How to use pack

These are all hearty meals that are great when the weather is getting slightly cooler. Naturally, slow cooking takes a long time, which is not a bad thing! Our recipes allow you to chuck most of the ingredients in and forget about them for hours. You could even stick it on before work so that there's no work when you get home.

Day 1
Lamb shank is one of the very best things to cook slowly so that it is falling off the bone by the time it's done. North African spices go really well in our Slow Cooked Saffron Lamb Shank and we finish it off with crushed cumin potatoes.

Day 2
We go in the other direction today with a fantastic mild curry. Curries are always better when given time to develop so it's only right that we include one here. Careful though, we don't hold back on the butter and cream in our Slow Cooked Butter Chicken.

Day 3
Beef Bourguignon is perfect for putting on before work. The beef only gets better with time and the sauce becomes sticky and rich. There's not much more to say about this French classic...give it a go!
