Query: Does a Good Slow Cooker Cookbook Actually Exist?

I purchased The 150 Best Slow Cooker Recipes in hopes that my question above would be answered in the affirmative. Unfortunately, my quest for good Crock Pot recipes is still very much on. The photos in the book are lovely and appetizing, and I hoped that the quality of recipes would match the quality of the book's presentation.I tried two recipes from Finlayson's book, and one was mediocre, while the other was downright awful. Her recipe for Beef Stew with Stout sounded mouth-wateringly good, but was vastly inferior to my regular stew recipe; watery with very little flavor. The Jambalaya recipe was a disaster. Rice was mushy, and the meat was rubbery and underseasoned. I know it may be unfair to judge a whole book based on two recipes, but I'm honestly scared to try again. It's such a waste (of time, money, effort, etc.) to throw out uneaten food, but that's what ended up happening. My husband and I simply could not stomach the results.
