3.0 out of 5 stars or Slow Cooking with Canned and Packet Foods for Dummies, 10 Feb 2004
By A Customer
Please be aware that this book is American with US measurements and ingredients. Although the book does give a clear overview of slow cooking basics I was disappointed to find that many recipes relied heavily on US branded pre-prepared food in packets, jars and cans. I suppose that this saves preparation time, but when it is then slow cooked for a further 8 hours I wonder whether there would be any nutritional value left.

However, the ‘master meat sauce’ recipes which can be made in bulk and used to ‘jump start’ meals were a great idea. The French Onion Soup made with slow cooked chicken broth was delicious.
