Slow Cooking

100 one-pot dishes for the slow cooker, the oven and the stove-top are wonderfully easy to make. Once you have put the ingredients into the casserole, you just leave them to cook while you get on with something else. There are pot-roasts, stews, braises, curries, breads and puddings from all over the world - from India, through the Middle East and the Mediterranean, to Eastern Europe and Russia. All the recipes for the slow cooker can be prepared in advance and left to cook during the day, so when you get home from work there is a tasty supper waiting for you.

Dishes for the oven and stove-top are also slow cooked, taking a minimum of 1 hour to bubble away. Many of the recipes use inexpensive ingredients, including beans, lentils and cheap cuts of meat - which are deliciously succulent after hours in the pot. Perfect for the family table!
