Beth Hensperger, a New Jersey native who has lived in California
since her teens, has been educating, writing, and demo-lecturing
about the art of baking for over 30 years. In the last few years,
she has shifted focus to countertop appliance-driven cookbooks that
embrace adapting traditional and professional recipes for the home
cook: the bread machine, the rice cooker, the microwave, and a
four-volume compilation specifically for use with the electric slow
cooker, stressing personal creativity in preparation and selection
of ingredients. Hensperger is the author of over 22 cookbooks,
including the best-selling Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook
series, which includes NYMSC Recipes for Entertaining, NYMSC Family
Favorites, and NYMSC Recipes for Two, along with the blockbuster
first volume, Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook.

Hensperger is the author of more than a dozen other cookbooks and coauthor of Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook. Her follow-up to that best-selling title presents recipes developed specifically for smaller slow cookers intended to serve one or two people that often leave leftovers (she points out that smaller batches cannot be cooked efficiently or as well in larger cookers). Most of the recipes are for homey, hearty fare; there is also a short chapter of quick and easy accompaniments prepared separately, along with a good, basic introduction to slow cooking. For all subject collections. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
