I use my crockpot during the winter months more frequently to help me prepare meals. Using my crockpot saves me alot of time and the cook book has some fantastic meals. I've used over 10 meals this month and plan on using more!! This is a great cookbook and I hope to see more recipes soon. I bought a crockpot and the cookbook for my neice and she loves it. I bought another cookbook for a coworker who just had a baby and was complaining about not being able to find time to cook. She is loving the cookbook and her husband is loving the meals! I would highly recommend this cookbook!
