 A Winner Even with Hard to Please Kids! November 14, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This cookbook has quickly become a family favorite! We have yet to select and make a recipe that we didn't love - including my two boys, ages 13 and 9. The recipes are easy to follow and delicious. I have two very picky eaters, and several of the recipes are so good, they will warm the leftovers for breakfast! A few of our favorites are Artichoke and Spinach Cheese Spread, Rustic Italian Beef Ragu, Chicken Con Queso, and Biscuit-Topped Chicken Potpie.

Full of practical tips on simple, home-cooked meal planning, "Simmer and Sizzle" is the ideal solution for today's busy consumers. Using two of America's most common appliances: the Crock Pot and the contact grill (AKA George Forman Grill). incorporating shortcuts and tips, and cooking from a pantry of prepared foods--whether canned, frozen, jarred, dried, Moore and Wyss tell how to make over 200 appetizers, sauces, salads, soups, sides, and main courses, vegetables, and deserts. This book contains a wide variety of unusual recipes for using your Crock Pot and the contact grill - without requiring expensive one-time use spices and seasonings.
It has a great recipe for Beef and Onion Fajitas (always a favorite with kids!) as well as really good recipes for Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad and a fancy Grilled Tenderloin with Pepper Cream Sauce.
This book makes a great gift for the new bride, college grad in their first apartment, or even the empty-nested seniors who lack motivation to cook.
The only minor flaw I found in this book was that occasionally a recipe is continued on the back of a page - requiring clean hands to turn the page!
If you only use that Crock Pot sitting around the house to heat up soup this is the place to find out all lot more you can do. Grilling with "George" just got more creative with the recipes in this book. The results are delicious and the book is a recommended read!
