Chicken Tarragon, Pork Stew in Tomatillo Sauce...Love this book!: I have a bookcase full of outstanding cookbooks. This is one of them. My crockpot is pedestrian--when it dies I will replace it with All-Clad--I never thought I would become a slow cooker enthusiast. But this book has changed my perspective. Yes, there is prep work--this is not a mushroom soup/quartered onion/garlic powder/round steak kind of recipe collection--gratefully. It is classy, stylish, even elegant food-- entrees that you would proudly serve to dinner party guests. Some of my favorites: Chicken... Don't bother: I am not the very best cook in the world however, I do know how to read and follow instructions! Now having said that, I tried 2 very basic recipes from this book and both of them went down the drain literally and that has never happened to me before. One was way, way too hot and the other was much too sweet. I was even thinking of writing to the publisher when Amazon sent this email for the review so save your money and look on the web for recipes!! Birthday gift: Bought it for a girlfriend of mine for her birthday. She made the a chicken and wine recipe and loved it. Very flavorful!! I will be borrowing it to check it out for myself and maybe get my own copy.
