Query: Tried About 10 Recipes, All Subpar

I have given this book more than a fair chance. I'm not a novice cook, and I love my slow-cooker, and often eat vegetarian slow-cooked meals made with fresh ingredients. I thought this book would be a winner, but nothing is palatable. It has gotten to the point that when my husband sees this book laying out, his countenance falls, but he's a good sport and eats it anyway. Enough is enough. The lack of flavor, bad textures, and even strange smells can be someone else's problem, as I'm donating this book to a used bookstore.If I may suggest my favorite recipe book for slow-cooking, "The Healthy Slow-Cooker," by Judith Finlayson is great. I've tried probably 20 plus recipes from this book, and most have been outstanding: all have been at the very LEAST edible. The majority are vegetarian, and many are vegan-friendly.
