Year-round Slow Cooker: 100 Favorite Recipes for Every Season - Softcover

Unlike most slow cooker books, this features recipes that go beyond using bottled sauces to give flavour to food. Slow cookers have an image problem. Most home cooks use them for cold weather meals only, while others think slow cookers can only produce food that's mushy, bland and watery or rely solely on shortcut ingredients like spice packets, bouillon cubes and bottled sauces. No longer does this must-have kitchen tool deserve to be stored away when spring months hit. In "Year-Round Slow Cooker", home cooks will find 100 delicious, modern, practical slow cooker recipes featuring seasonal produce. Recipes speak to the home cook whose palate is more sophisticated and who wants to incorporate seasonal produce into all of her meals. Organised by season, "Year-Round Slow Cooker" features notes about the featured seasonal ingredients as well as invaluable tips throughout to help cooks maximise the power of the slow cooker.
