  
Enhance your gourmet meals
by slow cooking for full flavor!
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; Provençal 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.
