These recipes are for cooking on top of the stove, in the oven and in an electric slow cooker. They're all very simple to make - once everything;s in the pot, it's basically set and forget.

The recipes include soups, stews, casseroles, curries, roasts and there are even some desserts. All the dishes in this book benefit from long slow cooking and, because of that, most of them use inexpensive ingredients - cheaper cuts of meat for example are the most delicious when cooked long and slow. They emerge succulent and can be cut with a fork.

Dishes cooked in an electric slow cooker can be prepared in the morning and will greet you at night with an inviting aroma and a home-cooked meal.
