Customer Reviews

I hate casseroles- - -LOVE this book!!

The recipes aren't what you'd expect from a slow cooker book-some even taste like stir-fries, no soggy vegetables and mixed flavours-every recipe I've tried is delicious. I normally avoid one dish meals as I don't like flavour mingling-but these are the exception. The slow cooker's a great thing and this book gives new ideas and modern twists on oldies like Beef Bourgeon,Roast beef/chicken etc-absolutely wonderful recipes!!Honestly, these recipes were one of the main reasons I bought a slow cooker.

Innovative and fun

Slow cooking has been the subject of competing titles, but The Slower Cooker Cookbook offers a twist: dishes which are not usually seen in the other casserole-oriented books. Take a sauteed Chinese Style Duck for example: the slow cooker here approximates a stir fry which much less effort. Or, consider Spicy Swordfish with Coconut; a very different slow cooker main dish. Innovative and fun.
