Title: The Italian Slow CookerAuthor: Michele Scicolone
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (2010)
Genre: Non-fiction, cookbook
Book Source: Free Advance Reading Copy
This cookbook takes Italian favorites and shows you how to cook them in an electric slow cooker. The sections include: soups, sauces for pasta, risotto/polenta/grains, seafood, chicken/eggs/turkey, beef/veal/pork/lamb, vegetables, and desserts. The introductory information gives tips on how to make the most of your slow cooker - such as "Avoid unnecessary peeking." (p.7) There is also a segment called The Italian Pantry that lists ingredients common to Italian cooking.
Michele Scicolone has concocted some great recipes that are easy to make. It is great to have some new ideas for my slow cooker that so often sits unused in a cabinet. Most of the recipes are easy to make, which makes it good for any skill level. The recipes cover a wide variety of Italian cooking and I am surprised at how much can be done with a slow cooker.

Nice review. I often don't use my slow cooker either because all I really know how to make is a stew. Need a new cookbook - I'll check this one out for sure.
ReplyDeleteI hope that my library gets this in. I want to try some slow cooker recipes that don't involve cream-of-something soup :-).
ReplyDeleteI like the "Avoid unnecessary peeking".
ReplyDeleteI mustn't be the only one who finds it hard not to lift the lid just to get a whiff of the beautiful aromas.
I never knew you could cook desserts in a slow cooker either.
Well, I like cooking but I'm not really the slow cooker sort of person. I get tired of waiting for it to finish. :)
ReplyDeleteI always have a problem with unnecessary peeking :) I'll have to look for this one.
ReplyDeleteYummy! I am going to check this one out. Dinner ready when I get home = awesome!
