This is a fabulous French Chef from Montreal, very popular...I was so happy to get the English version..has a TV show - this cookbook is fabulous, easy to use...and great results...strongly recommend it...he has a new slow cooker cookbook but not yet translated into English. --France LaFlamme

I have purchased slow cooker books before....BUT.... Ricardo' book is far superior. I have made so many recipes from the book and all are great. He uses a few different spices and gives excellent instruction. The lasagna recipe is wonderful and I never thought I would be making it in a slow cooker. The other books I bought before really are not up to this one. --Jim

We are currently working our way through these mouth watering recipes. We haven't tried the dessert recipes yet, but the main courses have been wonderful. Beautifully illustrated with very clear directions. Highly recommended. --Pamela Eby
