Well, look what just arrived!! My lovely publisher has sent me an advance copy of Ultimate Slow Cooker. The book will be available towards the end of March.

I am very pleased with its presentation, looks amazing. This time there are photos of a great number of the recipes inside.

Speaking of which, many thanks to photographer Chris Crerar and food stylist Charlotte Bell, also to daughter Stephanie, my wonderful kitchen assistant for the entire photo shoot.

Incidentally, in Ultimate Slow Cooker there are more than 100 totally new recipes for your slow cooker.

It was great fun to prepare, and even more so to share (with a willing band of test tasters), the dishes that came from the cookers over those several months of experimentation
