Slow - Gennaro Contaldo

Savour the art of slow cooking the Italian way, where flavours deepen and texture is softened to create comforting, inexpensive meals with little fuss whilst you enjoy the convenience of your appliance doing all the heavy lifting.

"If you fancy something warm and comforting and Italian, then this is the book for you" - Dominique Woolf

In this newly updated edition, Gennaro shows you how to prepare authentic Italian meals in minutes and cook them to perfection. At the front of the book you'll find a handy chart to convert temperatures between oven cooking times and your favourite kitchen appliance.

Accompanied by refreshed photography, you'll find a selection of new vegan recipes to balance out the meat-heavier chapters and complement cherished classic recipes.

Gennaro showcases the use of economical meat cuts, beans, root vegetables and pulses - all enhanced by the slow cooking process. Think hearty casseroles and one-pot dishes that simmer to perfection, succulent roasts that tenderise from oven cooking, and comforting soups that quietly bubble away on the stovetop. Delight in sweet treats, like meringues and fruit compotes, as well as freshly baked bread.
