Slow cooking is more popular than ever, and for good reason! Busy home cooks can quickly place all the ingredients in one pot in the morning, turn it on, leave it unattended for hours and come home to the aroma of a ready-to-eat hot meal for dinner. Slow cookers allow tasty home-cooked meals when there's no time for pot-watching!Slow cookers are great for cooking savory soups and hearty stews to warm you up in winter, but they also simplify Summertime cooking. You can still serve everyone's favorite comfort foods without the added heat of an oven or pots boiling on the stove. You can cook and serve a balanced meal in a single pot, with less clean-up too.
They're great for Summer parties and buffets... No more last minute cooking or re-heating while everyone else is relaxing and having fun. Slow cookers are also perfect for taking food to potlucks, family picnics, and other social gatherings.
Many of the recipes in Slow & Easy Home Cooking are tried and true favorites from family and friends. Some are my own original recipes. Others were found in a collection of community cookbooks and vintage brand name cookbooks. Casserole recipes were adapted and re-written to make them more suited to long slow cooking.
