Use your slow cooker to raise the standards of your everyday dining from the mundane to the gourmet. This cookbook brings an upscale approach to this new-old phenomenon, using fresh ingredients in imaginative recipes that you can create during a day's work. Focusing on traditional one-pot meals from various cultures, recipes such as Apricot Chicken from India, Neopolitan Truffle Risotto from Italy, and Boston Baked Beans from the United States, are delicious meals truly fit to serve guests.
"Go ahead and sneer. I love my slow cooker.... Even food snobs like me are realizing their potential, albeit a little later than the more than perhaps 100 million Americans who already own one."
