Introducing: 365 Slow Cooker Suppers Cookbook





I've been working on a new cookbook, and I'm happy to announce that it will be available in bookstores everywhere this September 24.

This was a tough book to write --- it has been a 3 year process to recipe develop and test 365 brand new dinner recipes. A few that appear in the book have been showcased on the site, but my contract stipulates that only 10% of the book content can go online.

And there are PICTURES!!

don't worry. I didn't take them.

Tara Donne, a fabulous food photographer, was in charge, and I just couldn't be any more pleased. The food looks FANTASTIC, but it was all made in a slow cooker (no funny food prep, my directions were followed) and to boot, all the food was photographed using gluten free ingredients, since Tara (and my editor) both just-so-happen to be gluten free.

I think you're really going to like this one. Some of the recipes from the book that you'll recognize are:
Not Your Mother's Meatballs
Matzo Ball Soup
Korean Soft Tacos


But there are tons of others that I'm sure will be a new regular in your meal plan rotation, such as:
Honey-Lime Chicken Soft Tacos
Barbacoa Beef
Snowy Brisket with Baked Sweet Potatoes
Brown Sugar Pork Tenderloin with Mustard
Roasted Grape and Goat Cheese Sweet Potato Bake

I stuck to all main dishes for this book because while it's certainly a ton of fun to make cheesecake and greek yogurt, most people still really need good, solid, tried-and-true dinner recipes.

I've broken the recipes into chapters: Soups & Stews, Beans, Poultry, Beef & Lamb, Pork, Sandwiches, Meatless, and Fish & Seafood. There is also a full index.

Thank you for your support, and for your kindness these past five years. I never, ever, could have imagined that I'd be able to play with my crockpot everyday and consider it work.

Thank you.

I am working with the publicity team at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt to help "get the word out" about this new book. I'm happy to learn that Sam's club and Costco will be stocking copies, but I'm not sure which regions.

If you'd like to help with publicity, I'd love to hear from you --- I am certainly open to any and all ideas! I wish I had the foresight to take a marketing class instead of so much English Lit in school!!

If you are out and about in a place that sells books, it would very much be helpful if you could mention my name and the book title to a manager.

And of course, this book will make an excellent gift to anyone on your Holiday list! If you'd like a signed bookplate, I will send one your way! Just email me.

Thank you again, and happy slow cooking!!

  3. One suggestion: I have taken to downloading books on the iPad due to the convenience in the kitchen. Will Harcourt offer an ebook format?

  11. I will have to take a look at it when it available. The Honey Lime Chicken Tacos sound good. Saw that you taught a kids class at the Millbrae Library. I have requested that you teach an adult slow cooking class for adults there. I hope you do one soon.

    Hi Stephanie, just a quick observation in my review copy: in the "Meatless" chapter, your recipe for Potato Casserole calls for "4 smoked chicken and apple sausage." This ingredient is not listed as optional. I'm guessing that my favorite meatless sausage (Field Roast Apple Sage) would also work (sadly it is not gluten-free!).

  18. Woo hoo! I have your other two books, and they are both well-worn from much use. Can't wait to have a third!

  19. I'm not a bookseller or a marketting person... just a lowly Mom who loves cooking in the slow cooker. But I will be adding this to my "wish list" and purchasing copies as gifts! Congratulations on the new book.

  22. Congratulations on the new book! I will definitely be purchasing- and as soon as I do, I'll be reviewing it on my blog. Good luck with it- I can't wait to see all the new recipes. Only 10% can appear here on the blog? That's a HUGE ratio of new-to-me recipes. Looking forward to it.
