Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two: For the Small Slow Cooker

By Beth Hensperger
Harvard Common Press - 2006

This is the book that really turned me onto slow cooking. I actually got excited reading it! I went out and bought a 1-1/2 quart and a 3 quart clow cooker, in addition to the ca. 5 quart I already had kicking around. I think the main virtue of this book is that it reflects today's eclectic food tastes, and gives you ideas and a framework within which to incorporate those food tastes into a busy work life. The amounts are good for two with at least one meal of leftovers. That said, because of personal taste I wouldn't follow the recipes with exactitude. I have made quite a number of these recipes (pre-Cookbooker) but did not make notes.
