Interesting book but not the simpliest 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.
Eye opening 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 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... more info
Excellent results 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.
