I'm in the UK and the ingredients are widely available (yes, including liquid smoke). This is a fantastic book, we use it at least twice a week. It's changed the slow cooker from being a thing lurking at the back of the cupboard to an essential kitchen resource. If mine broke tomorrow I'd replace it immediately (but with a bigger one). Just about all the recipes freeze so although they serve between 6 to 8 it means that I can feed the freezer and then have days that I don't have to cook. The long cooking time means that I can do all the preparation and washing up during school hours and then just dish it up later. There are one or two recipes that I won't cook again but most of them we've eaten time and time again. Each recipe comes with a serving suggestion - noodles, rice, salad, mashed potato. If you've not cooked it before it gives you a clue.
If you have a slow cooker buy this book. We bought it for all our relatives that have a slow cooker and they all loved it (if giving it as a present I'd recommend wrapping it with a tin of Campbell's condensed chicken soup and a tin of Baxter's beef consomme as these are the most frequently used liquid ingredients)

This book rekindled the love of our slow cooker. There are some wonderful recipes in here. Pork Columbo, Chinese chicken, pork chops florentine... all delicious.
It's amazing how little liquid is added to the dish before starting, but this book has it spot on every time.
If you've got a slow cooker and you've exhausted the standard winter stew concoctions, get this book.

I recently purchased a slow cooker and needed a little inspiration as I thought you could only cook meals like meat casseroles with lots of pulses. How wrong could I be? This is a great book to knock up some delicious feasts and although most of the ingredients are listed in American measures, the alternative 'ml' measurements are on the opposite side of the page. Must trys are the 'Chicken Enchilladas', Beef Noodle Casserole with Chedder Crumb Topping, Carribeen Pok Roast with Rum and Lamb Keema. There are nine chapters ranging from Appetisers & Fondues, Soups, Vegetarian dishes to Desserts which include cheesecakes!!! A must book for anyone who wants some inspiration for their slow cooker. I am working my way through the book much to my family's delight.

Nice recipes, but...
A friend insisted that I borrow this book and try it out since she had no time to fiddle with her own slow cooker. Read more

It's ok, but can't say I've used it yet........rather dull and from the States too, don't see any must do's in it.

Sensible, clear and a great resource
Very wide variety of recipes, requiring some ingredient substitutes , but well presented and illustrated.

obviously not for a UK cook, needs a translation
I bought this book based on enthusiastic reviews of others, but I must say I am a bit disappointed. Many of the recipes refer to products available to the US/Canadian cook. Read more
