This cookbook is most definitely an upgrade to my old, canned-soup-on-every-page, filled-with-processed-ingredients slow cooker book. The recipes are varied (zucchini & fava bean frittata, chicken korma, mackerel kedgeree, pumpkin & parmesan gnocchi, along with many basic stand-by's like a beef hot pot and easy sausage & beans), use whole food ingredients, and each page has a beautifully styled, full-color picture. Recipes range from light breakfast fare, dinners and desserts, to compotes and chutneys. Yesterday, I made the Mustard Chicken & Bacon Casserole and it was delicious comfort food that we will definitely have again. I am really excited about this cookbook and am glad to have added it to my collection.
