Cookbook Reviews

As I've said before, I love cookbooks but don't have the space for them in my kitchen. Therefore, I am a serial cookbook borrower- from the library or friends, it doesn't matter- I read them, write out the recipes that look good to me and send the book back for someone else to enjoy. Here are the latest additions to my non-collection.

A decent collection of slow cooker recipes with a great deal of variety. Some of the recipes barely count as slow cooker meals, & like many slow cooker recipes there's a heavy reliance on canned soups & other pre-made, purchased ingredients, but I still managed to find about a dozen recipes that I would like to make. I find that most slow cooker cookbooks are generally similar with a standard set of dishes but this one did have some ideas that were unique in my opinion. 






 



Alton Brown: EVERYDAYCOOK 

I adore Alton Brown. He is, in fact, on the list of people I'd like to have a martini with (especially if he wants to make the appetizers!). His recipes are always solid & this collection is no exception. Some of these are recipes he's already shared- online or on tv- but there are also plenty of new ideas to explore. He does use some less-than-common ingredients but nothing that seems like it will be too hard to get my hands on. I can't wait to try some of his ideas.
