If you are busy and constantly on the go...a slowcoker can save your dinner sanity. They are not only amazing but they are also great for the environment and a wonderful addition to any kitchen. If you have left over veg you can make a simple veg and pasta soup or a sietan roast for more adventurous days. Another idea i am contemplating presently is the addition of a hay box, basically you take a cardboard box, some insulation, like polystyrene and some hay! You heat your food then pop it into the box and leave it to slow cook on its own thermal temperature. A great money saving idea all thanks to the wonderful book 'low cost living'. The picture is a slow cooker vegan stew with dumplings that just bubbled away in the corner. I will post a recipe for this beauty. Baked potatoes are so simple just wrapped in foil and popped in on low for around 6 hours, they dont have the crispy skins but the flavour is more intense and the potatoe a dark yellow. Go on give it a try!
