I have several of Alison Holst's other slow cooker books and I bought this one in the hope it would have some different things and it hasn't disappointed. It is great.
I love these 2 cooks, this book isnt FULL of recipes and some are similar to there previous book.
Until eight years ago, neither Simon nor Alison Holst had used a slow cooker. They thought that (like many other kitchen gadgets) slow cookers were just another ‘passing fad’, but maybe they should give them a try anyway – they quickly became slow cooker converts!
The incredible popularity of the Holsts' first two slow cooker books 100 Great Ways to Use Slow Cookers & Crockpots and Year Round Recipes for Crockpots & Slow Cookers, which have sold over 360 000 copies, is testament to the fact there are many other slow cooker devotees out there too! If you're hooked on your slow cooker (or if you're a novice) and are looking for more interesting and practical ideas to try in your slow cooker, All New Delicious Slow Cooker Recipes is perfect for you!

SAMPLE RECIPE
Slow Cooked Chicken Laksa (pictured)
We love laksa (creamy coconut-flavoured noodle soups). Although it is popular as a fast food option in the food courts found in New Zealand’s larger cities, or from street vendors in parts of Asia, we think this slow cooker version works very well too. Don’t be put off by the long list of ingredients as the method is really rather simple.
For 6 servings:
2 Tbsp canola oil
2 medium onions, quartered and sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2–3cm piece root ginger, finely chopped
1 Tbsp curry powder
750g skinless boneless chicken thighs, diced
2 heaped Tbsp peanut butter
1 × 400ml can of light coconut cream
4 cups chicken stock (or 4 cups hot water plus 1 Tbsp instant chicken stock
powder)
1 medium carrot, sliced
½ red pepper, deseeded and sliced
2 stalks lemongrass, halved
2–3 kaffir lime leaves
2 Tbsp light soy sauce
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp fish sauce
500g fresh egg noodles
2 cups green beans, fresh or frozen (thawed first)
Chopped coriander leaves and/or spring onion and/or a few beansprouts to
garnish
