Giveaway #4 – Pressure & slow cooker books

Giveaways, More 282 Replies

I am a HUGE fan of my slow cooker. I get very over excited when anyone asks me about slow cooking and start to wax lyrical about all the reasons one should use one and all the tips for making sure you don’t end up with a samey stew every day. There are tricks. But enough of that…

The Everything Indian Slow Cooker Cookbook has so many recipes in it’s difficult for a curry fan like me to know where to start. I have book marked a few including the butter chicken (obviously), rice with chickpeas and the dosa, which doesn’t use the slow cooker. But that’s what I like about this book, it doesn’t try and show-horn every recipe into the slow cooker. It accepts it’s limitations and yet doesn’t miss out the breads and other goodies that aren’t made in it. As usual with the Everything range of books it’s American so expect everything in cups and lots of American words for various vegetables. If you can handle that I think you’ll get on famously with this cookbook. I have this and The Everything Healthy Pressure Cooker Cookbook (with 300 recipes in it!) to giveaway as a bundle worth £29.98. And I have two bundles to giveaway to two lucky readers with get these.

  96. Both of my sisters have a slow cooker, so they would have to share this if I won.

  97. This looks great! Only got a handful of recipes I know how to make with my slow cooker so I’d love to find some more, especially for this summer, so we can go out for the day and come back to a delicious meal waiting for us! :)

  105. This would make a great gift for my Mum, she uses her slow cooker a lot & is always looking for ideas.

Putting some halved lemons/ potatoes etc in the bottom and then a whole chicken (without adding anything else) results in a succulent cooked bird, and is one of my favourite ways to cook chicken.
