WHOLE Food Slow Cooked is the book you need this winter.
Olivia Andrews has gathered more than 100 recipes that can be prepared in a slow cooker or on the stove top.
Slow cooking is one of the most cost-effective ways of eating — cheap cuts of meat benefit from long, slow cooking times. Bypass those pricey steaks and ask your butcher for some slow cooker-friendly meats.
Imagine the aromas as you simmer a beef and lentil curry, Greek octopus or sweet potato soup. Also, see the black bean and spinach enchiladas, or tamarind and pumpkin sambar for some meat-free ideas.
