Today I am reviewing the latest AWW Slow Cooker Recipe book for my Hip Hip Hooray for winter post. It's slow cook weather for sure! If you haven't added a slow cooker to your kitchen tools I highly recommend that you do. They have really come down in price recently. You can pick up one from Kmart for under $50. I love slow cook recipes because mostly they are clean eating. You come home to a warm kitchen that smells good. Unless of course you set it all up before you leave and forget to turn it on which I have done once - it was very disappointing.
This AWW No 3 is a great edition to your library of recipe books. $12.95 available in the supermarkets and also at newsagents I picked mine up from Woolies.
I liked that there was a good variety of recipes that I hadn't heard of or thought to make in a slow cooker before - sometimes they tend to be all " stew and curries - look the same taste the same style".
Here are my top 5...
Chicken Mulligatawny - this one is in my crockpot now ready to go for dinner tonight - I'll let you know how it turns out.
Morrocan beef meatballs - lovely mix of spices and I can see myself making a double batch of this to use in lunches.
There are also some lovely curries - Coriander Beef Curry is on my to try list
There is a nice range of vegetable dishes too - including a cheesy cauliflower casserole and an eggplant with pinenut pasta sauce. I like the idea of this vegetable lasagna - while lasagna can be time consuming to make this one seems good in that it's really just the prep then set and forget.
Last but not least there is a dessert section too. A yummy looking caramel rice pudding caught my eye but it involes two tins of caramel - delicious but hardly clean so I'll see if I can convert it a bit and give it a try. This chocolate pudding looks divine!
All in all I'd recommend this one - have a flick when you are at the supermarket next and see what you think.
Don't forget to visit Mel - she has the cutest mug cosy today :)
