Love this cookbook, got it from the library and I am going to purchase it. Tried the tomatoe florentine soup Becky raves about, and fell in love, tried three other recipes and LOVED them all. Its a keeper!

Southern Living cookbooks are the best and this one didn't disappoint. Nice variety, lots of photos, well-organized. Found several new recipes to try and this collection expanded my already pro-slow cooker rotation of favorites.

Great soup ideas. I wasn't impressed with much else. A lot of basic recipies.

This is seriously one of the BEST, most-used cookbooks I have. Some of my faves: the mac & cheese, red beans & rice, french dip and chicken enchiladas... ah, they have all turned out wonderful. In fact, I invite my family over for "crockpot magic" Sundays and 99% of the time it's recipes from this book.

My favorite slow cooker cookbook. Great variation of recipes and most of them would be suitable for dinner guests. I've only had one or two flops in this book and I call them flops because of my families personal taste.

This slow cooker cookbook had some great recipes. Family favorites were
Spicy Vetegable Beep Soup p-15 (tastes alot like chili) Kelley's famous meat loaf p-107 (definitely use the ground round and make a double batch for the freezer)and toasted Herb Rice on p-169.

the best cookbook I have! The Thai Style Ribs and Tortellini Florentine soup are now family favorites. You must check it out! I have not made anything that I have not liked!

Library pick when you are wanting to serve something special for family or friends. Southern Living cookbooks are not effortless to execute but are always favorites!

technically mine is published in 2002 and has different picture on front, but I couldn't find or figure how to add on goodreads

Useful for some classics, but a bit too American Midwest for my culinary tastes.

There are too many creams of chemical soup recipies. I did find a few good recipes, however.
