More versatile and useful than many people imagine, the slow cooker or crockpot is often relegated to a winter braise or stew, collecting dust the rest of the year. Get yours out of the cupboard or borrow one from your mother, and prepare to save time in the kitchen without sacrificing great flavor. ART OF THE SLOW COOKER reveals a world of slow-cooked international dishes, old favorites, and creative new treats, each blending flavorful ingredients with quiet simmering warmth. With cooking charts to help with timing, plenty of tips on tools and techniques, and advice on which type of slow cooker is best for you, ART OF THE SLOW COOKER will get you out of the kitchen so you can spend more time with your friends and family. Savory recipes include Braised Sweet-and-Sour Brisket, Curried Vegetables and Dal, and Herby Minestrone. Slow cookers also excel with desserts like Chocolate Pudding Cake and a moist fruitcake that you will not want to give away.
