Slow Victories

A Food Lover’s Guide to Slow Cooker Glory

By Katrina Meynink

A creative and flavour-packed collection that transforms the humble slow cooker into an essential tool for adventurous home cooking.

In Slow Victories, Australian food writer Katrina Meynink moves beyond traditional stews and simple set-and-forget meals, showing how the slow cooker can be used to create surprising, vibrant and deeply satisfying food. With more than 90 recipes, the book offers practical inspiration for busy weekdays, relaxed weekends, entertaining and those end-of-week moments when deciding what to cook feels impossible.

Recipes range from spiced lamb burghul and fenugreek cauliflower curry to wild rice with mushrooms, rosemary and cranberries, strawberry and pink peppercorn crumble bars, and yuzu lemon pudding. Meynink also shares pantry-stocking advice, clever cooking shortcuts and practical techniques for achieving maximum flavour with minimal fuss.
