructions. So far, we have tried to Chicken Paprikash, and Short Ribs with Rosemary - both of which were excellent. So, if you are also on the go, and want to use some slow cooking to save time, then get this book!
