The truth is that this brilliant book takes minutes of preparation, no specialist ingredients and little in the way of special equipment, platters, boards, dishes. Its packed full of interesting new recipes that deliver in terms of beautiful tastes. For sure, these are not the sort of meals you want to cook where you come in from work at 6.30pm, start cooking and wait until 9pm to eat, but, if you are around at home its all doable. This recipe book is economical too as there are plenty of recipes with cheap cuts of meat. Yes, the cooking time is long, but, quite frankly I'm not done in afterwards and my kitchen is clean and tidy. Alot of the recipes you can cook the day before and reheat the next day.
I never have any failures with any of the BBC Good Food books - all recipes are triple tested and they all work.
There are 6 chapters:
Family favourites - my favourites are the chicken with chunky vegetables cooked in white wine and stock and braised beef with red wine and cranberries. As per the recommendation I cook this the day before and just heat it up the next day. Absolutely delicious with mashed potatoes.
Casseroles and Stews - I love Beef and stout stew with carrots - just brown the meat, onions and carrots, add a can of Guinness and store cupboard flavorings and cook for 3 1/2 hours, Again, you can cook the day before and eat it the next day.
Slow roasts - I love slow roasted chicken, this recipe has only 2 ingredients: a whole chicken and some butter, but its the special cooking technique that makes it succulent and juicy!
Vegetarian dishes : I am just getting in to using beetroot after watching Jamie Oliver use them in his 30 minute meal show. There is a really good recipe with beetroots in mind: pasta with roasted shallots, beetroot and cauliflower, You could easily roast whatever veg you have already in your fridge. I adapt this recipe by using a couple of onions instead of shallots. There are only 7 ingredients to this dish.
Entertaining: I never thought that I would use brisket for entertaining, but pot roasted brisket with pancetta and red wine was well received.
Cakes, bakes and puddings: having been given a glut of apples recently I am making good use of them with the caramel apple loaf cake, it is different and tasty as it has a wonderful toffee and walnut sauce! Best of all it can be frozen afterwards.
This is a book I will use for many years to come: its modern, impressive and it ticks all my boxes: tasty food without too much fuss or preparation.

I too thought that this would be a great book to give me new ideas for my slow cooker, but unfortunately Good Food's idea of slow cooking is not the same as mine! The title is misleading - especially as the title is what put it in with my Amazon recommendations following other purchases. I was very disappointed that these recipes are for a few hours in the oven rather than for a slow cooker.

With freezing temperatures and snow on the ground I thought it was time to start cooking much more heartier and more robust family meals. So when I saw the GF 101 Slow-cooking Recipes advertised for under £5, I thought "why not"? Even if I found only a couple of recipes I liked out of the 101, it would be worth it. So to discover that it was a veritable treasure trove of ideas for delicious family meals was a real bonus.
Many of the recipes are all staples (or variations of staples) that one would expect to see in most cookbooks found in British homes - Lancashire Hotpot, Beef & Stout stew, Roast Chicken, etc, but there are others for the more adventurous, such as Rabbit & Mushroom Hotpot & Guinea Fowl with Mustard & Lemon Roots. Often, I find cookbooks either assume too much knowledge or speak to you like you're a complete idiot - the tone of this book however was just right with enough information to stretch the kitchen proficient and novice alike.
Whilst the emphasis is on meat dishes (and as an unreconstructed man who loves his meat this is not bad a thing), there are however a fine array of vegetarian dishes within this book which is great for those occasions when one has to provide a meal for non meat-eaters. I haven't tried any of them yet but the Moroccan Tagine and the Butterbean & Squash Crumble look delicious. Which brings me on to another thing I like about this book, it takes the fear out of using unusual (well in my household anyway) ingredients. I've never cooked with a squash before or with haricot beans but having now done so (at least once) I most certainly will do so again. It's also nice to have dishes from around the world to be able to try. Slow cook recipes from China, the Catalan region, France, the UK, Greece, SE Asia, etc are all contained in one little book with some great pictures to show you what it's supposed to look like. And for those of us with a sweet tooth, there are a number of cakes/puddings/desserts to try. Again, I haven't tried any of them as yet but I do like the look of the Squidgy Lemon-Ginger Cake and the Apricot, Almond & Ricotta Cake.
If I had to be critical of anything it would be the desire for more fish recipes (we don't eat enough fish in my household principally because I don't really know how to cook it properly). There is only one fish recipe - Oven-poached Salmon with Pepper & Basil Sauce - but given the cost of whole salmon, it is unlikely I will be trying this one anytime soon! I guess, generally speaking, fish isn't meant to be slow-cooked as it's easy to overcook it, nevertheless it would have been nice to have a couple more choices.
So all in all, I really really rate this cookbook! The choice of recipes, the tone, the different ingredients etc, work to make this a superb addition to anyone's bookshelf. Add to it the fact that it costs less than a fiver, it really is superb value.
PS, my favourite dish so far is the Spiced Lamb & Squash Stew. In my opinion however, the recipe, whilst delicious, lacks a certain punch. If you, like me need a bit more fire in your belly, especially in winter time, why not try adding a scotch bonnet (or 2!) at stage one (with the onions, garlic and ginger). It definitely gives this dish a much needed pep up (although my wife, who doesn't share my love of spicy food might disagree with me!)
