Slow cooker recipes?

Can anyone recommend a really good recipe book for slow cooker recipes? I've had a look on Amazon but the choice is bamboozling. I'm a good cook but a new slow cooker owner and want to make healthy nutritious meals.

No books to recommend, but there are some great groups on Facebook - a lot are American so say "crockpot"

The pinch of nom website has some good recipes on. I've not found a slow cooker book yet that has anything apart from different versions of stew in them!

Interested in this thread?

Great for doing a chicken in, take it out the wrapper and put it straight in, nothing else, put lid on, on low all day. Lovely moist chicken ready at tea time, pour out liquid thats in the pot into saucepan and add chicken bisto, makes great gravy

I'm a throw it in girl so I'm useless with book suggestions.

I do stews (with/without dumplings)
Curries with a jarred sauce though I've seen a couple I want to try when I have time.
Chilli
Lasagne
Fakeaway kebab (ok not so healthy!)
Cottage pie (served deconstructed, grilled cheesy mash top added or with Yorkers)
Char siu pork (ahem not healthy)

Loaded potatoes which are baby potatoes, chopped up bacon, cheese, onions etc. Try searching for crock pot loaded potatoes

Amazing jacket potatoes, sometimes I crisp afterwards but perfectly edible not especially if you place right.

Chicken breasts I have put in the slow cooker on high and use for mini roasts or wraps etc. You can vary the flavour too. Google for the specifics just make sure they're in a single layer

I've done hams as well but a bit more variable results.

Using above jackets for loaded potato skins.

easy slow cooker printed by Ryland Peters & Small. That is my go-to. I also use I (heart) My Slow Cooker by Beverly LeBlanc.
Happy slow cooking!
Big fan here.
