Best slow cooker recipe book?

8 replies

DomesticSlobbess · 05/05/2014 21:02

Right, I'm going to buy a slow cooker at long last. The Good Food website has a few recipes but can someone recommend me a really good recipe book? I've only just started looking on Amazon, and a few of the negative comments on some books are about the frying required before putting the ingredients in the slow cooker. I quite like the idea of "chuck it all in" so less prep would be preferred because I can be lazy sometimes. Any ones that have good curry recipes? DP loves curry but I seem to be absolutely crap at cooking them. Would love to chuck a curry in a slow cooker and then ta-da, dinner is served.

Also, does a slow cooker use much electric compared to an oven? We're on a stupid key meter so an increase in use is really noticeable!

Does it need to be a book?
There are lots of good recipes on the web, also google crock pot recipes.

They are meant to use the same energy as a lightbulb, don't know how true that is.

Sara Lewis slow cooker is lovely ( with a picture fir each recipe if your cheap like me) and I like Katie bishops slow cooking too.
Squiggle I have the easy slow cooking your friend has and don't think much of it- I've had two fails from it so it put me off.

Btw all of them suggest browning- whether you listen is another thing altogether- I don't Shock
