Martha Stewart's Slow Cooker: 110 Recipes for Flavorful, Foolproof Dishes (Including Desserts!), Plus Test-Kitchen Tips and Strategies: A Cookbook

I originally checked the book from the library. I loved the recipes so much, that I purchased my own copy. Dont let the desserts intimidate you, its easy and delicious. Great food.

I love this cookbook! I have made over 1/2 of the recipes since purchasing it.

This cookbook definitely elevated the slow cooker meal. One of the best meals was the Dal Tadka. It was amazing. Other recipes that turned out well included Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Herbed Crème Fraîche, Overnight Oatmeal, Maple Granola, Rice Pudding, and Winter Squash with Shallots and Dates. A few of the vegetarian recipes were bland and I didn't make any meals that contained meat. I'm very happy I purchased this cookbook.

After I watched the Netflix documentary on Martha Stewart, I looked at my local libraries website to see if they had any of her cookbooks. I chose to borrow this one to see if the meals were any good. I was extremely surprised at how good all the meals were! The cinnamon rolls came out okay, but I marveled at the fact you could even do this in a crockpot! Our favorite dishes from this: 1) the lasagna was #1!! A dinner guest would never guess it was made in a slow cooker! 2) The coq de Vin, outstanding!! A little bit more fat than I would have liked from the chicken fat, but I managed to skim some of it off the surface. The chicken literally fell off of the bones!! I was enjoying this cookbook so well I purchased a used copy from one of the vendors on Amazon. If you like coming home to a delicious meal you can make ahead and place in the crockpot, you won’t be disappointed in Martha.

I saw this cookbook in a TJ Maxx, went home and bought two copies through Amazon (one for me; one for my daughter who is a fan of slow cookers). MANY of the recipes looked interesting, and they ARE. Before I ordered, I read a few negative reviews and noted the complaints about steps outside the slow cooker. Now that I own the cookbook, I see what those reviewers meant. I am retired, so for me these extra steps don't matter IF I want to bother and IF I am willing to wash extra pots, pans and utensils. HOWEVER, these recipes decimate the entire concept of a slow cooker, which device is ideal for working people. You THROW ALL INGREDIENTS into the slow cooker, cover it, turn it on and go to work. Come home from work and dinner awaits! Martha Stewart's cookbook has you spending at least a half hour sauteing or otherwise preparing ingredients BEFORE they go into the slow cooker. I don't know about other people, but when I was working I DID NOT have time for all that (nor did I have the inclination to do so early in the morning). Bottom line = interesting and tasty recipes but requiring all sorts of kitchen gymnastics BEFORE the slow cooker, IF you want to make them correctly.

But it is the book to elevate your cooking. Everything that I’ve made so far has taken a little extra effort that a typical toss-everything-in-the-morning-and-forget-about-it slow cooker recipe, but everything has turned out amazing. You can easily entertain with any of these recipes. Start with the Flemish Stew, Duck Carnitas (toasting pepitas is a must), Beef Stroganoff, Halibut with Eggplant relish… This is a great resource in the kitchen. Also worth noting: my 10 year-old twins have loved everything I’ve served them from here.

Seller described the book perfectly. Just one minor red mark on the bottom of the book, otherwise it is perfect. As for the content of the book, all I can say is God bless Queen Martha and her team. Most of the ingredients used are household staples and not overly expensive. I love that the team tested all recipes and gives advice about the most favorable outcomes. I already made the Carbonnade, and I used a tri-tip roast. Came out beautifully. We served some salt potatoes and green beans on the side and have enough for 3 dinners.

Odd recipes, odd ingredients...Tried about 5 recipes, then threw the book out. Easy recipe for stroganoff. Omitted the horrible accumulation of fat from the meat. Not even edible in the final result. A side dish with dates and squash, doesn't tell you to peel the acorn squash...miserable to eat. You are removing the peels as you eat it...Also, way too sweet. Just to name a couple I tried...others were as disappointing. What a screw up this book is.

Love my slow cooker and Martha’s recipes are fab!

so many excellent recipes in this book, use it all the time

Come sempre Martha Steward è una garanzia. Per chi è legato alla tradizione italiana questo libro non piacerà io ho adorato i molti spunti e la semplice ed efficace ricetta del pulled pork.

Some of the recipes are expensive to make.

Martha Stewart is one of the best American Foodwriters' and one of mine too. Her recipes can always be relied upon and the Ingredients are easily sourced. Signed: Zara Mayo.
