Make it Fast, Cook it Slow: The Big Book of Everyday Slow Cooking
Make it Fast, Cook it Slow: The Big Book of Everyday Slow Cooking contains 338 tried-and-true slow cooker recipes.
The book is the best of the best of my "Year of Slow Cooking"----these are recipes that have been tested in my own home kitchen using my own slow cookers, and have been tasted by my own (sometimes picky) family. The recipes have also been tested by home cooks from around the world, with their notes and results documented under each recipe on the website.
The book is set up the same way as the blog, with detailed instructions and a short "verdict." To keep the price of the book down, and to include as many recipes as possible, I have opted to not include photos.
I don't like cooking before I cook, and prefer to not brown meat on the stove top before throwing it into the pot. Many people prefer to pre-brown meat---they like the color and texture this step provides. Whether or not you pre-brown meat is a personal choice, and unless I've specifically included pre-browning in the instructions, assume that the meat has gone in raw (sometimes frozen!) and undoctored.
We are a gluten free family. Gluten is found in wheat, barley, and rye. Oats are off limits, too, unless they are from a specified gluten-free source. Everything in the book has been made completely gluten-free. If you do not need to worry about gluten, feel free to ignore my notes or file them away in case you ever need to cook for someone with a gluten intolerance. As always, read labels carefully on your own since manufacturers have been known to switch ingredients without notice.
If you'd like to learn more about going gluten free, I recommend the following websites:
Sure Foods Living
Gluten Free Easily
The W.H.O.L.E. Gang (whole healthy organic living everyday)
Karina's Kitchen, Recipes from a Gluten Free Goddess
Elana's Pantry
Because we live with allergies, and because I'm a crazy Californian, I try to balance the amount of fat, sodium, and processed foods our family ingests. I'm certainly not a purist, and definitely enjoy a good dose of Velveeta now and then, but the recipes I've included in this book are not your typical "cover with cream-of-whatever soup" slow cooker fare.
Thank you so much for your support, it means so very much.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! It is VERY pretty :)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!! I've just popped on over to Amazon and pre-ordered by copy. I hope it's a huge success.
ReplyDeleteWhen did you change the name of the blog? I just noticed it, and although "slow cooking" is probably more appropriate as the ol' "CP" is trademarked, I loved the use of "crockpotting" as a verb!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your book! I confess to sometimes reading old posts just for the pure entertainment value. Sometimes I think you're a little whacko with the stuff you throw together, but it's always good for a laugh, and more often than not stuff tastes pretty darn good!
Congratulations! Off to order.....
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I love your website and have tried many of your recipes. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations-it IS a pretty book! I have tried many of your recipes-thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is beautiful, I'm going to ask my DD to buy me this for Christmas.

ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats...the cover is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I pre-ordered. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed trying out recipes from your website. Taco Soup has become an all time family famvorite, and makes for a fantastic lunch in my thermos.
ReplyDeleteThat is so great Stephanie! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks great!!! Does it have all of your recipes in it or just some of your favorites? Did you come up with all the recipes yourself? Congrats!!!! You are awesome!
ReplyDeleteOctober??? Must we really wait that long? Oh well with the rate summer is flying October should be here before we know it. And the cover looks magnificent!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Stephanie! I'm going to get it too and will spread the word in my neck of the woods :-)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! This has gone straight to my wish list!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm pretty sure that this will be my new go-to wedding and college graduation gift.
Does it make me old that the kids I babysat are starting to graduate from college? :sigh:
How exciting! I'll be buying a copy (even though I can't get all the ingredients here in New Zealand, I can usually work out a few substitutions) :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Steph! What a wonderful achievement. You deserve a nap, AND someone else making dinner :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I am so happy for you and pray that this book will bring you many blessings!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteIt IS so pretty! I love it! Congratulations to you!
ReplyDeleteIt is so pretty ;) Congratulations Steph !!!!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you...I was wondering...is the "slow cooking" title change for the blog your idea to just freshen it up a bit or has it ecipsed "crockpotting" as being politically incorrect ? Is crockpot now a outdated word ? Is it considered "low brow" by the masses and therefore unacceptable ?
ReplyDeleteI know how Martha Stewart feels about crockpots...she snickers and looks down her nose with riducule on them ! ( not funny to those of us who love our crockpots )...errr...slow cookers !
LOL
MANY CONGRATS, you sure have worked hard for this...what a LOVELY book!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteIt's really, really beautiful:) Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to see the book. The cover is great. Also, what would be your fantasy island crock pot??? Have a lot of manufacturers sent you crock pots? Just curious. I lost my lid and need to buy one. I am turning 40 this year and might celebrate by splurging on a new, fancy crock pot. Any ideas. I need something non toxic and as green as possible--if that exists in a crock pot.
ReplyDeleteSo very well done, you! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHi, I awarded you the Kreativ Blogger award. Check out my blog:)
ReplyDeleteLove yours!
Hubby has just pre-ordered it from Amazon.co.uk for my Christmas present, yay! I like the American cover more than the one it's showing for the Brits though!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Will be awaiting the day of it's arrival to purchase, and can't wait to try all the recipies inside it!
ReplyDeleteYAY! Congratulations! I can't wait for my copy to get here!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I love your website and can't wait to receive your book in the fall.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the book! That's a nice illustration on the cover.
ReplyDeleteWhee! Yay! Congratulations, Steph!
ReplyDeleteCongratulatinos, Stephanie! I can't wait to buy your book!!

