This book is for those who want to cook at home more; to save money
by using cheaper cuts of meat; and to save time preparing a meal
after the working day. You can literally fill your slow cooker with
your chosen ingredients, turn it on, and walk away for the day,
returning to a flavour-filled dish. It's as simple as that. But as
well as saving time and money you also want to make sure you eat
healthily. In this book nutritionist Sarah Flower takes her
favourite, tastiest, slow cooker recipes and gives them a healthy
twist. You can now create thrifty, delicious and wholesome meals
with the minimum of effort - and lead a healthier lifestyle, too.
This is a superb collection of seasonal dishes for every occasion,
gathered in one indispensable volume. It shows how to eat as nature
intended - season by season - using wholesome fresh-tasting produce
to prepare imaginative and inspiring dishes. Enjoy recipes using
ingredients in their prime, such as Teriyaki Salmon Fillets with
Ginger Strips or Pea and Mint Omelette in spring; summery Classic
Gazpacho and Wild Berry Tart; Mushroom Stroganoff and Mussels in a
Cider and Cream Broth in the autumn; and for winter, hearty Potato
and Sausage Casserole and Baked Leek and Potato Gratin. Every kind
of meal is catered for, from simple soups and snacks to quick
family suppers and ideas for entertaining. More and more people are
now rediscovering the delight of eating seasonal food. Food that is
grown and harvested when nature intended has more taste, and if it
hasn't flown thousands of miles across the globe, it will be stored
for less time and be all the more nutritious. In addition, it will
be cheaper! Enjoy the first peas, asparagus or new potatoes of the
season, tomato and mozzarella salad and strawberry shortcake in
summer, or mushrooms, root vegetables and apples in autumn. The
recipes include soups, appetizers, salsas, dips, snacks, salads,
meat and poultry main courses, fish and shellfish, vegetable
dishes, desserts and drinks. There are meal ideas suitable for all
occasions, from breakfasts and light lunches to easy suppers and
dinner parties. With more than 480 beautiful pictures and
tried-and-tested recipes presented in a simple-to-follow format,
