Preparing nutritious meals every day is a challenge for many families. Is this the case for you? This issue of the Practical-Practical! collection offers a superb solution to simplify the chore of mealtimes: rely on long cooking times of 8 hours or more in the slow cooker. In other words, you do a little prep, then let your appliance do all the work for you while you go about your other activities. You then discover a meal ready to serve at the end of the day. A dream!

To make prep a breeze (and stress-free!), we've got no-fuss recipes grouped into seven sections: meals that require no pre-cooking, one-pot meals that you can enjoy without having to cook anything on the side, large cuts of meat that, thanks to the long cooking time, shred to make a great topping for many of your favorite dishes, pasta sauces, savory main-course soups, your favorite classics, and a section of recipes to assemble and then freeze in bags for future slow-cooker meals. As a bonus, this book is a treasure trove of life-saving tips!

Long live slow cooker cooking!
