Slow Cooked

There’s something deeply satisfying about throwing a bunch of ingredients into a pot, walking away, then coming back hours later to dinner that’s basically cooked itself. This collection is for those golden days, when you’ve got 5 minutes in the morning but want to feel like an organised genius by 6 pm.

Slow-cooking is magic. It turns humble ingredients into rich, flavour-packed meals with fall-apart textures and zero last-minute stress. Whether you’re using a slow-cooker, stovetop or oven, these recipes are built for hands-off comfort that tastes like it’s been simmering for generations (but without anyone needing to stand over a stove).

You’ll find deep, aromatic favourites like Slow-cooked Coconut Beef Curry and Red Wine Lamb Shanks, along with low-fuss midweek wins like cosy European Chicken Paprikash and the retro-meets-genius Beef Stroganoff Cottage Pie – complete with a golden, crispy parmesan topping. There’s also Slow-cooked Traditional Goulash, which is basically a hug in a bowl.

These are the kind of meals that reward a little prep with a lot of payoff – rich, hearty, soul-warming dinners you’ll want to make on repeat (and maybe freeze the leftovers if you’re feeling extra clever).
