Hi All,
I was here several months ago asking about slow cookers. I finally purchased
a Cuisinart 4 Quart slow cooker. Now, what I need is a slow cooker cookbook
with recipes for the 4 qt. cooker. I like simple foods, that is, one dish
meals without all those spices and fancy ingredients. DOes a cookbook like
this exist?

IN any case, if a cookbook for the smaller slow cooker doesn't exist I would
be happy with a recommendation for a cook book with just plain recipes for
the slow cooker.. Thanks in advance.

Why not look around in a book store at books for American-type cooking put
out by Betty Crocker, Readers Digest, etc.

Another suggestion is: why not just put some of your own
well-liked/appreciated recipes in the slow cooker instead of the oven or
stove-top.

Then, there's always the library, which you can always check out many that
they may have and find some plain recipes.

Happy cooking,

Dee Dee

Thanks on the Betty Crocker and Readers Digest. Didn't think of them and
didn't realize the type of recipe I wanted was considered American-type.

Haven't cooked in 10 years so would not know how to convert my recipes which
is why I wanted a cook book specific to slow cookers. After I learn what I am
doing I can then try my own long time ago favorites. Tired of what I am
eating so want better.

Do not have the stamina to go shopping or to the library.

Thanks Dee Dee for your suggestions.

Thank you for your suggestions. The above book looks like what I need and the
blog spot look good and I am sure will be a big help to me.

You might consider Creative Crockery Cooking by Ethel Lang Graham.
Available from Amazon at $10. Graham is the daughter of George Lang,
the famous restauranteur and author of what is probably the best
Hungarian cookbook available. As I understand it, she adapted a lot of
his recipes to the slow cooker and used them to create her own book,
CCC. Most of her recipes are quite authentic and straightforward. It
is my fave for slow cooker dishes.

Thanks very much Alex. I am going out to the library tomorrow and check out
about 5 books. I will add yours to the list.

Hi All,

I wanted to thank you all and let you know that I eventually bought "Better
Homes and Gardens so-easy slow cooker" cook book. This book has a lot of
simple recipes for a 4 qt. slow cooker.

I had purchased several of the recommended books, brought them home and took
a good look but ended up bringing them back. They were more complicated than
I wanted.
