Notes about this book

  • ccav on January 26, 2014

    Split pea lentil soup: very easy and a good everyday soup. Herbs add a nice element.

  • ccav on December 29, 2012

    Asian Greens: Not pretty to look at but they tasted pretty good for the amount of effort. Soy sauce and garlic/ginger mixture provides good flavor. Used a mix of curly kale and collards; of these the kale had a more tender leaf after cooked.

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Mojito pinto beans

    • damazinah on October 25, 2015

      Nothing special at all about these beans. You couldn't taste either the rum or the lime juice (which, against my better judgement, I added at the beginning as per instructions). I added some more lime juice when I served the beans, along with the chopped mint. The flavors just didn't work with pintos.

  • Cheater chili

    • Hannaha100 on July 25, 2016

      An easy basic recipe for a novice slow cooker user. Worked well after work with basmati rice. Switched the beans for stuff I had in the cupboard - black eye, cannellini and kidney. Pre-cooked an onion and two peppers. Next time would try not pre-cooking just to see the difference.

  • Caribbean mango black beans

    • Hannaha100 on August 07, 2016

      This was near to being a perfect recipe for me. The ginger is the magic ingredient that really sets off the black beans and mango. Could maybe use more heat? Or pair with a chilli-lime salsa? Preferred on its own to in a burrito as the bread and rice masked the flavours somewhat.

  • Dry beans from scratch

    • Hannaha100 on August 05, 2016

      Made black beans (turtle beans) from scratch. Super easy but not quite cooked. Used them in another slow cooker recipe and they've come out perfectly.

  • Chickeny bouillon

    • Hannaha100 on August 05, 2016

      I've never made stock from scratch but was pleasantly surprised how easy this was. "Chickeny" might be a bit of a stretch. Made 8 portions of 3 Tbsp each.

  • Tea-scented tofu

    • Hannaha100 on July 26, 2016

      I thought this was a really imaginative use of the slow cooker and I'm excited to try this with other flavours but I didn't love this in combination with the sweet and sour sauce. Might be better in another flavour combination (maybe something fresher - Thai?). My husband was pleased enough - couldn't quite put his finger on what it reminded him of but thought it made the tofu "quite meaty". One to experiment with.

  • Sweet and sour smoked tofu

    • Hannaha100 on July 26, 2016

      Sweet and sour sauce was fine but I didn't love this with the tea-scented tofu. Would try to source smoked tofu next time, experiment with a different marinade or use veg instead of tofu.

  • Thai coconut pumpkin soup

    • WandaA on March 25, 2016

      Spicy and flavorful. A keeper in my house. Made this for lunch and added green beans and white cabbage together with the coconut milk as I used left over butternut squash which was less as called for in the recipe. Doubled the spices except for the chili powder. Easy but delicious recipe!

  • Hot and sour soup

    • WandaA on March 23, 2016

      Delicious taste. Added two cups of shredded white cabbage and green onions. 4 hours on low was enough in my Crock - pot. Will definitely make again!

  • Chorizo and sweet potato enchilada casserole

    • Ouija on July 28, 2017

      Modified a bit, using 2 cups homemade enchilada sauce, 2 cans black beans, 2 sweet potatoes/yams/1 pkg soy chorizo. Simple, delicious.

  • Delicata squash and pear soup
