The 150 Best Slow Cooker Recipes

Having just renewed my interest in slow cookers I bought this book based on amazon reviews. Some of the receipes are interesting but you will spend time having to research what some of the ingredients are. This is fine but I thought the whole point of owning a slow cooker was to save time! This book was written for the amercian market and probably makes a lot more sense there.

I bought the slow cooker for lamb and beef principally but this book totally opened my eyes to other options - chicken, vegetables, and even various puddings and deserts.

And all I have tried so far absolutely delicious.

Plus with some helpful tips in terms of what can be done the night before and what has to be done on the day.

A great book for anyone wnating to use a slow cooker (12/12 people found this helpful)

I've used this book for two years and every recipe has come out very well. I've not found any problems with it being American and it's delight to come across new ideas from over the pond. All the quantities in my copy are in USA (cups/lbs/ozs/spoons) and metric (ltrs/ mltrs and grams). Not come across any ingredients I couldn't find in the shops so far. You can make complete meals with this book - appitisers, starters, main courses, side dishes of vegetables, and deserts. (You could become slow cooker obsessed and surround yourself with them, a gurgle-fest in your kitchen.) It did make me think about all sorts of dishes I could prepare beforehand and slow cook them without that last moment panic. I'm going to get another slow cooker and make it a bigger one this time (3+ ltr) so I can cook, eat 1/2 and freeze 1/2, in one process. I can then use my current small slow cooker for deserts or side dishes. (Well I said you could get obsessed!)

If you like the idea of slow cooking - get this book - every meal's a winner.

I recently purchased Judith's book and a slow cooker (I must admit, being from Holland, I had not been aware of slow cookers...)and the few recipes which I already prepared, have been delicious and highly appreciated by the members of my household. The Mexican enchilladas have become one of our favourites. I can strongly recommend her book as her recipes are easy to follow. I prepare my dinners in the morning before going to work and when I get home, I don't need to worry anymore of preparing a nice meal.

Fantastic cook book - every recipe has been delicious (42/43 people found this helpful)

I recently bought this book when I rediscovered my slow cooker in a box in the loft. We have tried over a dozen of the recipes so far and they have all been absolutely delicious. Each recipe is packed full of scrummie flavours. The recipes require a certain amount of preparation before you can put them in the slow cooker - so you either need to plan some extra time in the morning or each recipe tells you how to prepare the dish the previous evening - then you just chill it overnight and switch it on in the morning. The house smells delicious when you get home! I would thoroughly recommend this book.
