Notes on the Recipes

• Do not mix metric, imperial and American measures. Follow one set only.
• All spoon measurements are level: 1 tsp = 5 ml; 1 tbsp = 15 ml.
• American terms are given in brackets.
• The ingredients are listed in the order in which they are used in the recipe.
• Eggs are medium unless otherwise stated. If you use a different size, adjust the amount of liquid added to obtain the right consistency.
• Always wash, peel, core and seed, if necessary, fresh fruit and vegetables before use. Ensure that all produce is as fresh as possible and in good condition.
• The use of strongly flavoured ingredients such as fresh garlic, chilli and ginger depends on personal taste and quantities can be adjusted accordingly.
• All cooking times are approximate and are intended as a guide only. Get to know your slow cooker; you will soon know if it cooks a little faster or slower than the times given here.
• Can and packet sizes are approximate and will depend on the particular brand.
• Vegetarian recipes are marked with a symbol V. Those who eat fish but not meat will find plenty of additional recipes containing seafood to enjoy. Some vegetarian recipes contain dairy products; substitute with a vegetarian alternative if you prefer. Recipes may also use processed foods, and vegetarians should check the specific product labels to be certain of their suitability, especially items such as stocks and sauces.
