The Gourmet Slow Cooker: Simple and Sophisticated Meals from Around the
World
by Lynn Alley
Ten Speed Press September 2003 ISBN-10: 1580084893 108 pages
Although
the slow cooker has experienced a renaissance over the past several years, the
discriminating cook is still hard-pressed to find slow cooker recipes worthy of
serving at a dinner party—recipes that reflect concern about ingredients,
flavors, and appearance.For these cooks, comes THE GOURMET SLOW COOKER, an
upscale approach to this new-old phenomenon by author and food journalist Lynn
Alley. With fresh ingredients and imaginative recipes, you can create delicious
meals to serve with pride to your guests. Drawn from slow cooking traditions
from around the world, the recipes include Lamb Shanks in Tomato Sauce from
Greece; Apricot Chicken from India; Chicken Mole from Mexico; White Truffle
Risotto from Italy; Proven?ßal Chicken Stew from France; and Potato, Cheddar,
and Chive Soup from the United States. In keeping with the sophistication of
the food, each recipe is accompanied by wine or beer suggestions. The slow
cooker can be so much more than a repository for nacho cheese dip. Paired with
THE GOURMET SLOW COOKER, your everyday dining will be elevated from the mundane
to the gourmet, while freeing you from hours of hard work in the kitchen.
