Hamlyn Cookbook: 200 recipes. Interesting cookery ideas.

I am very confused… There are 240 numbered pages in the book. There are 17 at the front taken up by pictures and general slow-cooker information, and 7 are taken up by the index at the back. Each section has a couple of pages of pictures that act as dividers, so that takes up 10 pages, and then EVERY RECIPE is on the left page, with a picture on the right. There is one recipe per double-page view. My maths is pretty good, so I smelled something fishy… so I counted them. There are 103 recipes to my count (I may have missed one or two, but not 97!!!) so I have no idea how they get away with saying “over 200 recipes”… It’s a blatant mis-representation of the contents. Yes, some recipes have “variations” but they aren’t separate recipes in my mind… saying “you can use this fruit instead of that one” or similar, is not a new recipe. It’s something I could have worked out on my own, I didn’t need the book to tell me. I’m feeling rather annoyed by the false advertising, can you tell? Out of the recipes that are in the book, I might make 10 max, and some are recipes you have to start on a stove top and could actually finish there within 10 mins so what’s the point in transferring it to cook in a slow cooker for several hours in the first place? An example is a simple spaghetti with tuna and a bit of sauce… the recipe tells you to fry stuff for around 9 minutes… (by which time it’s actually cooked) – then you’re supposed to slow cook it for 5 hours, and then separately boil pasta on the stove, so what’s the point? It’s plainly ridiculous, Italians would be livid. So it’s being returned. Likely along with another one in the “200” series that has yet to arrive. Bah.

Would have liked more everyday type meals but details and picture quality are really good

Ok, so I’ve had a slow cooker for years, just sitting in the cupboard in a box. With all the talk recently about ‘cost effective cooking’, I thought that I would see if I could find a book to tempt me to finally take it out of the box.
Firstly, this is a smaller book than I imagined (5.5 x 6.5 inches), and it gets extra points for having a photo of each finished recipe (always a bonus). Instructions are very easy to follow and there is a handy chapter full of hints and tips at the start, something that I found of use.
The chapters consist of ‘breakfast and light bites’, ‘meat, poultry and game’, ‘fish and seafood’, ‘vegetables’ and ‘desserts, drinks and preserves’.
Whilst I personally feel dishes like ‘Mexican Coffee’ and ‘Porridge’ are a bit excessive, the idea of trying the chilled tomato and garlic chutney is very tempting. I like the fact that not only does this book contain recipes that I class as ‘traditional for a slow cooker’ (stews, lamb shanks etc), it has also given me some ideas for cakes, puddings, curries and the idea of preparing then leaving for hours does appeal, especially during the colder months.
I have given this book 3 stars due to only two recipes catching my attention when I first flicked through – usually I am placing numerous sticky-notes highlighting what appeals to me. However, considering the price of this little book and the fact that I have now picked it up again I can see how this book would benefit anyone new to a slow cooker, regardless of your level of ability in the kitchen.
