A whole new world!

After much badgering by my friend, I recently gave in and purchased my first slow cooker. I started using it for the usual beef stew, chicken casserole etc but wanted more variety. I trawled bookshops for a recipe book and stumbled on this one. Being a novice, the first section `General Hints & Tips' was very useful. What further convinced me to buy it was that most of the ingredients are either what you would already have in the cupboard or are readily available in the supermarket. Also, the measurements are given in metric, imperial as well as American (cups etc) so no need to convert. The instructions are clear and simple - very easy to follow. There are some great traditional recipes such as French Onion Soup, Somerset Bacon Hotpot, Beef in Brown Ale, Cock au Vin etc, and some really tasty new ideas (for me anyway) - Chicken & Tarragon (delicious), Mexican Chicken, Malay Spiced Pork.... Also, it has been a real eye opener as to what you can use your slow cooker for - it would never have occurred to me to use it for: whole joints, fish, paella, curry, pate, crème caramel, sponges (can't wait to try the Rhubarb and Almond Sponge and the Pineapple Upside-down Sponge). My friend (the slow cooker expert) has also fallen in love with this book, so it's not just for us beginners. I have many cook books which I only use for two or three recipes but I this one has so many that I want to try, it's not going to sit on the shelf and gather dust.
