Following on from the success of Cook Slow, MasterChef's Dean Edwards returns with over 90 mouth-wateringly fresh and delicious recipes for perfect home-cooking. Slow cookers are often confined to heavy winter recipes made with stodgy ingredients and with poor nutritional content. Cook Slow: Light and Healthy shows you just how versatile your slow cooker can be with effortless, nourishing recipes inspired by dishes from around the world. Avoid boring 'diet food' and cook slow to create healthy, wholesome food for balanced eating. Don't own a slow cooker? Don't panic! The recipes in this book can be cooked either conventionally in the oven or in your slow cooker. Recipes include: Coconut Fish Curry 'Melt-in-your-mouth' Teriyaki Beef Vegan Black Bean 'Meatball' Marinara Chipotle Jackfruit Tacos Crispy Baked Aubergine Katsu Curry Maple Baked Figs with Granola "I'm not going to go all scientific on you, but at 70 DegreesC (160 DegreesF) something magical happens. At that temperature, the so-called tougher of chewier cuts of meat begin to break down and become meltingly tender and a joy to eat. Basic ingredients can blend into something spectacular. Something as simple as a beef stew using inexpensive ingredients can become a delicious healthy meal the whole family can enjoy." - Dean Edwards

In this imaginatively illustrated book, each chapter charts the realization of a feast, with its challenges and ideas, culminating with the final recipes. The book consists of a Willy Wonka Feast, a Fairy Tale Feast, an Edwardian Feast, a Gothic Feast, a '70s Feast, and--of course--a Feast of the Future.

Scouring Italy for rare mushrooms and Switzerland for wild boar, he records the journeys and inspiration behind each meal, laying it all out in grandly illustrated detail. Witness his delectable riffs on Dr. Seuss's "Green Eggs and Ham" and Roald Dahl's "Lickable Wallpaper," and even try the recipe if you dare.

On a brisk February morning, Stewart Woodman learned he'd been named a semifinalist for Best Chef: Midwest by the prestigious James Beard Foundation. That afternoon, a fire gutted his restaurant, Heidi's, a southwest Minneapolis bistro whose inspired meals had garnered a passionate following among neighbors and travelers alike. Undaunted, Woodman turned his time and energy to cooking on a smaller scale--at home, for family and friends. He learned to adjust his tools and ingredients but not his style, and the result is chef-quality fare suitable for the home kitchen. Known to local food enthusiasts as "Shefzilla" for his blog of the same name, Woodman offers his "ingredients-forward" philosophy in 150 recipes that will allow home cooks to create fabulous yet unpretentious dishes like Roasted Beet Salad with Soy "Sauce" and Napa Cabbage, Wild Rice and Cremini Mushroom Hot Dish, and Pink Peppercorn Ice Cream. Woodman's food and life lessons came under the tutelage of Alain Ducasse, Jean- Georges Vongerichten, Eric Ripert, Gray Kunz, and Michael Romano and in restaurant kitchens in Montreal, Vancouver, New York City, and Minneapolis. In Shefzilla, he presents decades of cooking knowledge in meal-sized bites that will inspire home cooks to expand their repertoire. Through tips and stories and carefully developed recipes accompanied by lush full-color photos, Shefzilla entertains and educates as he helps you conquer haute cuisine at home. Stewart Woodman trained under some of the world's most celebrated chefs before striking out on his own in Minneapolis. In 2006, "Food&Wine "named him one of America's "Best New Chefs," cheering his "flawless modern-American food."
