Good Food: Ultimate Slow Cooker Recipes

Product Information

The highlight of this book is the ‘Meal prep, batch and freeze’ chapter giving ideas such as teriyaki beef bowls, saag aloo and creamy veggie bakes – batch cook at the weekend and then eat healthily all week. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. We particularly like that even the slow cooker recipes have instructions for if you don't have one, and there’s plenty of additional tips on every page. Aside from chapters on breakfasts and sweet treats, the two main course chapters are cleverly divided into ‘3 hours or less’ and ‘More than 3 hours’, so you can decide just how slow you want to cook. Serve with rice, pasta or mashed potatoes, topped with lots of soured cream, crème fraîche or yoghurt.

Every recipe in the book uses one of three pans: slow cooker, a sauté pan/casserole dish or a baking tray – so you don’t need tons of equipment. Every recipe in the book is under 500 calories, giving lighter twists on many simple classic recipes. We've produced hundreds of meal ideas over the years and this collection rounds up 150 of our favourites.A good slow cooker has so many benefits – among other things, it can be a lifesaver for busy parents on a school night.
