Description

The Chef and the Slow Cooker by Hugh Acheson brings a chef's mind to the slow cooker, with 100 recipes demonstrating how an appliance generally relegated to convenience cooking can open up many culinary doors.

Hugh celebrates America's old countertop stalwart with fresh, convenient slow cooker recipes featuring a chef's twist. Enjoy dishes like brisket with soy, orange, ginger, and star anise, or pork shoulder braised in milk with fennel and raisins.

Where the book gets really exciting is when Hugh shows what a slow cooker can truly do, such as poaching and holding eggs at the perfect temperature for your brunch party, making easy duck confit, or creating the simplest stocks and the richest overnight ramen broth.

There's even a section dedicated to jams, preserves, and desserts, ensuring your slow cooker can be your best friend in the kitchen morning, noon, and night.
