Perfect for you if...

  • You want weeknight dinners that don't require choosing between convenience and eating well.
  • You own a slow cooker but use it maybe twice a year and need real ideas that work.
  • You're tracking calories or Weight Watchers points and tired of sad, flavourless diet food.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You cook elaborate meals from scratch most nights and find quick recipes insulting.
  • You have no slow cooker and no interest in getting one.
  • You're looking for a narrative food memoir rather than straightforward recipes you can actually make.

About this book

Skinnytaste Fast and Slow presents 140 recipes from Gina Homolka, founder of the Skinnytaste blog. The collection includes over 80 dishes that can be prepared in 30 minutes or less, plus 60 slow cooker recipes. Recipes span multiple cooking methods—slow cooker, oven, and stovetop—and feature options like Chicken and Dumpling Soup, Korean-Style Beef Tacos, Spicy Harissa Lamb Ragu, Zucchini Noodles with Shrimp and Feta, Pizza-Stuffed Chicken Roll-Ups, and Cauliflower "Fried" Rice. The cookbook also includes a slow cooker flourless chocolate brownie and other desserts like Peach-Strawberry Crumble. Each recipe includes nutritional information and icons indicating whether dishes are vegetarian, gluten-free, or freezer-friendly. The book features 120 color photographs and practical advice for eating well. (Note: Weight Watchers points are available on the Skinnytaste website.)
