I like that this cookbook branches out into flavors that aren't often seen in slow cooker cookbooks, but I also am not inclined to make beef with broccoli in a slow cooker when it can be made on the stove in 20 minutes or so. ( )

I love this cookbook! I've already made several recipes and they've been delicious. They tend to be heavy on sweeteners, especially honey, so keep that in mind if you're looking to do a special diet. But that said most are pretty healthy and easy to prepare and for someone who's not a picky eater there's a lot to enjoy. ( )

I love using my slow cooker and I love Asian food, well most of it anyway.
This cookbook gives you a selection of recipes from Beef and Broccoli,
General Tso's Chicken, all favorites of mine and hubby's.

There is a section for One Pot and Skillet Meals, another favorite way to
cook my favorites. Chicken Chow Mein, Classic Fried Rice, and Teriyaki
Honey Shrimp Soba Noodle Bowls to name a few.
The next section, Skip the Stovetop features a lot of sandwich, wraps and
taco's. Who can not have their favorite Asian spicy recipes, this section features,
Szechuan Beef, Dan Dan Noodles and Fire Cracker Chicken Tacos.

Another section, Meatless Mondays, features meatless recipes that are
like side dishes like Chinese Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, Mapo Tofu, and Thai
Red Curry Vegetables. All great sounding recipes.

This next section is my favorite as I love to make soups, in the winter, I
make a pot each week. Asian Beef Stew, Chinese Hot and Sour Soup,
and Vietnamese Pho Beef Rice Noodle Soup. Yum!!

And what cookbook could not be complete without a desert section?
Mandarin Orange Cheesecake, Matcha Green Tea Cake and Mango
Coconut Tapioca Pudding.

The book wraps up with a detailed section on slow cooker basics, how to
stock your pantry for Asian cooking, acknowledgements and about the
author and a very concise index.

So after perusing this awesome cookbook, I do intend to try a lot of the
recipes. Easy to follow directions, great descriptions and wonderful
photograpy make this a great cookbook to have. ( )
