With so many recipes to choose from, this book holds great promise for me to improve my repertoire of slow-cooked meals.

I cook a lot of crockpot meals and am always looking for new recipes. The best thing about this book was, I have almost every ingredient in my kitchen that is in these recipes. One of our new favorite recipes is the chicken mole. Who knew it was so easy to make and with ingredients that anyone would have. Though there is only about 10 pictures in the whole book, I was still able to picture what the final recipe would look like. I also found the ladies Facebook and website, where many of the recipes were listed with pictures, as well as many other recipes that I loved as well. This would make a great gift to go with a crockpot for any newlywed.

A bog-standard slow cooker cookbook. Not a bad collection but not super-inspired either :c)

A good place to start if you've not used your Crock Pot much :c)

I am a devout crock pot user and I found a lot of new ideas for different meals in this book. I like that there are recipes that are good for everyday meals, but there are also some that would work for a fancier dinner type event.

The Crock-Pot Ladies Big Book of Slow Cooker Dinners is a wonderful addition to my cookbooks. I am always looking for healthy, easy meals to make for my family and this ticks all my boxes. It includes healthy, easy to follow, yummy recipes for the whole family to enjoy.

I also found the additional information in the cookbook with some great tips and tricks extremely helpful. I only rediscovered my love for my slow cooker after having children and now I'd be lost without it. I meal prep the night before, throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning and don't have to rush at the last minute to prepare a meal during the witching hour. This book adds to the variety I can offer my family too.

Thank you to #netgalley and the authors and publisher for the copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

What an excellent collection of crock pot recipes. The book is laid out so that it is easy to understand. It has beautiful color photos to display the dishes. I would definitely add this to my recipe book collection. Worth every penny.

Great book for how to ise a slow cooker. Also has great recipes for you to ise for the whole family!

I can't wait to try several of these recipes! Great color photos accompany the recipes in this outstanding collection.

I know that instant pots are the rage, but I am still using my slow cooker and have not invested in the instant pot and so I was excited to get this arc. There is a lot of helpful information at the beginning of the book about slow cookers, freezing food, and troubleshooting. I'm really excited to try some of the soups, chilis and stew recipes. I only wish that they had nutritional information included, otherwise, it's a great book.

What a wonderful, easy book to use in the modern day kitchen! Who doesn't love to come home to a warm, aroma-filled kitchen- and to a delicious, one-pot meal? I've already tried two of the recipes, and can't wait to make more of these crock pot meals.

The ladies begin by informing you as to what kind of crockpot you need and why it is important. You are also given instructions on how to use a slow cooker and what the temperatures are for cooking different types of meats.
This is not a healthy cookbook, it is a comfort food cookbook!
There are recipes for Spicy Jalepeno Popper Dip using different types of cheeses and peppers and bread crumbs, Everything You Love About Pizza Dip using mozzarella, parmesan cheese, Italian sausage and pizza sauce and a Southwestern Creamy White Chicken using chicken, broth, Great Northern Beans and corn that sound delicious and warming on a cold winters’ day.
Many of the recipes use frozen, fresh or easy to precook foods that make dinner preparation easy and fun to do!

Some very interesting recipes in here. very clear simple instructions for each one. Some very useful information about the different types and styles of cookers

I have died and gone to heaven, a 300+ page of recipes all designed for my favourite appliance in the house, my slow cooker! I love using the slow cooker when cooking for my family, especially given the many time constraints in our daily lives. The recipes in this book are diverse, family friendly, user friendly and to be quite honest, all sound delicious. I had not previously heard of the Crock-Pot Ladies but have now signed up to their facebook page and also applied to join their online group. I look forward to trying out a lot of the recipes in the book. Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and Ms. Kennedy, Ms Handing and Ms Ince for the opportunity to review The Big Book of Slow Cooker Dinners in exchange for an honest review.

