The Greek Slow Cooker: Easy, Delicious Recipes From the Heart of the Mediterranean

Given as a gift to a 100% Greek young lady. She absolutely was astonished and is excited to begin trying the recipes out

Love the book. So far we tried 4 recipes and all were amazing. Really greek flavor

Book just arrived yesterday and it’s beautiful with photographs I think for every recipe and I’m delighted!

This is an excellent Greek cookbook! I have lived and worked in Greece for many years and this was a simple method to achieve many of my favorite dishes and learn new oneS.

Love this cookbook! Very good and authentic Greek food!

same spices in your tomato recipes

I love Greek food, and I love the convenience of my slow cooker. I’ll be honest, thought. I wasn’t sure how the recipes would be. All I can say is….Oh, my!! I decided on Spicy Country-Style Beef Sausages with Mixed Bell Pepper. It sounded pretty good, and could do its thing while we were at church. You should have heard the exclamations when we walked back in the front door! The house smelled AMAZING!! I had some lovely Greek pita bread to eat with it and, well, let’s just say we completely wiped out the entire slow cooker!! The bread is a must for sopping up the delectable sauce. I could eat this again and again!Well, that turned out so well we moved on to White Wine Chicken with Orzo. It looked nice and easy for my daughter to cook while I was at work, and sounded good. Believe it or not, the family loved it even more than the first recipe!! (I have to admit, nothing has topped the sausages and bell peppers for me, yet!). So easy to make and absolutely delicious! I took leftovers for lunch the next day and it was still so good. I got multiple comments of “That smells good!”.My daughters love pasta, so we then made My Go-To Fresh Pasta Sauce. I didn’t have the fresh tomatoes, so substituted canned crushed tomatoes. Well, it was still great. Needless to say, supper disappeared pretty quickly that night.There is so much more to try and love from this book. We haven’t done any of the breads or desserts yet, but they are on my list to try. This cookbook isn’t going anywhere. I know I’ll be cooking from it again and again!!I received a copy of this book from Page Street Publishing for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Such a fantastic book! All the recipes are fresh and vibrant which I am thrilled for coming from the slow cooker. The beginning offers a few tips and tricks with the slow cooker which has been so helpful. I made a phyllo pie which was so out of the ordinary for me but it came out fabulous with the detailed instructions. Excited to cook my way through this book!

I have been following the author's blog for years and some of her recipes are now our weekly staples. As soon as I found out about the book I immediately pre-ordered and I have to say the print quality, design and photos are all fantastic. I am now slow-cooking my way through the book and everything I have tried so far (lazy spinach pie, white wine chicken with orzo, ravani) all came out amazing. I am Greek myself and can attest to the authenticity of the recipes - Greek food normally takes some time and effort but here it has been adapted for a slow cooker to suit the busiest lifestyles. I will echo another reviewer's comments about the book being aimed towards the American market, however, measurements are given both in cups and grams so it should be absolutely fine for the UK too. I would wholeheartedly recommend this, not only to busy Greeks away from home but also to anyone enjoying Mediterranean cuisine.

I bought a proper slow cooker a few months ago, hoping to make my daily routine a bit easier but I've yet to master it so I resort to websites or cookbooks to guide me. Being Greek myself, this cookbook instantly caught my eye and I ordered it the day it came out. It may be worth noting that I do cook daily but the dishes I grew up with are often hard to replicate when time is short. Browsing through the book, first thing I noticed was the beautiful photos accompanying very familiar to me recipes that brought a nostalgic smile to my face. Now what is familiar to me will not necessarily be to you: souvlaki, gyros, moussaka, the instantly recognisable as Greek food on holidays, are not included here and neither are my favourite pies. And with good reason as slow cookers don't work with all meals. However. This is a book about proper, home cooked, comfort food. The one that my mum would have cooked and waiting for me after school. Most of it, Mediterranean diet based, yes heavily including meat but also vegetables, fish and pulses. Although I haven't tried it yet, I can see using this book often and for a long time, while I bring to my own children the flavours I grew up with, without spending all day over the hob. To be fair, I have deducted one star from an otherwise beautiful book for this: I doubt that the ingredients suggested, original though they may be, can realistically be found easily, even online (buying specialist groceries online is not for me nor is it affordable for everyone). More substitutions would have been helpful but my understanding is that this book is primarily adapted for the American market and suggesting them would have excluded us in Europe. Having said that, still a beautiful book, very useful if you want to experiment with Greek food.

I'm Greek and let me tell you these recipes are bang on, cannot fault any of them, well worth buying and using. its amazing when you think these traditional recipes are cooked slow but steady, therefore easily transferred to slow cooker, cooking, absolutely scrumptious, thank you from the last spartan standing

Today I tried a recipe from this book for the first time, and it was so yummie!! Really easy to make this morning before work and done when I came home... We love Greek food and this cookbook is exactly what you'd want, good slowcooker recipes are hard to find! Very happy 😁Have to add, initially I was a bit hesitating as we're trying to eat less meat, but there are so many nice vegetable and fish dishes to try... And some bread making ones as a bonus too!

Absolutely wonderful book. I bought this book to go with my slow cooker. The recipes are a delight. Complex elegant and nourishing and easy to recreate at home. I cannot recommend it enough. It also encourages you to try cooking things you never imagined possible in a slow cooker, like cakes and breads. There are some meat and fish dishes, but also so many vegetarian recipes, so perfect if you are not eating meat.Wholesome, beautiful and simply delicious.
