Nowadays, I can’t imagine not having at least one slow cooker and an Instant Pot. I use mine almost daily for meals, and a good cookbook to pick up is Fix-It and Forget-It Budget Meals: Quick, Easy & Inexpensive Slow Cooker & Instant Pot Recipes, by popular blogger and cookbook author Hope Comerford. With the terrible economy that we’ve had during the last four years, almost all of us need to cut down and make foods that are budget friendly. This cookbook is full of good ideas and recipes that are appealing.

The recipes are straightforward and written the traditional way with the ingredients listed first, followed by step-by-step instructions, making it easy for both advanced and seasoned cooks. There are also timesaving tips throughout the book which makes it even better. Comerford also includes information on slow cookers and Instant Pots that will help new cooks make good choices when purchasing these appliances.

The recipes are not particularly fancy, and not all will appeal to everyone, but there are enough good ones that the book is worth purchasing. It seems every family has picky eaters, and it seems those picky eaters are going to complain no matter what.

One of the best parts of this cookbook is that there are beautiful, professional photographs of most of the finished recipes. This aspect is absolutely a must in a “good” cookbook, and this one delivers.

All told, this is another excellent cookbook in the Fix it & Forget it series, and one those of us who are feeling the pressure of making good meals in a time of inflation will appreciate.
