Product Description
Finally a book that combines the fresh, exuberant flavors of great Italian food with the ease and comfort of a slow cooker. Michele Scicolone, a best-selling author and an authority on Italian cooking, shows how good ingredients and simple techniques can lift the usual "crockpot" fare into the dimension of fine food. Pasta with Meat and Mushroom Ragu, Osso Buco with Red Wine, Chicken with Peppers and Mushrooms: These are dishes that even the most discriminating cook can proudly serve to company, yet all are so carefree that anyone with just five or ten minutes of prep time can make them on a weekday and return to perfection. Simmered in the slow cooker, soups, stews, beans, grains, pasta sauces, and fish are as healthy as they are delicious. Polenta and risotto, "stir-crazy" dishes that ordinarily need careful timing, are effortless. Meat loaves come out perfectly moist, tough cuts of meat turn succulent, and cheesecakes emerge flawless.

 Made me use my slow cooker!! July 27, 2010

I purchased this book for myself because I always thought food in a slow cooker tasted like it had been boiled to death. Since trying a few of the recipes, I have purchased 2 more as gifts.
I'm Italian and have always used Grandmom's recipes, which required a long slow prep for some of our favorite dishes.
This book has even had me cooking Tuscan Stew (I don't eat any fish and almost never cook it). Received rave reviews from the group,(all Italians), I cooked the stew for because they knew "Fish was not my Friend"!
Recommended for anyone who has a slow cooker or is thinking about buying one.
Lots of easy and delicious recipes await your purchase!!

Having just bought a slow cooker, I was pleased by the up-front section: "what your kitchen needs." But, while many of the recipes are excellent, I've found I need to do a little "doctoring," especially when it comes to herbs & spices. All in all, a great cookbook for a casual user; someone used to Marcella Hazan will find it lacking.

I just love this slow-cooker cookbook. The ideas and ingredients are fresh and new. I am all for browning and prepping foods before putting them into the slow cooker. They come out with so much more flavor and don't have that "gray" look that most dishes have when cooked in a slow cooker. I especially like that the recipes are Italian and are different than just plain beef stew - but don't get me wrong because she has an Italian beef stew recipe that is wonderful especially with the Italian touch to it.
I recommend this to anyone that loves to cook and loves to try new and innovative ideas with fresh ingredients.
Everything looks so tasty! April 29, 2010

the book breaks down what to expect in a slow cooker briefly, but precisely. The recipes and pictures look very enticing to the point of wanting to try each one. I'm looking forward to my first tasting experience. The only reason for a 4/5 review is because I haven't finished reading the book yet and am not quite sure how easy or difficult each recipe is.
