A very special expanded edition of a classic — readers will enjoy the standards and new classics. The first edition of The 150 Best Slow Cooker Recipes has 425,000 copies in print and has been an outstanding success. It’s hard to believe, but the second edition marks the 10th anniversary of its first printing. A lot has changed since the first edition, from our tastes and interests in food and ingredients, including healthier fare, to the availability of a much wider range of slow cookers. So we decided to revisit this best seller. The result is an expanded, updated sensational slow cooker book that reflects the needs of today’s home cook.

This updated and revised edition features original favorites plus 75 new recipes that have been carefully sourced and selected by the author from some of her previous best sellers. It means more fish, seafood and vegetarian favorites as well as whole-grain offerings. And in a nod to the slow cooker’s humble beginnings, we’ve added more than a dozen sumptuous and tantalizing chili recipes, since nothing compares to chili prepared in the slow cooker.

Every section and every chapter has been revisited, updated and expanded. Here’s a sample of some of the superb new recipes: Caribbean fish stew, coconut shrimp curry Mushroom and artichoke lasagna, Louisiana ratatouille Sausage-spiked peas and rice, beer-braised chili Short ribs with orange gremolata, lamb shanks braised in Guinness Chocolate bread-and-butter pudding, cranberry pear brown Betty.

The number of color photographs increased to over 60, and the interior is fully redesigned, but the full-color elements of the first edition has been retained. With this superb book, home cooks can create everything from appetizers to desserts, and the extensive tips and techniques ensure delicious results.
