I am so sick of slow cooker recipes that require you to open 6 packages or cans of prepared food, dump them in, and call it dinner. This book is full of real recipes with real food. Some need all day to cook (great if nobody is home all day) and some need only 3-4 hours (terrific weekend meals). This book is saving dinner for my family. I don't subscribe to the CL magazine, but this is the second cookbook I have bought (the other was Weeknight Dinners) and it's excellent. Lots of variety, lots of great fall and winter recipes. Thank you, CL, for putting together a slow cooker recipe for people who like to cook, but don't always have time.

I am a subscriber of Cooking Light and purchased this book to help me feed healthy foods to my family (that didn't require much effort). These recipes are very much CL-like recipes. They tend to have lots of spices/ingredients and taste delicious. I waited to write this review until I could sample a few of the recipes, and I can now resoundingly say that these are fantastic.
I made the following recipes with very few changes:
Curried Pork over Basmati Rice
Company Pot Roast
Provencale Chicken Supper
Sausage Jambalaya
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Chicken Korma
Caribbean-Style Pork
Beef Burgandy (not a fan)
There are some recipes that require you to pre-cook the meat and/or additional ingredients, but there are also recipes where you can just throw everything into your slow cooker without any skillets used. Most of the cookbook has useful recipes like those listed above, and although the book does have a few drinks/desserts, it is not wasteful in those categories.
I hope you give this book a good trial because if you like Cooking Light, you'll love this book. Happy cooking!
