Everyday Slow Cooker

People are craving wholesome, home-cooked meals these days, and slow cookers offer an easy, convenient way to create just that. Everyday Slow Cooker shares more than 130 healthy recipes that you can feel good about serving to your family. In addition to making your house smell delicious, these recipes help eliminate the 5 p.m. panic of what to cook for dinner, easily provide leftovers, and can transform less expensive cuts of meat into a meltingly tender meal. And while we've included tried-and-true favourites in this book (like pulled pork and chili), Everyday Slow Cooker offers up crave-worthy modern flavors too, from Lamb, Barley, and Apricot Tagine and Moroccan Chicken and Vegetables over Whole-Wheat Couscous to Ropa Vieja and Pork Ragout Over Casarecce Pasta. Chapter 1 shares slow-cooking basics to help you get started such as explaining how slow cooking works, how to layer food inside the cooker, which meats work best for slow cooking, how to choose the best slow cooker size, safety tips, and more. Tip boxes throughout the chapters offer insight on less-than-familiar ingredients as well as smart prep advice, including short cut tips to speed up prep. Accompanying every recipe are hands-on and total times, full nutritional information, and a full-colour image of the dish to help home cooks prepare well and know exactly what they're making. There are more than 40 recipe conversions for the Instant Pot in the book, making these recipes super versatile. Furthermore, more than 40 recipes in the book are gluten free - each of them flagged for convenience - and a whole chapter is dedicated to meatless main dishes.
