Slowcook

A traditional Sunday dinner dish in the French countryside that literally means, 'chicken in a pot'.

This deliciously tender slowcooked spiced chicken in coconut sauce from Australian Women's Weekly.

Not suitable to freeze. If you have one, try using a mandoline to cut the potatoes into paper-thin slices, otherwise, use a very sharp knife. We used a merlot-style wine in this recipe. Note

Pulled beef, or pork, comes from pulling extremely tender pieces of meat apart­ rather than cutting it into slices usually with two forks, which separates the meat into strands. Low, slow cooking is required to produce meat tender enough to pull apart into pieces. Note

Swiss brown mushrooms, also known as roman or cremini, are light-to darkbrown in colour with a full bodied flavour. Store on a tray in a single layer, covered with damp, absorbent paper and keep where cool air can circulate around them. Note

This deliciously tender piece of lamb is cooked using traditional Spanish flavours, combining salty chorizo and fragrant garlic and thyme to create a memorable dish for a roast dinner or Christmas lunch.

A rich, fragrant and warming slow-cooked lamb and eggplant curry that will melt in your mouth.

Suitable to freeze at the end of step 3. Note

An exquisite, slowcooked Greek-style dish with dill and lemon lamb shoulder.