A fantastic start to my diet after reading this cook book, I went out and brought a slow cooker. I loved the bright colours in the pictures and bests of all the hint and tips though out the book.
It totally opened up my thought on slow cooker, I have tried some of the soups which I chucked everything and then went to work, the smell when I walk though the door after work was so tempting I had to eat it straight away. I love the hints from the author when cooking for picky children, they really helped. This has definitely opened up my dinner ideas

Loved this cookbook! The slow cooker is a wonderful way to have a delicious meal with little work and I loved all the recipes and tips. Highly recommend!

The Crock-Pot Ladies Big Book of Slow Cooker Dinners truly lives up to its title as the book contains plenty of varied recipes ranging from Chicken to game such as bison. At the start of the cookbook you will find a Slow Cooker's Buyer's Guide that details how to select a slow cooker. Later you will read a size guide that tells about the different sizes of slow cookers and how many people they will serve. For example a 1 to 3 quart slow cooker is perfect for 1 to 2 people while a 8 quart or large slow cooker will serve 9 or more people.

Review written after downloading a galley from NetGalley.

The Crock-Pot Ladies Big Book of Slow Cooker Dinners is just that. It is 300+ pages of scrumptious and mouth watering recipes. I have bookmarked more recipes than I probably have time to make! All the recipes, as the title suggests, are made in the crock pot. The chapters include: appetizers, dips, stews, chili, soups, pasta, casseroles, poultry, beef, venison, bison, pork, lamb, veggies for dinner and sides, and finally desserts. There is advice on what crock pot to buy, how to test your crock pot, how to clean your crock pot, well I guess you get the idea. I don't think the authors left anything out. It has arrived for the perfect time of year when we all would like to have something hot waiting for us when we come home.
Thank you to the publisher, the authors and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

There was a time when I would have bet money on never owning or using a crock-pot. Then reality set it, and a job that had me out of the house by 4 am and often not home until 5 pm happened, and making dinner meant picking up take out on the way home. Not very healthy and I knew something had to change, but what was the answer? I thought about the crock-pot I never thought I would own, read a cookbook to see how I could use it, bought one, and never looked back. Meals were now in my control and often I would make enough to freeze the leftovers and have frozen healthy choices( sorry Pizza Guy on speed dial, but it was just time to say goodbye).
That first crock-pot lasted for years and when it finally died, I went right out and got a newer model. I still use it often and I continue to get cookbooks to try new recipes. This book is family oriented( large portions) but it is easy enough to either adjust the recipe or to once again have leftovers. There are over 300 recipes and they are arranged in sections: Appetizers and Dips, Soups,Broths,Chilis, and Stews, Grain, Pasta Dishes, and Casseroles, Chicken,Turkey, and Game Birds, Beef,Bison,and Venison, Pork and Lamb,Vegetable Main Courses,Vegetable Sides,Desserts and Sweet Treats, and Staples:Homemade Stocks, Sauces, and Seasoning Mixes. The Introduction has useful information on buying and using a slow cooker, which I went through quickly, but if it was my first one, it would have been quite helpful.
Every recipe does not have a picture, but for me, a slow cooker recipe book is the only one where I don't mind. Everything goes in together and comes out together, so I don't need visual validation that I have correctly followed the recipe. What I did miss was nutritional information. Granted, I know some of these recipes were not going to work for me since for example, I don't use canned cream of anything soup, but, it is nice to have that information without having to look up individual ingredients. So far, I have made the Chicken, Butternut Squash, and Quinoa Soup, the American Beef Goulash, and the Healthy Black Bean Brownies. The recipes are straightforward, don't have any hard to find ingredients, and the recipes I tried tasted great!
Whether you are thinking of getting a slow cooker or have been using one for years, there is good basic information as well as a nice variety of recipes.
I received a DRC from Quarto Publishing Group – Harvard Common Press through NetGalley.

My Crockpot is my most-used kitchen appliance and has been for many, many years. I have a million cookbooks for it, but this is definitely a standout! Loved the layout and great pictures! Although there are only 2 of us, I like that the recipes make a lot because he leftovers are excellent!! Can't wait to try more!!!
