Format:Paperback
Though this is a new publication it is in many ways a revised version of the author's "1,001 Best Slow Cooker Recipes" of two years ago. The good news is that the American measures of the earlier book have been replaced with metric and imperial weights and measures, and the style is less American. It remains devoid of photographs. I have no problem with this for it means, other things being equal, more recipes and a lower price. However, among a thousand recipes there are inevitably some that seem pointless. For example, "pork sandwiches" consists of instructions on how to cook a joint of pork and then slice it to put in a burger or slices of bread. There are a number of recipes for making bread. I have no doubt that some will take pleasure in using a slow cooker for this but I shall stick to my breadmaker.
Though the recipes aim more directly at a British audience than the earlier book they would still appeal to America's Lieutenant Columbo of TV drama fame for there are no fewer than 143 references to chilli. There are also more chowder recipes than one would normally see in a British book but there is no mention of pigeon, rabbit, hare, grouse and partridge. I can understand this because many other cookery books omit them, but neither is there any reference to duck, pheasant or venison and I would expect these to be in a book for Brits, particularly as the last two are well suited to slow cooking.
The book circumvents the problem that some slow cookers have medium or auto settings in addition to low and high by using only low and high. Though this book does not tick all my boxes it has many positive features, including a useful introduction on using slow cookers and good sections on soups and vegetarian dishes. The recipes cover the full range of cooking including starters, international cuisine, desserts, drinks and bread. Among such a large number of recipes there are many that will appeal to new users of slow cookers and others that will attract experienced users wishing to try something new or test the versatility of their slow cookers to the limit.

If you're looking for the only slow cooker recipe book you'll ever need, stop here, you've found it! At £8.99 I thought it was a little pricey in comparison with many of the other slow cooker books out there,especially since I only paid a tenner for the slow cooker itself.. but after a year, I can honestly say it was money well spent!
There are so many recipes, that you just cannot go wrong. The only downside is that some of the recipes are pretty much duplicates of one another, but with different names, however, in a book of that volume it doesn't really make much difference, as there's still plenty to choose from. Yes, there are some recipes that aren't slow cooker recipes at all, but are nevertheless useful, and compliment the other recipes perfectly. For me, the biggest plus point for this book is that only a small fraction of the recipes suggest that one does any kind of pre cooking or browning, mince beef they suggest you brown quickly to stop it clumping, and joints of meat to sear first to lock in flavour. The bulk of the recipes allow you to simply prep the ingredients, throw them in the pot and turn the dial...job done.
There are recipes from all parts the world,which include among others, Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Italian, French, and if you want good old plain English. Another good thing I noticed was, that throughout the book the recipes aren't full of expensive or obscure ingredients..mainly stuff you're likely to have in your store cupboard or fridge, or you could pick up easily from the supermarket. There's recipes for soups, stews, starters, desserts, mains, and umpteen vegetarian choices.
My slow cooker came with a mini recipe booklet which had some very good suggestions in it, but once I'd tried them all, I naturally wanted some more ideas. The first book I bought was only a couple of pounds and honestly, every single recipe in it required some kind of precooking...that's not what slow cooking is all about! As far as I'm concerned, it's about convenience and ease (and yumminess!) 1000 classic slow cooker recipes will give you all of that and more!

I have LOTS of cookery books, I always buy books with photos of finished dishes - I love to see how my efforts should look.
But now I've discovered this fantastic pictureless cook book! There are so many wonderful and interesting recipes from around the world, with such a wide range of ingredients that I am inspired to try lots of the recipes. I recently bought a Breville slow cooker and I love it, I use it at least twice a week and so am constantly browsing through the recipes for inspiration, I'm never disappointed.
I'll be using this slow cooker book for many years! Highly recommended.
