Book Review: Still Looking for a Winner in this Cookbook
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this cookbook was going to be a winner. Upon it's arrival, I quickly scanned the book and found many fabulous looking photos and really promising new ways to use my slow cooker. I chose 3 recipes to start, Santa Fe Sweet Potato Soup; Salmon, Mushroom, Sorrel and Aromatic Rice Bisque; Pork Roast with Apples, Cider and Cream. Only the Sweet Potato Soup is promising with a some tinkering to add flavor. The other two were tasteless.
Not wanting to give up on the great sounding stuff in this book, I gave the Black Bean Chicken Chili and Apricot, Ginger Upside Down Cake. OMG, again, the chili with all the flavorful ingredients was bland. I should have used canned beans and skipped the time in the slow cooker. As for the cake, the recipe says to cook for 2.5 hours on high. Granted my slow cooker might not cook as hot as the recipe tested machine, but 5 hours later, that cake was finally cooked through in the center. The ginger flavor was not to be found.
For all the flavorful ingredients in each recipe I tried, you'd think there would be a lot of layers of flavor going on in the final products. Not so. Everything I've tried was really bland. I'll try a couple more recipes before I completely give up on this book.
