Love it!.......2007-01-11
My fiance and I have this cook book and we especially love the chili and the pot roast recipes. We have also gotten this as a gift and recommended recipes to our family members. It is very easy to follow and actually has food that you will eat!
Betty Crocker Crock Pot Review.......2002-10-15
I thought the book is very dated, and the receipes lacked flair. I would have liked a book that is more recent, with nutritional breakdowns included.
A good start.......2002-02-18
I just got a slow cooker for Xmas the recipes are easy to follow and so far tasty. A good introduction to my new way of cooking hearty meals in my busy life.
One of my favorites!.......2001-09-23
I have three top favorite crock pot cook books and this is one of them.
This cookbook is well organized with easy to follow recipes. The dinners turn out well. Most of the meals use on hand ingredients with very few exotic requests.
I am a big fan of crock pot cooking. If you are looking for a good book with lots of yummy recipes, this is one of my favorites.
Used this for years--lots of yummy recipes.......2001-01-16
This is a book filled with simple crock pot recipes that my family loves. In fact, my husband has asked me to cook Apple Pork Roast & Vegetables when we hosted his family for dinner. I make Lentil-Mushroom Soup frequently and Chicken & Sausage Gumbo is also good. If you watch your fat intake, you will need to adjust the recipes--use low fat meats, cut out the recommended oil, etc. Overall worth having in your crock pot cookbook collection.
Book Description
Imagine coming home from a long day at work to an appetizing dinner that's ready to serve. The Crockery Cook puts that within reach of every family. The book boasts 120 terrific slow-cooker recipes from around the world, created by popular cookbook author Mable Hoffman. Thanks to these great recipes, busy cooks can throw together a few ingredients in the morning, turn on the Crock-Pot, and let dinner simmer safely throughout the day.
For added ease, Hoffman reveals her ingenious cooking "shortcuts," and organizes the chapters around cooking time. She also includes menu suggestions and recipes for appetizers, soups, beverages, and desserts to accompany the main course. A small chart specifying the amount of calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, cholesterol, and sodium per serving accompanies each recipe.
The Crockery Cook even provides tips on browning, sauces and gravies, food presentation, and entertaining. It's a terrific boon for working singles, two-career couples, or retirees who are always on the go.

Crockery for the Elitist.......2001-02-19
Perhaps my title is a little strong, however I feel this book was designed for cooks proud of using the crock-pot for specialized meals. The recipes call for ingredients not on every grocery store shelf. This book is great if prize winning crock meals are something you want to tout @ mealtime. If I wanted to be boastful about my meals, I wouldn't be using a crock-pot! I wanted a cookbook for easy, quick, ordinary crock meals. I am searching to find a crock cookbook without the pomp and circumstance, one that is common, traditional, everyday. I would endorse this book if fancy crock cooking were your desire. It is terrific for that purpose.
Highy recoomened, lots of variety, has nutrition info.......2000-01-31
I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to make delicious, easy to make meals without a lot of time & effort. Recipes include desserts, soups, vegetables & main meals. It is printed in blue ink with a few full-page color photos.
The book starts out with menu suggestions & crockery basics. Great tips for thickening sauces, browning & enhancing presentation are also included.
Conveniently, recipes are then arranged by cooking time from less than 6 hours to more than 10. I love that there are tips to lower fat content & that nutritional information is included for each recipe.
There is a lot of variety here including traditional favorites like beef stew & chicken soup as well as international delights such as tamale pie & Thai pork. There are also great dishes for entertaining such as bread pudding & Italian roll-ups.
Great book!!!! Necessary for anyone with a croc-pot!!!!.......1999-04-28
As a single man that works hard, i found that a slow cooker is a great way to have good meals. This book is a MUST for anyone that uses a croc-pot.

Book Description
With over 100 colour photographs, Folk Furniture of Canada's Doukhobors, Hutterites, Mennonites and Ukrainians offers a stunning visual record of the culture and values of these four ethno-cultural groups. Authors John Fleming and Michael Rowan take an interpretive approach to the importance of folk furniture and its intimate ties to people's values and beliefs. Photographer James Chambers beautifully captures both representative and exceptional artifacts, from large furniture items such as storage chests, benches, cradles, and tables, to small kitchen items including spoons, breadboxes, and cookie cutters.

Especially recommended for college-level courses in international politics.......2006-04-28
Plenty of international development projects are fostered in richer nations and fail in poorer ones: is it because these regions are inherently corrupt, or because developers don't really understand how these developing nations work? THE POWER OF GREED: COLLECTIVE ACTION IN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT analyzes the common problems involved in community development projects, challenging the routines and ideas of international development agencies and showing how individuals in developing nations often don't see their individual needs addressed in such projects. Chapters survey conceptual frameworks of success, strategies, and both failures and achievements in light of these ideas. Especially recommended for college-level courses in international politics
Understanding from a Real World Practitioner.......2005-09-25
The amount of treasure expended as aid to developing countries since World War II has been immense. If it had worked, there should have been no poverty left in the world, democracy should have developed everywhere, and the whole world a better place to live. Needless to say, it hasn't worked out that way. Instead we are seeing countries facing massive amounts of debt that will never be repaid.
Dr. Rosberg is a Canadian living in Belize. This book reflects what he has learned from his years of observing and working with developmental projects. He says that for a project to be successful, an individual's self-interest (which he calls greed) has to tell him that doing these things will be beneficial to him. Dr. Rosberg says that the sterile debates of morality associated with wealth generation have to be laid aside. This is a pragmatic book that looks at the world of developing companies as he finds them, not as something abstract as might be viewed from an ivory tower.
This is an interesting point of view that looks at modern problems in a way that almost relates back to the work of Adam Smith many years ago.

