by Margaret Fulton (9781742571553)

Slow cookers are one of the most popular and versatile appliances today. In a slow cooker, foods can cook for 8-10 hours unattended perfect for busy couples and families. In "Slow Cooking", bestselling author and one of Australia's leading and best-loved cooking legends, Margaret Fulton, shares her favourite collection of slow cooker recipes. Included are classic and hearty stews and casseroles, as well as soups, mains beef, chicken, pork, fish and of course, delectable desserts, bread, cakes and jams.

Rarely has an appliance been accepted as quickly and totally as the Slow Cooker. It?s easy to
understand why: this modern version of the old clay pot that used to sit on the side of the
stove, slowly simmering the evening meal, is so wonderfully versatile.
You can bake breads and cakes in the Slow Cooker, make pots of soup, and cook delicious
dinners and desserts. Simple hearty stews and casseroles, pot roasts and world famous
dishes such as Boeuf a la Bourguignonne from France and Vitello Tonnato, the cold veal dish
with tuna-fish mayonnaise that is the pride of Italy, are all naturals in the Slow Cooker. Fish
cooks to perfection in the Slow Cooker, pork become juicy and succulent; a leg of lamb with
old-fashioned onion gravy has never tasted so good. You can also soften fruit for marmalade,
make lovely fruit compotes and bottle fruit in the Slow Cooker.

In a Slow Cooker foods can cook for 8 to 10 hours unattended, while you work, play or sleep
very necessary with the hectic pace of life today.
Slow Cooking is an essential aid for all cooks today and provides recipes for a wide range of
dishes including soups, meats, roasts, fish, vegetables, lentil meals, bread and cakes, desserts,
bottled fruit and breakfasts.

Margaret Fulton OAM (born 1924 in Nairn, Scotland) is one of Australia?s leading and bestloved
cookery experts. The ?matriarch? of Australian cooking, and cooking 'guru', writer,
journalist, author, and commentator was the first of this genre of writers in Australia. She
has been credited with changing the way Australians eat. Her original The Margaret Fulton
Cookbook, first published in 1968 (with a Revised Edition released in April 2010), sold over
1.5 million copies and taught generations of Australian families how to cook and entertain.
Margaret has been nominated by the National Trust as an Australian Living National Treasure
and, in 2009, she was named by a Sydney Morning Herald panel as one of the ?25 Australians
who has most changed the nation.?
Her early recipes encouraged Australian housewives to vary the Australian staples of "meat
and three vegetables" and to be creative with food. She 'discovered' food from exotic places
such as Spain, Italy, India and China and as Cookery Editor, 'brought these into Australian
homes through her articles in the Woman's Day magazine'.
Fulton realised that chefs who did television shows tended to lose their audience. Accordingly,
she remained a writer who regularly appeared as a 'guest' on various TV shows.
