5 Ingredient Slow Cooker Cookbook: Quick and Easy 5 Ingredient Crock Pot Recipes Paperback – February 3, 2015

Bought this for my grandson who is so busy working many a night he is too tired to cook. He either buys fast food or just goes to bed. He needed something simple and quick otherwise I know he isn't going to do it. This book fits the bill with minimal effort and ingredients. Now he can come home to a nutritious tasty meal and it cooks while he is at work. Perfect. Recipes are so simple there is no way someone could mess it up.

I use this cookbook maybe 5 out of 7 nights a week. The recipe are super simple for a busy mom or dad or someone else who just didn't have the time to mess around with complicated recipes. Plus you can really work off of the basic nature of the recipes to come up with your own. It also gives you some basic tips for cooking with crockpots that I never knew. So glad I bought this. It's exactly what I was looking for.

So if you know how recipes generally come together these series are fun, but editing is not consistent so recipes don't always tell you when to add all the ingredients and so you have to make guesses. That being said, there are interesting ideas so it can be worth the dollar or two for the book.

Mother’s Day gift for my daughter learning to cook - she loves it!!!!

If you are a meat eater and heavy carnivore, you'll probably love this. The recipes are simple and straightforward. Personally, I use my crockpot to increase my veggie intake so I found recipes too light on vegetables for my taste.

nice

Purchased this as a gift for my cooking-challenged brother. He loves it and uses it almost every day. The recipes are actually really simple and all taste pretty delicious for the amount of ingredients. The cost on about 80% of the recipes falls in the 10-15 dollar category and makes a few meals worth of food which is an excellent bang for your buck. The shipping was fast and overall the product came and worked as intended. Great buy!

UPDATED REVIEW:I tried to make one of these recipes, and was extremely disappointed. It mentions some ingredients, but then omits what you are supposed to do with them. For a cookbook that only includes 5 ingredients per recipe, they should really tell you what you are supposed to do with them. It is also littered with typos. Obviously no one ever bothered to proofread this book.Horrible quality, rushed to publish, with no one bothering to edit or even read through the book first.DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!Original review:Haven't tried any of the recipes yet, but I am disappointed at the overall selection. Also, there are no pictures, and the whole thing is in black and white, like newsprint. For this price, there should definitely be some images of the dishes so you can see what they should look like. Makes it hard to trust the recipes otherwise. I wouldn't recommend this one.

Found this recipe book to be easy and simple. Mostly uses items you would have on hand or are easy to find in the grocery store. I have tried 4 recipes so far and all were very good. Some I would tweak to my liking however the base recipe is a good start. And yes even a cake was very good.

I like the idea of 5 ingredients per recipe. My current favourite is apple cinnamon oatmeal as I was getting bored of porridge. I am really enjoying experimenting, especially as I turn on the slow cooker and go out to return to a cooked meal. Good fun.

Haven't made many meals from this book, but the ones I did were delicious...looking forward to making more...

Nothing special but received timely and in good condition. Thanks

Happy with product