ReplyDeleteShirley
Congratulations! You're an inspiration. That must be so satisfying to see the completed work.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! How very exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever cover and title. This is one cookbook I will definitely buy.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Stephanie! I am really happy for you and wish you great success :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteI am curious - why did you change your site to "A Year of Slow Cooking" from "Crockpotting"?
The cover is beautiful! And, from the past year, I know the contents will be amazing as well. I'll look for this one for Christmas presents! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHi Alicia,
ReplyDeleteit was a publishing decision----they wanted the site to reflect the book.
xoxo steph
I can't wait for your book to come out! I made the BBQ Pulled Pork this week. We love it and usually freeze some of it for another day, that is of course if it doesn't get all gobbled up!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new book!
Congratulations! This is so exciting for you!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking book! It is always great to accomplish a goal, congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI think I am going to ask for this for our anniversary in October! That should give it time to get to Australia...
ReplyDeleteI love this site and use it loads so a book would be like always being logged in!
Good on you and congratulations! I hope all your hard work pays off.
Congratulations! Wow - I bet it's hard for you to believe that you have a book published! Did you ever imagine that all this would happen?
ReplyDeleteDoes this have the gluten free recipes in it too?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Stephanie! I have so enjoyed your blog over the past year. You have been a real inspriation to me and countless others. Wishing your book tons and tons of success! (It looks great!!)
ReplyDeleteWow.....congrats on the book. I love the cover and can't wait to get it!
ReplyDeleteWait a sec - I want an autographed copy of this soon-to-be-best-seller of a book!
ReplyDeleteCongrats - I've had quite a few people comments about your Baked Potato Soup that I mentioned on my own blog the other day. Looks like we've converted them to crockpotting! ;)
Congrats!!! And thanks for making crock potting fun again. Please don't stop now, you can take a nap but I don't want the new tries to stop. I have learned a lot of new and fun things from you. Not to mention how much fun I have reading your new posts. Just the text is enough to make me smile for hours! Thank you for coming into my kitchen!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Stephanie! This cookbook will definitely be on my shelf!
ReplyDeleteSO happy for you! I too love the cover. Will all the recipe's in the book be gluten-free?
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer, yup! They are written the same way they are on the site. If you aren't GF, just ignore my notes. ;-)
ReplyDeletexoxo steph
Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! If the recipes in the book are as good as the recipes in your blog - it will be a hit.
ReplyDeleteI will have to check out Amazon. I just got a Border's gift card maybe I should use it for your book!
Congratulations! I know I have had nothing to do with this, but I feel I've been witness to something really exciting as I've followed your blog over the past year and half. I hope it does well, and I can't wait until your book comes out!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your cook book! I think it will be a huge success.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait! This will be on the Christmas list and I plan to get it for my Daughter and my Daughter in Law.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I will put it on my birthday wishlist (my bday is in Oct.!).

I recently have found your blog and just tried the Crockpot Salsa Chicken Recipe and oh my it was really good.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying a London Broil in the Crock on thursday.
I'll definitely be buying your book when it come out. Love my Slow Cooker
I love the cover. Can't wait until it comes out. I made Chicken In A Pot tonight in my slow cooker. It was fantastic! Gotta love my crock. And looking forward to trying all the recipes that will be in your book. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I noticed there is no Kindle version. Do you plan to offer a Kindle version? I love my kindle. I've just started popping it into a ziploc bag and using it to show me recipes in the kitchen. No need to find something to prop the pages open to keep the book from closing
ReplyDeleteYEAH!!!! i just ordered a copy - now I can find my favorites from you right on my shelf:-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations <3
Awesome! I can't wait to see this on bookstore shelves, I can't wait to own my own copy!

ReplyDeleteHuge congratulations to you on this amazing accomplishment. I know what I'll be giving this year for holiday gifts. I absolutely love your recipes. My family thanks you for all the yummy meals.

