5.0 out of 5 stars If you can get over the US measures, ingredients and meat cuts, this is the only slow cook book you'll need, 21 Sep 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
I have searched far and wide for a slow cook recipe book with some inspirational recipes. They all pretty much cover a small number of fairly basic dishes and, while good in their limited way, don't really inspire you to try something new - which is the fun of cook books. Step forward Make It Fast, Cook It Slow which is by far and away the best slow cooking recipe book I've found so far, albeit with one or two slight limitations in the British market.

I love this concept behind it. Stephanie O'Dea vowed to use her slow cooker every day for a year as a New Year's resolution. I love a bit of quirky when it comes to books. And unlike many recipe books, her character comes over with every page. Each recipe is presented with ingredients, directions and often the verdict of her family - her husband and two small girls. It could be cloyingly sentimental to British eyes - but it isn't. It's light and fun and utterly charming. The instructions are blissfully simple (mostly you are... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Take one genuine, funny woman... add a slow cooker... simmer for one year and voila!, 11 Nov 2009
By 
The story of the 'genesis' of this book is as brilliant as the book itself - a New Year resolution made in December 2007 to use the slow cooker every day of 2008 turned into a phenomenally successful blog and ultimately into this book. This story is remarkable, not only because it's tangible evidence of the only New Year resolution I've ever known to have lasted beyond January but because it's a rare example of a spark of an idea growing to something which touches so many people in a profoundly positive way! The recipes vary from staple, everyday classics like shepherd's pie & traditional beef stew to a whole chapter devoted to "Takeout Fake-Out" - replicating takeaway favourites. O'Dea is a refreshingly unapologetic wife and mother with an infectious enthusiasm, her writing style is a delight, one of my favourite quotes being, "There are as many different variations of stew as there are missing Barbie shoes." The recipes are simple and delicious and a great reason to dust off that... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!, 12 Mar 2012
This review is from: Make It Fast, Cook It Slow: The Big Book of Everyday Slow Cooking (Kindle Edition)
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to eat healthier, for less money, less time spent slaving over the stove and who likes yummy food. So basically everyone. Have tried about 10 recipes so far and every single one has been fantastic, and this is coming from someone who burnt boiled eggs!!

    Will Dean's Ideas Factory: Billr app means an end to asking 'Why am I paying for your steak?'

    Somehow, it's never easy. Even if there's an even number of you. Even if everyone has the same meal. And the same drinks. Even the tip can make things complicated.

    Trending: Hardbacks vs e-books: the sequel

    In the world of journalism it's called a "reverse ferret" - a story breathlessly announcing that Black is White, just 24 hours after confidently asserting that Black is Black. In the genteel environs of publishing, it's a volte-face. Whatever it is, James Daunt, owner of Daunt Books and managing director of the Waterstones chain, executed a classic twirl at the weekend.

    Invisible Ink: No 124 - Hans Fallada

    His pen-name was created from two characters in Grimm's fairy tales, but his novels had little in common with the moralistic fantasies of mittel-Europe. Rudolf Ditzen was a magistrate's son, raised in Berlin and immersed in Dickens, Flaubert and Dostoevsky. He became one of the greatest German authors of the 20th century, but was not translated into English until 2009.

    The curious world of Norton Juster

    Some people are very easy to interview. Norton Juster is not one of them. He's delightful and articulate, but listening to the recording of our time together, it's striking how much more interesting his answers are than my questions. So our conversation entirely failed to resolve classics such as "Where did the idea for your book come from?" and ended up instead about vocational education, bipolar disorder, obscure Edwardian ghost-story writers, C P Snow, synaesthesia and the walks Juster used to take with his older brother. In some respects, it's hardly surprising; Juster has been giving interviews about his children's classic The Phantom Tollbooth for half a century, so might be forgiven for wanting his conversations to roam elsewhere.

    How Aharon Appelfeld chronicled the Holocaust

    Blooms of Darkness, in Green's graceful, grave and irresistibly readable English version, tells the story of Hugo, a young Jewish boy in an occupied town in eastern Europe who loses his parents to the camps but stays alive thanks to the shelter and salvation offered him by a local prostitute, Mariana. It extends and deepens one of the most remarkable journeys in all modern literature. In a prolific career whose highlights include novels such as Badenheim 1939, Tzili, The Immortal Bartfuss and The Iron Tracks, as well as the memoir The Story of a Life, Appelfeld has interrogated the meaning of what happened to him, to his community, and to humanity itself, during Europe's era of genocide.

    Gwendoline Riley: A portrait of the artist as a brooding young woman...

    Gwendoline Riley was finishing her first novel at the age that most of us were sleeping in, bunking off, or congregating around a pint at the student union bar. Turning her university dissertation into her debut, Cold Water (2002) she signed a two-book deal at the age of 22. Since then, she has accumulated a hipster-ish following and several literary awards (Somerset Maugham Award, the Betty Trask Award, a John Llewellyn-Rhys Memorial prize shortlisted nomination).
