One of my favourites - By: thegoodbook, 06 Oct 2008 
This book sets out to give recipes that are nutritious. This sounds dull, but actually the food is very good & the little bits of information about minerals & vitaminsin food were very useful. I like cooking, & this is a 'cook's book'; she gives little tips on cooking, & - as a fairly experienced cook - I did find them helpful. Yes, she does tell you to roast & grind your cumin, but one can always take short cuts. Preparation does not take ages. Fryingin a skillet is the norm, but then how would you get an intense flavour without it? The beauty is that there are no tins of condensed soup etc (well, yesin the tuna casserole, but I forgive her that). This is proper, healthy food. The one element that didn't suit me was the enormous vegetarian & vegetables section, but there are still lots of recipes apart from those. And lovely large print. Highly recommended
Healthy: Slow Cooker Recipes - By: Dr. Tami Brady, 08 Oct 2007 The Healthy Slow Cooker contains over 100 healthy recipes that can be made using a crock pot. These recipes include main meal dishes for every meal as well as deserts. Each recipe is complete with full instructions, tips, make ahead ideas, & nutritional information. There is even a chart at the back of the book detailing the American & Canadian Diabetes Association Values of each dish.
Like many people, there are days when I just can't face making a meal after a long hard day. At that point, nutrition pretty much goes out the window & fast food becomes an option. I like the slow cook alternative, particular those delicious, quick to prepare recipes that I can throwin the cooker at the start of the day & have ready for supper. That these meals are actually nutritious is an added bonus. Any recipe that actually reduces chaos & that my family actually likes to eat gets high marks from me.
