Notes about Recipes in this book

• Spaghetti Bolognese

  • tricia_0t3spw on April 11, 2026

    This was good. Family enjoyed. Love a one pot meal in the slow cooker.

• 'Marry me' chicken

  • pinkpaisleyxx on November 02, 2024

    Really nice & tasty. Easy too. If I had to make a slight criticism I would use roasted garlic or at least grate it fine as I made the mistake of leaving it a bit chunky & it tasted slightly raw - although didn't impede my enjoyment of it! I did it with fried spuds but would probably have been nice with pasta too.

• Chilli con carne

  • mondraussie on April 01, 2026

    This is good. Didn't add the tinned beans to the pot until after the cooking was finished. they are already cooked in the tin, so only need to be heated through once the meat is cooked. Served as nachos

• Coq au vin

  • Leo on December 06, 2025

    Delicious and easy to put together. I would say the longest process was picking the thyme. Poppy doesn't allow time in the recipe for the cornflour slurry to work so I gave it a few minutes to thicken before finishing. 3 hours on high plus finishing was plenty in my crockpot.

• Chipotle bean soup

  • tricia_0t3spw on April 11, 2026

    This was just okay. The family didn’t love it.

• Honey garlic chicken thighs

  • Manycookbookssusie on April 16, 2026

    Not sure what I did wrong but my thighs ended up very black and chewy and there was definitely no juice left over! That said, it was pretty tasty all the same - added to a bag of stir fry vegetables and some noodles.

• Chicken korma

  • mondraussie on September 14, 2025

    This was nice, but came out a bit dry.. Perhaps my slow cooker is hotter than hers, might have to do some experimenting... Did 3.5 hours on high, perhaps next time try the medium setting instead

• Shepherd's pie

  • sasha_brargd on March 23, 2026

    Filling felt slightly flat; I added a tablespoon of tomato paste to boost flavor

• Fully loaded baby potatoes

  • tricia_0t3spw on April 10, 2026

    These potatoes were good. It was an interesting way to cook potatoes. I generally don’t do side dishes in the slow cooker so this was fun to do.

• Banana bread

  • tricia_0t3spw on April 10, 2026

    I wasn’t sure how this would turn out, but it did. It is definitely not my favourite banana bread so I likely won’t make it again, but was fun to make.