George Tice: Selected Photographs, 1953-1999 (Pocket Paragon Series)
-
Paterson II
ASIN: 1567920764 |
Product Description
Fields of Peace unites two remarkable talents in masterful volume. The text, written by the late Millen Brand, illuminates the history of the Pennsylvania German sects who were united in their rejection of infant baptism. He provides a sympathetic portrait of these fascinating people (often erroneously called "Pennsylvania Dutch") who emigrated from Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, found a home in the sympathetic commonwealth of William Penn, and settled primarily in and around Lancaster County. Primarily Amish and Mennonites, these are quiet and modest people whose lives of determined simplicity and whose passion for land seem totally anomalous in modern America. They continue to live lives of determined simplicity and agrarian focus that have all but disappeared.
The photographs by George Tice are some of the most compelling documentary imagery ever framed. In their unobtrusive vision, they capture the substance and the spirit of these self-reliant people. They also reflect over thirty years of gentle but persistent efforts to document their lives and record their customs. For George Tice, this has been a life work, and the breadth and generosity of his vision is manifest on every page.
First published in 1970 and here entirely reset with 39 new images added and every photograph reshot for duotone reproduction (as well as a new foreword by Sue Bender and a new afterword by Tice), this is not a "revised edition" but an entirely new book; one that will surely take its place among the classic documentary works of this century.
Customer Reviews:
This book is a classic! The photography is beautiful!.......1999-05-18
This book offers a glimpse into the world of the Amish which has basically remained unchanged. It is a world uncomplicated by todays technological advances. It is a world that I respect and admire. The photographs in this book brought me closer to the amish people and captured the beauty of the people and the land. George Tice is a master of photography.

Book Description
The Mennonite Low German Dictionary is the most extensive reference work to date on the vital language of thousands of Mennonites in places as far flung as Russia, Canada, and Latin America. It provides a concise history and grammar of the language and more than twenty-five thousand entries—from Äajdatjs (lizard) to Resse’rieta (prankster) to Zyreen (siren)—taken from everyday speech, popular sayings, and literature. This reference work offers a fascinating view of the history and present state of Mennonite Low German, which, unlike most minority and immigrant languages, continues to thrive and grow.
Distributed for the Max Kade Institute for German-American Studies, University of Wisconsin–Madison
Book Description
In a remote canyon in northern New Mexico the early morning stillness is broken by voices chanting praises to the Lord. And thus begins the daily cycle in the Godcentered life and search of the Benedictine monks at the Monastery of Christ in the Desert.Seeking God is a monastic tapestry. The daily life of the monks is interwoven with the seasonal changes and celebrations and the candid words of the monks as they speak of their life their hopes and doubts their hardships fears and joys their prayer. Weaving this tapestry together are the hauntingly beautiful chants songs of praise and reverence that echo through the darkness before dawn throughout the day through the solemnity of Vespers in the evening and Compline at night. The majestic beauty of the environment captured in every season reflects a peace and tranquility that becomes an integral part of this monastic tapestry. The high red rock walls of the canyon where eagles fly cradle the valley whose stillness is broken only by the flowing waters of the Chama River and the winds that occasionally funnel through. Seeking God presents the ongoing process of the monastic way through the words and activities of these Benedictine monks as they move through the day and through the seasons in their search for God through prayer work study and song.

Mennonite Quilts & Pieces.......2005-10-02
I always enjoy a good quilt book, particularly when there is historical evidence involved. Ms. Tomlonson did an excellent job of incorporating the historical information with the quilts shown.
All too brief encounter with Brethren quiltmakers.......2001-12-26
This is an absolutely beautiful book, with full color images of both Mennonie quilts and the landscape of "Amish Country." My only complaint is that it's much too short! The paperbound book is about 125 pages long, and almost exactly the style, size and format of the Amish quilt books by Rachel and Ken Pellman. The story of each quilt is given, whether as just a name, year and current owner, or through a short reminiscence regarding the quilt or its maker. Readers are immediately drawn into the feeling of simplicity, peace, thrift, and heritage as they are treated to lovely photographs of the natural world that surrounds the daily lives of the Mennonite quilters. The quilts themselves, done in slightly more "worldly" fabrics and patterns than their Amish neighbors, will inspire and dazzle you. I love making quilts with traditional designs, such as "Broken Star," "Harvest Sun," "Tumbling Blocks," and "Cactus Basket," all of which I have made or am currently working on. This book is my well-worn reference, my inspiration, my small window to the Mennonite world, and my source of serenity when I find myself going from design hunt page turning to reading the engaging text. If you love traditional quiltmaking as much as I do and can manage to find a copy of this book (now out of print), you will be so very glad you did.
