Slow cooking is the best cooking, just set it and forget it. I love having new recipes to share with my family and (maybe) enjoying leftovers the next day. This cookbook will take you on a magical slow cooking journey and you may never want to use your oven or cooktop again.

Some great recipes in here, with really enticing pictures! I hate a cookbook that’s stingy with pictures - how are we supposed to know what we’re aiming for it to look like?!? Not a problem here. 
There was also lots of really useful information about slow cookers and how to cook in them that will be helpful for beginners and seasoned slow cooks alike.

every type of recipe is covered here, from breakfast to baked goods and from a variety of different cuisines.  the layout of the recipes makes them easy to follow and the pictures illustrate the end result so well and that is really motivating me to work my way through the book and try different and new dishes.

Always looking for new things for the Slow Cooker, this one has some good recipes. The easiest and tastiest recipes, and priceless tips! Thanks to little gems such as precooking onions, reducing the amount of liquid, and extra spices, I’ve made some great stuff so far! I’ve been able to avoid the bland mushiness sometime associated with slow cooker food.

Fresh Flavors for the Slow Cooker promises reinvented meals.  Some of the recipes included ingredients geared toward less than adventurous eaters.  I found many of them had multiple steps.  When I think of slow cooker meals, I want to use mainly just the slow cooker.  I do not mind a few recipes with prep work, but these recipes just do not fit in with my life at present.  That does not make it a bad cookbook.  It is simply not what I need at this point in time.

Excellent addition to your kitchen arsenal! In today’s day and age a cook book might seem unnecessary with the internet and millions of recipes at your disposal, but this one is definitely worth it.  There is a nice variety of recipes for main course lunch or dinner with some easy side dishes, some with a new twist ex: fajita stuffed sweet potatoes!

Amazing cook book for the busy among us who want to come home to a cooked meal. There is a wide array of recipes that require a small amount of prep and then can be cooked in a slow cooker and then served when you're ready. Can't wait to make more recipes from this book.

I have made a few of these recipes from this book and they turned out delicious. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to cook in their slow cooker like me.

A great collection of newly inspired recipes to mix things up and freshen your slow cooker rotations. I appreciated the photographs--this publisher obviously understands that including photographs keeps the reader-appeal high for your book for years to come.

This was such a yummy collection of recipes!!
 Though I haven't tried all of them, my family and I have enjoyed several of the recipes immensely. They are quick and easy to make before I go to work or before I go to bed in the evenings. I truly enjoy these recipes and have bought a copy of this book for myself :) I highly recommend this cook book.

I use my slow cooker a lot but it is always good to move away from your tried and trusted recipes and this book does this! 
This book had some interesting recipes and I like the way Nicki suggested side dishes for the recipes.
I struggled with the different measurements, this being an American cookbook, although there is a conversion chart which I found at the end.
I also had to look up what some of the ingredients were, English names being different to American. and in some cases think about what I could substitute for ingredients only available in America.
The groupings of recipes were well thought out. I tried some of the recipes on my family and they were well received.
Overall I would recommend this book as the recipes were original and different. The challenges of the different measurements and substituted ingredients actually added to the fun and made the book stand out.
Thank you to Netgalley, Storey Publishing and Nicki Sizemore for letting me read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have slow cooker but rarely use it, because I have exhausted my repertoire. When I saw this on Netgalley I hoped it might provide some inspiration; low and behold it did!
This is packed with delicious and easy to follow recipes. I've tried a few things now and I found the instructions simply put and well laid out. I thought the pictures accompanied the text well; they looked like something I could recreate-not too fancy!!! This is a book that I'd buy for myself and use again and again.

This is one of those cookbooks that belongs in any home that uses a slow cooker.  The recipes were easy to follow, delicious and varied enough that one would turn to it again and again.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author Nicki Sizemore, and the publisher Storey Publishing for a free ARC which allowed me to read and honestly review this book.  I definitely recommend this one.

A great easy to follow cook book for slow cookers. I had a slow cooker many years ago but I never really used it to it’s full potential. Recently my cooker broke and while awaiting a new one I purchased a new slow cooker to try again. I found this book to be the best one out of the ones I looked at for easy to follow recipes. There are recipes for all types of meat and even fish. I’ve not tried out the salmon recipe yet but will do soon. This book even gives you great tips for example if you’ve no buttermilk how to use fresh milk with lemon juice instead. Being in the UK some of the things mentioned are USA makes so slight swaps needed but other then that a great book.
