Humphries produces three-course meals in a slow-cooker and so could you.

How about this for a sample menu from the recipes in the book.?

Starters

• Slow-roast Pork Chops in Port with redcurrants
• Salmon in Creamy Rosé Wine and Butter Sauce

Desserts

All very tempting to eat but they also make it tempting to dust-off that slow-cooker and get cooking these time saving récipes. Slow cookers are an environmentally friendly way to cook using only a fraction of the electricity used by a conventional oven. So save Money, save electricity, save the environment and eat well!

The book is nicely presented and one of a growing series of slow-cooking books which are

• Slow-cooking from Around the World
• Slow-cooking from Around the Mediterranean
• Slow-cooking for Vegetarians
• Slow-cooking Curry & Spice Dishes
