Australia's bestselling slow cooking series.

"I love finding new ways to prepare meals and desserts with slow cookers that others might never have imagined possible. In fact, there's nothing better than creating amazing and delicious recipes that are simple enough that anyone can have success with them first time - that's what makes them feel good so it makes me feel good too!" - Paulene Christie

Paulene Christie is passionate about slow cookers. She knows everything there is to know about cooking in slow cookers - and she shares this passion and endless enthusiasm with her engaged community of half a million followers on the Slow Cooker Central Facebook page, and through her bestselling and much-loved series of cookbooks.

Never one to rest, Paulene has been busy in her kitchen testing, tasting and exploring the many surprising possibilities that slow cooking offers the home cook. The result is Ready, Set, Slow! - a collection of 160 all-new recipes that you and your family will love. Organised into easy-to-navigate headings that reflect the main ingredients, making it super simple to plan your family meals, this collection boasts delicious food for every occasion and flavours from all around the world.
