Audra: It is a nice big book with beautiful pictures and has recipes for just about everything. Best cookbook I've bought in several years. Usually I'm disappointed about content and photos. This covers all the best parts of a great cookbook.

cathy bermancathy berman: I love Alex Guarnaschelli and I have made a few of her recipes with success. I just purchased her cookbook “Cook With Me” via Amazon.
She has a few recipes one can make in a Slow Cooker. One of these recipes is Lentil Soup. As you’ll note above, her recipe calls for one (1) lb
of brown lentils and 6 cups water to be cooked on low for 2 hours and high for 4 hours. I did just that and never checked on them until the cooking time ended. Well, as I was getting ready to add the other ingredients into soup there was ZERO liquid. Lentils had absorbed all of liquid and they were SO dry. I checked other Lentil soup recipes and found out the following: Most used 1 1/2 cups brown lentils and 9 cups liquid (most used veg or chicken broth). There is either a huge typo in this book or Alex has a slow cooker that is completely different than the standard. I quickly heated 4 cups of chicken stock I had and added it to the lentil
paste - no joke. After adding the cups of chicken stock, the mixture became pretty liquidity. I knew if I refrigerated it overnight it would thicken and flavors would blend and become more enriched. I just heated it up and it still is too dry. More like a...

S Robertson: As a collector of many cookbooks I can say that this book contains recipes you will actually make! The recipes are clear, easy to follow and delicious and are made with ingredients anyone can find (and probably already has). The book itself is beautifully laid out with nice photos and stories that give you some insight into Alex Guarnaschelli. A great addition to any kitchen.

Steph T.: I love cooking. So I already make a number of the dishes that are in this book. My first reaction was to be a little disappointed. But then I started trying these. And everything is just... better. Nothing is difficult. A lentil soup that I would usually make on the stove top is now done in a crockpot and a single pan -- and it tastes different and BETTER than my usual version. An eggplant dip I've attempted, but is never as good as the restaurant version is now BETTER than the restaurant version.
It's some lemon zest here or browning the onions before adding them to the soup. These things are doable for a home cook, and the difference is just fantastic. I preordered this, trusting that it would be a decent sequel to her first cookbook -- and it's BETTER.

Elizabeth Blankenship: I am already a huge fan of Alex and love her style of cooking. Her cookbook is beautiful and has tons of recipes. I would say most of her recipes require that you have some cooking skills already, but you also don't need to be a trained chef to succeed with these recipes. This book is especially wonderful for cooks (like me) that have gotten bored with their normal recipe rotations and want to try something new and a little challenging. 5 stars!
