I bought a crock pot cookbook a while ago and wasn't fond of it after trying a few recipes. So, I was on the hunt for another book. I cruised around amazon.com looking at the reviews on the various books and settled on this one; not to mention it has 1400 recipes - there's got to be a good one in it. I really like the recipes in this book!! I couldn't wait to get home and start cooking!! I HAD to make the Mexican Goulash in the picture below. It actually came out just like the picture. We weren't very hungry for dinner last night because we ate a really late lunch, but it turned out pretty good! I'm looking forward to trying other recipes. I'm hoping the soup recipes are good too, we want to freeze them in individual portions so we can grab an easy lunch on our way out the door to work. 
Update: I really like this book because there aren't exotic or unusual ingredients I have to find and/or buy. I made 3-4 soup recipes last winter and they turned out okay. When winter comes around this year, I'll add more spices to taste. The soups were a little bland, but having never made them before I didn't want to add too much the first time. I like pictures when I order food in a restaurant or make something out of a cookbook and this book doesn't have a lot of pictures, but with 1400 recipes that would be A LOT of photos to fit into this already big book.
