I love my Slow Cooker. I use it dozens of times a year to make a wide variety of recipes. But Slow Cookers have a reputation for only being used in winter to make soups or stews. But these versatile little kitchen wonders can be used year round to make all sorts of amazing dishes. Here is a selection of some of my favourites!

Slow Cooker Lasagna

This amazing Slow Cooker Lasagna is a deliciously simple way to make the classic Italian baked pasta dish. Layers of tomato sauce, a cheese and spinach mixture and pasta sheets are stacked directly in the slow cooker then left to cook. Topped with cheese, this brilliantly simple version is endlessly adaptable, as you can add meat, extra vegetables etc. This is guaranteed to become your new favourite recipe.
