Love the book, gotta make that dish!
The Cookbook of the Month for June 2012 will be: The Homesick Texan Cookbook, by Lisa Fain
I have loved cooking from that book, hope I can participate this month!
March 2012 Cookbook of the Month Nominations are Now Open!
I'll third THE OLIVE AND THE CAPER. Love the book and can find cooking time in March.
Who has the Best Po-Boys in South Mississippi?
I love the shrimp and oyster poboys at Bozo's in Pascagoula. And never had a bad meal at Lil Rays. Went to the Schooner once and that was enough. The Tiki has reopened in Gautier and their oyster poboy is delicious, as are their raw and baked oysters fresh out of New Orleans.
Cooking from SLOW COOKER Cookbooks
Love 'em, they're a staple in my house. Use foil in my slow roaster for easy clean up.

Got that cookbook too - haven't looked at it yet. Does anyone have The French Slow Cooker?
Cooking from SLOW COOKER Cookbooks
A lot of what I make isn't toss and go, takes some pre-prep, except for local favorites like red
beans. I love the Goumet Slow Cooker books 1 and 2. Also Slow Cooked Comfort, Southern Living Slow Cooker, America's Test Kitchen (or CI) Slow Cooking, and several others. Just got Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker last week, seems to be good. Love this thread!

Sure. It's a Rival BBQ Pit Counter Top Roaster and Slow Cooker, 88.00 at Amazon. I bought it for the reason you mentioned; I have only the one oven and a small convection oven. Needed it for holidays, etc., but I use it all the time- plus it doesn't heat up the house! It has a rack, yes. I have cooked hams, large roasts, and pulled pork in it, plus really tender ribs and briskets on occasion. It's large, and would be great as a slow cooker for feeding a crowd. I highly recommend it.

Thanks, and I do love it. One of my slow cookers is a slow roaster and I've really enjoyed it. I have 8 or 9 slow cooker cookbooks that I use often. Working split shifts and kinda crazy, but I can't wait for the sharing to begin.

SO glad to see this! I can participate in this one. Love Japanese food but can't find ingredients nearby. I love my collection of slow cooker books and my 4 different slow cookers. Will return later with a few favorites. Thanks MelMM!

2011 COTM (Cookbook of the Month) Recipes Worth Repeating
Great thread, Sal, gonna enjoy this one!
Restaurant Quality Steak (ribeye)
We order our steaks from Allen Bros when they have special offers, they are fork tender and taste like real steak should taste. Expensive, yes; so we cut back somewhere else.

Love this thread! Will report back.
January 2012 COTM: Essential Pepin: Soups and Salads
You're right. Down here no one would consider it gumbo. I was aghast that he called it gumbo! Make it for what it is, but look elsewhere for real gumbo. Cook the rice in the gumbo!? Never. I serve a scoop of rice -over- my gumbo. Jeez.
