Fix-It and Forget-It Pink Cookbook is a new special edition of The New York Times bestselling cookbook featuring 700 great slow-cooker recipes, plus stories, tips, photographs, and recipes from breast cancer survivors, access-to-care providers, researchers, and participants in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer series. But there's more. One dollar from every Fix-It and Forget-It Pink Cookbook sold will go to the Avon Foundation for Women Breast Cancer Crusade. Says cookbook author, Phyllis Pellman Good, "Our recipe contributors and cookbook users are hard-working, goodspirited, can-do citizens. Many of them have family members, friends, and neighbors who have experienced breast cancer and so we join together to support the Avon Foundation for Women's fight against breast cancer. "What I personally love about this project is the chance to stand with the Foundation's efforts to ensure access to the best quality of care for all who've been diagnosed with breast cancer, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay.'"           Here's what you get in this friendly and useful new Cookbook, which brings two communities together: More than 700 delectable slow-cooker recipes that are quick and easy to prepare. Hopeful stories, important breast cancer information, and delicious recipes from breast cancer survivors, those who offer access to care, researchers, and Avon Walk participants. Support for the Avon Foundation for Women Breast Cancer Crusade. Who doesn't want to help? And who can resist Easy and Delicious Turkey Breast, Creamy Spaghetti, Barbecued Green Beans, Fruited Chicken Curry, Mexican Corn Bread, Peanut Butter and Hot Fudge Pudding Cake, plus 700 more irresistible slow-cooker recipes all present in this special Fix-It and Forget-It Pink Cookbook!

From Booklist

*Starred Review* Featured review One excellent reason to buy the latest cookbook in prolific food writer Good’s best-selling Fix-It and Forget-It series is that the publisher is giving at least $1 from the sale of each copy to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade. Consequently, the color pink, which universally denotes awareness of the disease that kills more than 40,000 American women each year, appears on every page. The opening section of this welcoming and brimming volume features recipes and moving stories from women active in the movement. Eloise Caggiano, the program director for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, for example, shares her family recipe for pot roast with gingersnap gravy and talks about how she was diagnosed with the disease at age 33. These early pages also present sobering information, such as the fact that 43 percent of breast-cancer patients skip treatments because they can’t afford them. Good correctly notes that weight gain can increase breast-cancer risk, but that doesn’t preclude put-on-the-pounds ingredients in some of the book’s more than 700 easy slow-cooker recipes. Among the decadent but comforting dishes are seven-layer bars made with sweetened condensed milk. Of course, there are plenty of healthy recipes, from Chunky Vegetable Chili to Autumn Chicken and Veggies, Squash Casserole, and Wild Mushrooms Italian. A thoroughly useful, supportive, good-hearted cookbook. --Karen Springen
