Product Description
French flair without fuss, by the best-selling author of The Italian Slow Cooker
With a slow cooker, even novices can turn out dishes that taste as though they came straight out of the kitchen of a French grandmère. Provençal vegetable soup. Red-wine braised beef with mushrooms. Chicken with forty cloves of garlic. Even bouillabaisse. The French Slow Cooker makes all of these as simple as setting the timer and walking away.
Michele Scicolone, who showed home cooks how to prepare extraordinary Italian fare in the slow cooker, now does the same for the French classics, adapting dishes from her travels all across France so they can be made with a fraction of the effort. Scicolone gives plenty of tips for coaxing the utmost out of every dish while keeping the flavors fresh.
And she goes far beyond the usual slow-cooker standbys of soups and stews. How about Slow-Cooked Salmon with Lemon and Green Olives, Crispy Duck Confit, Goat Cheese and Walnut Soufflé, and for dessert, Ginger Crème Brûlée? With The French Slow Cooker, the results are always magnifique.

Michele Scicolone has written her 2nd slow cooker book which, as she explains in her introduction makes French cooking less intimidating. This book is not presented as easy recipes; but actually this does make French cooking easier. French cooking has a reputation for being difficult with slow simmering. The slow cooker solves this `problem', which makes it much more trouble-free. Instead of spending hours with dishes simmering over a stove they are prepared in a slow cooker. There is some preparation needed for some dishes, such as browning meat or onions, but for the majority of the dishes, with the exception of soups, the cooking and preparation is in the slow cooker. The ingredients are common ones from the supermarket. There are tips and techniques for cooking and equipment use. A description of what should be in the French pantry is included. Recipes in the book are; soups, chicken, turkey and duck, meats, seafood, soufflés, quiches and egg dishes,...

Michele Sciolone is an experienced cookbook author, who has focused mainly on Italian food. Her Italian Slow Cooker book set the paradigm for this one.The book is filled with good, solid French recipes that can be done well in a slow cooker. There are no miracles here. You won't find recipes where you can dump stuff into the slow cooker before work and come home 10 hours later to something Frenchly alluring. What you will find is tasty French dishes that work. Many require significant prep, but few require exotic ingredients. Some are for things you could do just as well on the stovetop, and faster - but with lots more attention and effort. But for summertime cooking without heating up the kitchen, or for those times when you want to spend a long afternoon doing something other than tending a stew on the stovetop, these recipes are great. The recipes I have tried work well and yield flavorful and interesting results. Sciolone is...

I love French food and I've been exploring recipes for my slow cooker, so I was eager to check out this new cookbook. It covers soups, poultry, meat, seafood, egg dishes, vegetables, legumes and grains, and desserts, and includes chapters on using your slow cooker, the French pantry, and basic recipes that don't require a slow cooker but complement the recipes in the book. There are many mouth-watering photographs that will tempt you to try quite a few of the recipes.The book is well organized and Scicolone writes clear directions, except that she's a little close-mouthed in some cases about exactly how to remove some of the food from the slow cooker. When presentation is important for a dish, you really want some detailed direction on that point. I was pleased to see recipes from many different regions of France, such as Alsation Lentil Soup with Bratwurst, Provencal Vegetable Soup with Pesto, Basque Chicken, Normandy Pork with Apples and many more.
