You're no idiot. You know that slow cooking in a crock pot or Dutch oven is a hot cooking method - no pun intended. Smart, busy people like you love the convenience of putting an entire meal on "low" in the morning, and returning home at the end of the day to the smell of a delicious, slow-cooked soup, stew, casserole, or even dessert waiting for them! The Complete Idiot's Guide to Slow Cooker Cooking, Second Edition includes more than 300 recipes for sumptuous, slow-cooked favourites, from savoury sauces to delectable desserts. In this revised and expanded edition, award-winning author and chef Ellen Brown gives readers all they need to know to make party appetizers such as spicy cheese fondue, easy classics such as Coq au Vin, vegetarian specialties such as slow-cooked black beans, and cobblers and puddings for dessert. Each chapter offers a great mix of easy, intermediate, and a few complex recipes.
