Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade Slow Cooker Recipes Paperback – October 16, 2006

After reading the reviews here, I was cautious about getting the book. When it arrived, I picked out about 4 recipes and bought the ingrediants. Let me tell you, I have never been so excited about a cookbook!! The recipes turned out great and were very easy to make. It makes enough for my family of 6. Working the night shift makes it hard to fix dinner some times so to be able to put everything in the crockpot before I go to bed and have it ready when I get up is perfect!

I am a busy, working mother without extra time to experiment in the kitchen. Glancing through this cookbook for the first time, I found ideas I've been looking for to serve low-stress, healthy meals to my family. Just knowing what foods are available and work well in a slow cooker is worth the price of the book. I will use improvisation and adaptation with these recipes to fit our personal needs, but this is a cookbook I can actually use for cooking, not just for decorating a shelf. Very family-friendly.

Ok I am not a huge fan of Sandra Lee's show and did not even want to look at her cookbooks. So when I saw this cookbook at a friend's house and read through it and saw some interesting recipes. So I decided to try it. I live alone and it is easy to put something in the crock pot and set the timer so food is ready when I get home. The book is written with simplicity in mind. There is even a cake you can cook in a slow cooker and that is neat. If you are like me and want some simple slow cooker recipes I would give this a try.Overall a good price and fast shipping at Amazon.

I'm a food network fan but I was slow to warm up to Sandra Lee but she has gradually expanded her recipe style to appeal to both novice and more sophisticated cooks by teaching not just a recipe but a method. This cookbook really does that with great recipes with photos that inspire new cooks but also tips for more creative and experienced cooks on how to use their own incredients and recipes.

This cook book is great. The recipes are quick and they taste great. I just spent a whole week cooking her recipes and loved every minute. These recipes get you out of the kitchen fast. I am also giving these recipes to my daughter who is getting married in a few weeks. They are easy for working moms,by the time you get home your dinner is ready for you.

I got this for my husband, and he has loved the recipes. He is our home chef and he loves her simple and easy to make recipes in every area. We liked it so much we bought it for our son & daughter in law for Christmas.

I LIKE IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO PEEL THIS AND CUT THAT BUT THEN AGAIN IT MAY BE CHEAPER THEN BUYING CANNED THIS AND THAT'S. I GUESS IF YOU NEED SOMETHING IN A RUSH AND HAVE THE CANS IN YOUR PANTRY IT WOULD BE OK. THE PICTURES ARE NICE THOUGH.

Sandra Lee always has great meal ideas. My daughter bought a slow cooker as a way to have better meals for their busy family who have three girls that are involved in a lot of sports and activities. Sandra doesn't use exotic items in her meals and they always taste great.
