Art of the Slow Cooker

Regardless of if you are looking for a slow cooker cookbook with great family friendly and company's coming week night meals, or you just want to serve a new recipe a week from your slow cooker, this is the one for you.

The Art of the Slow Cooker is a unique collection of 80 recipes for:

• soups - imagine Parmigiano Pumpkin Soup with Frizzled Prosciutto...
• stews - anticipate Tunisian Lamb Tagine with Toasted Almonds and Couscous
• succulent braises - think Osso Buco Milanese
• vegetarian dishes - like Curried Vegetables and Dal simmered in Indian spices
• and desserts - savor Blue Cheese-Walnut Cheescake.

Not at all a can of soup chemical cocktail type of book - in fact each recipe is quite unique from a taste, ingredient and flavor stand point.

The ingredient list for some may look a little daunting, but remember many times you will be able to pre-prep some of the recipe the night before.  Get the spice rack out and measure off all of the spice and leave them in a container ready to go.  Vegetables such as onion, carrots and pumpkin can be chopped up and put in a zip lock baggie until you are ready to put everything together in the morning.

Customer reviewers rave about the "wonderful velvety texture to meatloaf", and the incredible Osso Buco Milanese, of which one reviewer says "it was so delicious I could not believe I had actually made it."

Mid-week entertaining is much more possible with the Art of the Slow Cooker.  One customer reviewer comments "I have started to entertain again and surprised myself every time with the results." The recipes work perfectly the first time, so you have no need to worry if it will turn out alright from this book.

This book is nicely written, has beautiful photography, and will inspire many busy home cooks (like me) to expand what is possible to present the family with, for dinner on a week night.

I am definitely going to be keeping this slow cooker cookbook on the top of my pile for a few weeks.  This book has given me enough new recipes to be able to make a  new recipe a week for my family to try, for some months to come - I'm so glad I found it!

Want to try before you buy?
I found a blog that features 5 of the recipes from the book at thenest.com which sounded so good.  But really what made me want to go and buy my own copy of the Art of the Slow Cooker was the number of customer reviewers that said the Osso Buco Milanese was just the best!  In the slow cooker - the best way to cook Osso Buco - this cheaper cut of meat becomes something very tender and tasty... enjoy!
