Slow-cooked recipes are ideal for busy cooks who want minimum-effort meals with maximum flavor--you just put all the ingredients into a casserole, slow cooker or clay pot, switch on the heat, turn on the timer and leave the food to simmer, resulting in a wonderfully tasty meal with absolutely no fuss.

Slow cooking is perfect for everyone, from students who may have only a basic kitchen, to busy families who are short of time and may eat at different sittings. It is hard to go wrong with a slow-cooked meal because the finished dishes will rarely spoil if not eaten the moment they are ready; in fact, many will improve if they are made the day before, so that the flavors can fully develop.

This easy-to-use book contains a range of classic vegetarian recipes and also some delectable new creations to try. There are warming soups such as Potage of Lentils, delicious appetizers such as Mini Baked Potatoes with Blue Cheese, hearty main courses such as Savory Nut Loaf, and sumptuous desserts such as Chocolate Chip and Banana Pudding.

Each recipe is illustrated with a color photograph of the finished dish, and there are tips and variations throughout to help you get the most out of each one. An at-a-glance nutritional analysis is provided for each recipe so that you can plan for individual diets.

With this tempting range of 175 leisurely recipes, you'll soon discover that fantastically tasty and tender meals are very definitely worth the wait.
