Nothing beats slow cooking when it comes to convenience. With minimal preparation, simple ingredients and just one pot, you can set and forget, then enjoy hearty, wholesome meals every night of the week.

Indulge in the joy of preparing simple, hearty, sustaining meals, with a healthy dose of family favourites in the mix, too. From tagines and tacos to pot roasts, pies and puddings, all recipes include conventional stovetop or oven instructions as well as those for slow-cooker machines. These dishes, even if they're new to you, will give you the warm, fuzzy feeling of having come home.

So, it's time to roll up those sleeves, switch on the slow cooker or fire up the oven and get cooking. Slow cooking is clever cooking... and, as they say, good things come to those who wait.

The Slow Cook recipes include:

  • Eggplant and mushroom cottage pie
  • Slow-cooked honey-mustard salmon
  • One-pot chicken parmigiana
  • Japanese chicken curry
  • Pork and pineapple tacos
  • Spiced ginger beer ham hocks
  • Beef pho
  • Pot au feu
  • Greek lamb and risoni stew
  • Lamb biryani
  • Sticky date pudding
  • Lemon delicious
