Hello, and welcome to the Slow Cooker Club! We’re Rebecca and David, parents to a rambunctious five year old, an impatient two year old (she was six weeks early!), and our gorgeous Staffie Maia.
We met in 2009 whilst working in London, and got married in 2014. Food has always been a big part of our relationship – apart from the fact we’re two of the most hangry people you’ll ever meet – we’ve always enjoyed cooking together and eating out (are there really people that don’t enjoy these things?!).
Life always feels like we’re in such a rush – drop off our daughter at nursery, drop off our son at school, rush to work, rush home from work to pick them up again, rush to go somewhere else….you get the idea.
However, the place we always take our time – is at the dinner table. We always eat together, and we usually (yes, we all cheat sometimes) try and have a freshly cooked meal. It was during the search for easy-to-make freshly cooked meals (long before we were married or started a family) that we discovered the awesomeness of the slow cooker, and the rest, as they say, was history.
Using a slow cooker has always had a stigma attached to it – boring casseroles made by a stuffy old woman in her 1970s kitchen. But it doesn’t need to be this way!
Did you ever think that you could replace your Friday night takeaway with a slow cooker chicken curry, or produce slow cooker pulled pork so mind-blowingly awesome that people literally won’t believe you made it in a slow cooker? Well you can, you just needed to come to this site to find out how!
As well as food made in the slow cooker, we also love food that’s cooked slowly. Confused? You know the kind of dish – the longer you leave it in your oven, the better it tastes when it comes out – slow cooker lamb shoulder, slow cooker pulled pork, slow cooker lamb tagine, the list goes on. Many of our slow cooker recipes can be made in an oven too – and we’ll highlight the ones where this is an option.
All of the recipes and associated content on our site are original recipes researched and written by us, after testing, testing, and testing again. You won’t find rehashed recipes from other websites, or recipes that we’ve bought from someone and never cooked ourselves (yes, some less honest websites really do this). You might also find recipes similar to ours on other sites. As they say – imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
So, please have a look around Slow Cooker Club, and subscribe to our newsletter if you’d like to be the first to hear about new recipes. Alternatively you can follow us on Pinterest, Facebook or Instagram.
