Title: Easy to adapt to GF/DF/nut-free diets
Review: I have a hard time buying "regular" cookbooks while working around nut allergies, lactose intolerance, and a preference for eating gluten-free. After looking through the sample of this book, I decided to take a chance and have not been disappointed.The author does a great job of calling out allergy swaps where they are able to be made, and there are also a lot of recipes that meet our needs without making adjustments. I have found the cook times to be accurate, and the dishes are generally flavorful and easy to assemble. After having spent the last few years cooking mostly with an Instant Pot, this book has been helpful in getting me reacquainted with a slow cooker for the nights when I'm not home to cook dinner due to running kids to activities.As others have noted, these recipes don't really have five ingredients, but more like five main ingredients. Things like spices and water don't count toward the five. Personally, I don't find this to be a deterrent because most of the meals I make have longer ingredient lists than this, anyway, but I can see how some might not be totally excited about it. Also, she uses frozen mirepoix as a main ingredient in a lot of recipes, and I have not been able to find this anywhere in my area, so be aware that there may be some additional chopping required for some of the recipes.

Title: organized and well laid out
Review: Over all I like this book very much. The recipes are down to earth easy to do and practical. I have already picked several recipes that will work for me.Pros: All recipes are scaled for a standard 6 quart crock pot. The beginning of the book lists pantry items, spices, flour, oil, sugar, salt, broth, etc as a basic set of items to have to do any of the recipes. These items are not counted as the "five ingredients". This is ok with me since it is so clearly stated in the beginning of the book. I actually like that it has all the spices listed up front. I can just get them all, there are not too many. Then I will be prepared for any of the recipes. In the recipes the "five" unique items are high lighted, making it easy to quickly read and shop. The ingredients are common and easy to get in the measurement listed. I don't see any "cream-of" canned soup used anywhere in the book.Cons: The first page of a chapter has a few images but mostly the recipes do not have pictures. The paper used for the book is ok, not thick and glossy.

Title: My favorite cookbook
Review: I like this cookbook the best out of three new ones. The recipes are easy to follow and come out good. I have made two so far out of this one. Sometimes I put something else or a little more. The food comes out tender and good. Keeps a hubby happy.

Title: Nice variety of recipes
Review: The book was not exactly what I was looking for but offers some substitutions or shortcuts that I could use in the future. A lot of the recipes are more than 5 ingredients but are completed in 5 steps or less.

Title: Good results
Review: So far I have tried 5 of the recipes and four came out really delicious: broccoli soup, enchilada chicken soup, and French onion soup stand out. The chicken fajita tacos didnât. Probably because I didnât follow the recipe exactly.

Title: Like it
Review: So far it seems good. I have used it once a week since i got it. it is just under 2 months now. I'm not a Susie homemaker and i don't like to cook but i think some of the receipt needs a bit more. I have making notes and when i go to make it again i will see. but everything turns out real nice.
