Query: Recipes do not work

I consider myself a good and experienced cook. I have 20-30 cookbooks and enjoy trying new recipes. I was not looking for gourmet results when I purchased this book, just a cookbook to make tasty, everyday meals for my family using my slowcooker. After trying out a variety of recipes - maybe 5 or 6 - I have concluded that the authors never actually cooked these recipes. The could not have. The results were terrible. I took the book off the shelf today to donate it, but do not want to inflict it on anyone else, so off to recycling it goes.
