It's amazing how little liquid is added to the dish before starting, but this book has it spot on every time.

If you've got a slow cooker and you've exhausted the standard winter stew concoctions, get this book.

This book has got a few good recipies, however it is aimed at the American market and I doubt very much if you could get ingredients like "liquid smoke" in England!

I am really delighted with this book. It has the type of recipes that you just know will be great when you read them, ranging from simple comfort food to the exotic, although I found none of the ingredients difficult to locate. I also loved that the recipes were written in metric and imperial, and there are a lot of interesting tips and tricks for the slow cooker included. I would highly reccommend it to anyone.

I recently purchased a slow cooker and needed a little inspiration as I thought you could only cook meals like meat casseroles with lots of pulses. How wrong could I be? This is a great book to knock up some delicious feasts and although most of the ingredients are listed in American measures, the alternative 'ml' measurements are on the opposite side of the page. Must trys are the 'Chicken Enchilladas', Beef Noodle Casserole with Chedder Crumb Topping, Carribeen Pok Roast with Rum and Lamb Keema. There are nine chapters ranging from Appetisers & Fondues, Soups, Vegetarian dishes to Desserts which include cheesecakes!!! A must book for anyone who wants some inspiration for their slow cooker. I am working my way through the book much to my family's delight.
