Savour the art of slow cooking the Italian way, where flavours deepen and texture is softened to create comforting, inexpensive meals with little fuss.

In this newly updated edition, Slow, Gennaro shows you how to prepare authentic Italian meals in minutes and cook them to perfection with minimum effort by letting your oven or appliance do the work.

Accompanied by refreshed photography, you'll find a selection of new vegan recipes to balance out the meat-heavier chapters and complement cherished classic recipes that celebrate both the slow food movement and slow cooking. Think hearty casseroles and one-pot dishes that simmer to perfection, succulent roasts that tenderise from oven cooking, and comforting soups that quietly bubble away on the stovetop. Delight in sweet treats like meringues and fruit compotes, as well as freshly baked bread.

Gennaro, a traditional Italian cook, showcases the use of economical meat cuts, beans, root vegetables and pulses — all enhanced by the slow cooking process. With plenty of options to suit the thrifty home cook, this collection features timeless Italian classics like Stuffed Whole Roasted and Filled Pumpkin, Rigatoni with Meatballs, Vegetable Lasagne, and Orange-infused Baba.

At the front of the book you’ll find a handy chart to convert temperatures between oven cooking times and your favourite kitchen appliance. Slow takes the hard work out of meal times to streamline your supper preparation; this is food worth waiting for whilst you enjoy the convenience of your slow cooker or oven doing all the heavy lifting.
