The Slow Cooking BibleMurdoch Books Test Kitchen

Satisfying is a word that springs to mind when there's a soup

simmering on the stovetop or a casserole cooking to melting

tenderness in the oven. Making a meal all in one pot is one of

the easiest ways to cook and surely one of the most rewarding.

Meat or seafood, vegetables or pulses, whatever the ingredient,

it benefits from the process of a long, slow cook, accompanied

by aromatic spices or herbs, a good splash of stock and

whatever other secret ingredients you, the cook, have up your

sleeve. Slow-cooked dishes abound in cuisines all around the

world, and this collection of flavoursome recipes showcases

the best of them. Don the apron, wield the chopping knife and

start cooking.

our planet by living simpler lives and using fewer resources,
