Crockery - Cookbooks for Crock Pots

[ulterior epicure]

A recent college graduate on a shoestring budget, my sister recently received a crock pot from our dear mum. I would like to supplement that gift with a decent crock pot cookbook. Are there any out there that are particularly user-friendly for a (very) unkitchen-friendly, lazy, and thrifty cook?

Your help is appreciated.

One I use over and over is "Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker". Good recipes, and thrifty because it is vegetarian.

My favorite - long since out of print - is "The Best of Electric Crockery Cooking" by Jacqueline Heriteau. Lots of copies on Abebooks very inexpensively.

Solid recipes, no fancy ingredients to buy. Explains all techniques well and clearly.

I recommend "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker" by Beth Hensperger-- excellent recipes for soups, stews, and even desserts-- the chocolate hot fudge cake is really good.
