The XXL Slow Cooker Recipe Book UK: 300 Affordable, Mouthwatering and Super-Amazing Family Favourites For Everyday Enjoyment I including Inspirations for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Desserts & More

This book has made cooking less exhausting for me as I can throw food into the slow cooker and just leave it to do its thing. And it is easy to understand. The recipes also come with nutritional information to tell you more about what you are preparing and how to measure particular quantities of the ingredients. The "quick preps" are handy if I am in a hurry which has been the case countless times being a nurse. The book also explains why everything is helpful, especially for a person looking to be a chef. Instead of just throwing instructions at you, you know the reason behind what you are doing, which I think is great. In terms of execution, it is also quite handy; I can prepare a large meal for a gathering with enough time. I can start preparing the meal in the morning and have it at the dinner table by the evening. On several occasions, I challenge myself every time I pick a recipe. That is why I choose the most complex recipes and have yet to prepare a meal I don't like. My husband, who has never once made a decent meal, was surprised when he managed to make a delicious stew one time. This revived his confidence in cooking which has made him cook more whenever he gets home before me or at least experiment with different simple recipes. Last week he made me a terrific lasagna, all thanks to this book. The aroma from the kitchen was all over the house; I had never been so excited to have what my husband cooked. If you have never cooked with a slow cooker before, this book will undoubtedly help you. It has numerous attractive ways to prepare a meal and teaches you about your slow cooker and how to use it to the maximum. Professionals can also find a use for this great book. There are new and innovative ways of trying different things in your kitchen. The book will open your eyes to shortcuts and tips to make your food taste better than it does now. However, I should mention the quantities are in UK measurements. Overall, it is a decent book with valuable information for anyone with a slow cooker. And if you want to buy the book before you splurge and get a slow cooker, this book will really give you good insight into what is possible with a short amount of time and a hand slow cooker.

The mouth-watering titles are what I love about this book, in addition to the stews, pot roasts, and especially the chilis. I had an easy time finding the ingredients from my local stores, and I’ve gotta admit, the recipes are easy to follow. I usually do most of the cooking with my two daughters, and even they can keep up with the book. It took me some time to get around to using a slow cooker; sometimes, I would end up being short of time, and this resulted in the food being undercooked and still wet. On other occasions, it would take much longer, and food would get burnt at the bottom. With this recipe book, however, each recipe has a stated time, which helps me cook my food just right. This book also helped quite a lot as it tells you what to do to get the best results out of your slow cooker and its maintenance and benefits. It's like the author wrote this book just for me. Everything essential is here, plus the 300 recipes are detailed and delicious. They are also affordable and resourceful; one of my favorites is using the chicken bones from dinner and combining it with other vegetables to make a delicious risotto. If you enjoy experimenting and trying new foods, this is the book to buy. I plan on buying two more and sending one to my sister and granny. The flavors are excellent, and they leave my kitchen smelling delightful. Even my husband commented on how lovely the food smells these days, something he never did. As if more than getting such delicious and delightful-smelling food is needed, I also no longer have to worry much about doing the dishes as I don't have to use a lot of utensils. I usually come home from work late and would not want to exhaust myself thinking about what to cook. The variety of the recipes is one of the exciting things I love about this book. I always look forward to preparing different foods. Other recipe books usually have either specific recipe, like casseroles, but this one even has desserts—all meals, from breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My daughters were surprised it even has a hot chocolate recipe. It just gets me so excited to cook.
