The slow cooker has been a true boon for the busy chef, but until now, most slow-cooker recipes have been developed with an eye toward forgetting about the cooking rather than creating memorable dishes. That's about to change.

With Secrets of Slow Cooking, even those with the most hectic lifestyle can create unforgettable meals with very little effort. Concentrating on dishes that are best made in a slow cooker, author Liana Krissoff presents classics and international dishes as well as new tastes. All recipes features the freshest ingredients prepared in a satisfying and, as Liana puts it, 'soulful' manner.

Beginning with a discussion of how to choose the right slow cooker and easy tips for slow-cooker success, Liana offers more than 60 recipes for extraordinary slow-cooked food. From appetisers to vegetables to main dishes to desserts, here are foods that will delight family and friends - Duck Confit, Soy-Glazed Beef Short Ribs, Wild Rice with Cherries and Orange, Easiest Corn Chowder, Cassoulet with Homemade Sausage, Lamb Tagine with Golden Raisins and Caramelised Onions, Fesenjen (Chicken with Walnuts and Pomegranate), Apricot and Chocolate Bread Pudding and Chewy-Fudgy Brownies, to name but a few.

Also included are recipes that take full advantage of the slow cooker's capacity for even, low-temperature. For example, Tuna Poached in Extra Virgin Olive Oil showcases an excellent method for cooking firm-fleshed fish, while Sake Punch demonstrates how a clow cooker becomes the perfect punch bowl when serving hot drinks for a party.

Secrets of Slow Cooking will take your slow cooker from a convenient appliance to a treasured kitchen necessity.

About the author

Liana Krissoff is a freelance cookbook editor. She worked as a cook at a small restaurant in semi-rural Lovettsville, Virginia, before realising that she had learned more about food and cooking from her mother (herself a former professional cook who grew up on a nearly self-sufficient farm in western Pennsylvania) than she ever could in a busy, hot, cramped commercial kitche. She now lives and works in a busy, hot, cramped railroad apartment in Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan.
