Slow Cooking

The recipes in this book -- more than 100 -- have been specifically developed to be different from those commonly found in books on this subject. White has produced recipes for hot beverages, appetizers, entrees, desserts and soups. She also has a miscellaneous section for items such as cereals, sauces, chutneys and potpourris.

Look for recipes that follow current food trends: follow fat and vegetarian recipes; recipes such as falafel, hummus and black beans; and whole grain foods.

The reader will learn how to convert favorite recipes to slow cookers; how to reduce fat and salt in cooking; general information about types of slow cookers; the rules of slow cooking; and products to avoid in slow cooking.
