Whether you're after a quick and healthy meal to start your working day, or a substantial feast to share with family at the weekend, this book has an option for all occasions. Healthy food needn't be boring and The Australian Women's Weekly team have developed delicious recipes that pay homage to this claim. Simple ingredients transform into taste sensations - from pancakes to burgers, salads to stir-fries and, of course, sumptuous cakes and desserts.
These recipes are cooked in an electric slow cooker, and include soups, stews, casseroles, curries, pot roasts and even a few desserts. All the dishes benefit from long, slow cooking and, because of that, most of them use inexpensive ingredients - cheaper cuts of meat, for example, are delicious when cooked at a low temperature for a long time; they emerge succulent and so tender they can be cut with a fork. Most come with suggestions for accompaniments, but there are also recipes for couscous, roasted potatoes, polenta, pilaf, mash and more, to help you out.
Getting home from work and getting some food on the table quickly, is always a priority - when it is wholesome, tasty and nutritious that everybody will eat: a huge bonus! For some great ideas to eat together, try out the easy stir fries, put together some chicken and herbs, or for a really comforting night in, whizz up a quick and simple soup for the whole family.
Pasta and the sauces we make to pour over it, is one of the most widely eaten foods made in home kitchens today. Here we aim to give you those traditional recipes, with herbs, some interesting vegetables and not just parmesan cheese either! To make the most of the sauce, try a different pasta to absorb it: thin spaghetti for thick meat sauces and hollow shells to scoop up the juiciest vegetables!
Each recipe featured in this book includes a colour photograph, simple instructions, and has been triple-tested by "The Australian Women's Weekly Test Kitchen" to ensure quality and taste.
Whether you want to add a dusting of magic or a sprinkle of sparkle to your cupcakes or to produce the spectacular three-tiered triumph for that special occasion, this is the latest glorious offering from the Test Kitchens.

There's something wonderfully comforting about slow-cooked food. Perhaps it's that sensational aroma that fills your house and the irresistibly rich flavours that warm your soul. Or the melt-in-the-mouth texture of slow-cooked meats and the fact that you can create a hearty crowd-pleasing meal without spending much money or time in the kitchen. For whatever reason, slow-cooked food is undeniably delicious and, best of all, it practically cooks itself, especially if you are using a slow cooker. Simply throw all the ingredients into the pot in the morning, switch it on and return in the evening to the welcoming aroma of a home-cooked dinner.
