Brimming with more than 100 quick recipes for your crockpot, Quick Crockery Cooking by Cyndi Duncan and Georgie Patrick of Greeley, Colorado and recently released by Great American Cookbooks in Kosciusko, Mississippi, is sure to become one of your favorite cookbooks.
Duncan and Patrick have done an exceptional job of bringing together recipes that appeal to the everyday cook. Quick Crockery Cooking, if you were so inclined, can be summed up in two words – easy and delicious.
The preparation is easy. Every recipe is easy to prepare and uses ingredients most people have in their pantry. The recipes require no last minute trips to the gourmet store for some obscure ingredient nor do you have to know some kitchen technique that can only be mastered by a professional chef. The authors even provide helpful “footnotes” (cleverly accented with a foot design that matches their “One Foot in the Kitchen” theme) throughout the book. Every recipe contains a nutritional analysis.
The recipes are delicious. From beverages like Spiced Tea to Warm the Soul to soups such as Good Old-Fashioned Corn Chowder; from Guests for Dinner Barbecued Brisket to Chicken Chow Mein with Pea Pods. With this cookbook, you can even prepare side dishes like Zucchini Casserole or Marinated Fruit right in your crockpot. There is a section of 30 “Quick, Quick, Quick” recipes that require minimal prep time with excellent results.
The book contains 168 pages in a lay-flat binding and an award-winning (CIPA) design and is a bargain at $12.95 retail. It is available online from Great American Publishers (www.greatamericanpublishers.com), Amazon, or your favorite online retailer. The book is also available in bookstores and gift shops; if you can’t find it locally, call toll-free 1.888.854.5954 for more information.
