Martha Stewart Slow Cooker Cookbook

JudithV · ‎03-10-2010

I ordered this cookbook when Martha was on a few weeks ago. It arrived today. I saw the box and was wondering what it could be, because I only remembered ordering the cookbook. Well, it was the cookbook. Bent in half and stuffed in a small box! I have ordered many books before, and have never had one show up like this! Did anyone else have this problem with their book? I was going to keep it anyway, but it got all ragged on the edges from being stuffed in the box, so it has to go back. I really hate returning things! This is the first time I have ever had a packaging problem with the Q.

@JudithV I sent you an email about this situation. I'm sorry that happened.

I got mine too. There's some recipes in there, that even if we have never had, it might be fun to try. I like the way the new cookbooks look. Smaller in height, but great pictures to give you an idea of what they might look like. It won't be a "go to" book, but maybe a special occasion one. After all, they need to put out some other things to try, beyond, pizza, meatloaf, spaghetti, etc., stuff we already do. So this may be a challenge of sorts.

I received mine too but from Amazon. The recipes are definitely more involved than I might want for everyday cooking, but will be great for special occasions. Love that each recipe comes with a picture.

@JudithV I bought it at amazon, no shipping and only $17.00.

That's funny I was wondering what was in the small box too. I didn't have the problem, but on the fence of this whole slow cooker cookbook for sure.

Read the reviews so far, and one was funny and dead on...

" I really looked forward to getting this slow cooker cookbook. What a disappointment ! In the presentation, David or Martha one should have mentioned that this was a slow cooker cookbook for gourmet cooking.
None of these recipes are practical. I didn't expect to have to purchase octopus for a slow cooker meal. Now you know what I'm talking about. I thought it was ridiculous. I looked at a lot if the recipes hoping to find something that would interest me, and I didn't found one recipe that I would even try. I have other Martha Stewart cook books that are nice with many delicious recipes. This was such a let down that I don't care if the book was free - I'm sending it back. If you are into gourmet slow cooker cooking this book is for you. If not - don't waste your money. "

I mean seriously, I like the size of the cookbook, but that review said it all.

Totally agree, these recipes are ridiculous for the 'normal' cook. There were ingredients I've never heard of (granted, not much of a cook), but plenty of 'tips' stating items can be ordered online if not in your grocery store. The octopus recipe was just over the top!

Got mine from Amazon and are returning: when I mentioned the slow cooker octopus recipe to the c/s lady, even she couldn't refrain from laughing!