ReplyDeleteSoo cool! I totally pre-ordered it. Congrats. And I love the yellow color!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!!! I will have to order a copy. I have relocated to West Palm Beach,Fl and looking for good slow cooker. Look forward to trying your recipes.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! So happy for you. Hope the cookbook is an enormous success!
ReplyDeleteI immediately pre-ordered this. After all the countless hours you have saved me, it's the very least I could do. Aside from an incredible reference for meals, I hope I can, in some way, contribute back to you! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for all your hard work. My stomach thanks you, too!
ReplyDeleteI recently stumbled on your blog via a link from www.cheaphealthygood.blogspot.com. Congrats on the book. I will be getting a copy for myself! Love the recipes - and you're a good read too!
ReplyDeleteAbsolute congrats on the book and on the newbie!! (Reverse the order: Congrats on the babe and on the book :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat portion or percent of the recipes are GF? I can make my own adaptions for vegetarian and vegan.
Hi Mare,
ReplyDeletethey are all gluten free. The book is set up similarly to the site---I've included how I've prepared the meal or dish gluten free, and those who don't need to worry about gluten can simply ignore my notes. ;-)
xoxo steph
You are inspiring! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteJust saw the book in the Hyperion catalogue and ordered copies for the library (and one for myself!) Congratulations. What a tremendous achievement!
ReplyDeletewow, amazing!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I need it!

ReplyDeleteI just pre-ordered two of your cookbooks, one for me (of course!) and one for my daughter for christmas. Can't wait to get this book into my hands!! thank you...
ReplyDeleteI can not wait for your book to arrive in my mail box from Amazon.com. I am Gluten intolerant and LOVE my slow cooker (working 12 hour nocs, the "Smart Pot" is awesome!) Thank you again for all the gluten free recipes!
ReplyDeleteJust pre-ordered 2 copies!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have it - I love it - haven't tried anything YET!
ReplyDeletebut I LOVE that the blog corresponds to it - make sharing the good information all the easier!
May you have much success with it!
Stephanie
ReplyDeleteWe are a gluten free (and dairy free) family and I was so completely excited to find your blog! I preordered the book and read it this weekend. My family thought I was weird reading a cookbook, but oh well. I'm surprised that the harvest soup didn't make the book, it's one of my favorites!! Thanks for giving me a sane dinner hour back :)
I have the book and have read it cover to cover. Clear, funny and easy to read and the recipes are clear and easy also, Thanks Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteMy copy just came yesterday, I am sooooo excited! Already using the ham recipe for out turkey day spiral ham (we are not turkey fans) and I have big plans for a ton of the recipes. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI just want to say thank you. I have been searching for exactly this slow cooker cookbook -- one that uses fresh ingredients and has more than just soups and stews and foods that come out looking completely unappetizing (gray meat, blech!). You have created recipes that I actually want to cook and eat. I also appreciate your humor and honesty with "The Verdict" for each recipe.
ReplyDeleteI bought this book for myself last week and brought it home; one of my roommates got REALLY upset with me. Turns out she had bought it for me as a Christmas gift. Oh well! Anyway, made the Indonesian Peanut Chicken during the snowstorm this past weekend and I have been bringing it to work for lunch. It is AWESOME. First time I have ever used a slow cooker and I am hooked.
ReplyDeleteGot it for xmas, as requested, and am about to go make Lemon Chicken, which will be the 2nd recipe I make - I made Turky/Wild Rice Soup w/the leftovers from the holidays, and it was delicious. Glad I have some stocked in the freezer now for another time. Have reco'd the book to many.
ReplyDeleteWe love this cookbook! Recipes are great! Thank you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your year of crockpot recipes and just picked up a copy of your cookbook. Thanks for the hard work! I was happy to see that the book carries your "voice" and comments on recipes.
ReplyDeleteJust want to say THANK YOU for creating this fantastic, practical & mom friendly cookbook. I had been looking for a good crockpot cookbook for a few years now. We're a family of 4 and I work out of the house 40-50 hrs a week in a family business. I do all the cooking (my husband does the clean up) and thought the slow cooker could be a valuable asset to get a healthy dinner on the table at a reasonable time. However all the books I found were boring & old fashioned. Your book is fresh & inventive. Your "verdict" section is both humorous and helpful. I've told all my family and friends to go buy one! I have a lot of cookbooks and have never had one with so many recipies marked to try. Everything I have made has turned out great. Congratulations, thank you and if you ever publish another one, I'll buy that too!
ReplyDeleteI am anxiously awaiting receipt of this cookbook. Since I found your blog I'm using my crockpot far more. Also I'm using it for things I'd never have thought to make in a crock - roasted garlic; onion soup.
ReplyDeleteAmazing - thank you
I read about your book over on www.balancingeverything.com and decided to take a look at it. I went to B&N and scoured over it for an hour or so and the verdict was YES! So I came home and just ordered my copy today! Can't wait for it to arrive!
ReplyDeleteFinally got your first cookbook as a Christmas gift this year (after spending 2+ years utilizing your blog). Now I can make your recipes without dragging my laptop into the kitchen! :D
ReplyDeleteIf you ever do another edition, it would be great if the index could include recipes by size of crock.
Other than that, I love it just as much as I knew I would. Maybe next year I'll get the second book!
