The Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook Series
DESCRIPTION:
Who’s hungry? EVERYONE. Who has time to cook? NO ONE.
Dig out the slow cooker. Add a second and a third if you wish. Fill one with main-dish fixins and the others with go-alongs. Do it in the morning -- or between work and after-school events.
Come home to richly-flavored, ready-to-serve food.
Slow cookers are having a comeback. With good reason. They are friends on a day of running errands. They allow easy entertaining with no last-minute preparation. And vegetarians won’t find a better way to work with dried beans.
Slow cookers are gentle with the food budget -- less expensive ingredients flourish in their slow, moist heat.
Fix-It and Forget-It offers the range of recipes slow cookers do well: Appetizers and Snacks, Soups and Stews, Main Dishes (with and without meat), Vegetables and Go-Alongs, Desserts and Beverages.
Bring an element of simplicity -- and quality -- to your pressured life! Let your slow cooker work for you.
Fix-It and Forget-It offers more than 800 recipes -- the whole range of recipes slow cookers do well. Tips and Hints are dropped in throughout, urging one additional small step for lots of extra flavor, offering ways to make your cooker a complementary appliance, explaining seasoning to maximum effect.
