I've never used a slow cooker after mixed reviews from friends but I've now been given one almost brand new so want to give it a go.

Can anyone recommend a recipe book for slow cookers that's really good and varied (ie isn't just a load of tomato based dishes that all come out tasting the same)? Bonus points if it has veggie dishes too as DH is veggie

Whole Food Slow Cooked by Olivia Andrews is good. Has a whole section of veggie recipes and definitely goes beyond variations on a tomato-based theme. Also has the benefit of giving instructions for using both slow cooker or oven for every recipe!

I often find recipe books for the slow cooker a bit meh - struggle to find things I really like the sound of.

I got this book a while ago and it’s bloody brilliant, have got lots of recipes bookmarked. I bought a second-hand copy which was in good condition.

What I really like is that each recipe has instructions for both slow cooker method and traditional method. Sometimes I enjoy actually “cooking” so I’ll go for the traditional method. It also shows which recipes are ok for freezing which I find really handy when batch cooking.

I’ve got the ingredients in for doing a batch of beef bourguignon tomorrow, fingers crossed it turns out ok.
