One of the things I love about slow cookers is that you can get all of the work done ahead of time, so when you're ready to eat, the food is ready for you. But beef stew, or some other traditional crock pot recipe, is not what you want for a cocktail party. This new cookbook solves the problem by giving you tons of recipes for the slow cooker that are actually elegant, including many designed for cocktail parties. So plug in the Champagne Fondue, toss out a few bowls of Sugared Walnuts and have a late night party. Pretty glasses for Martinis or Cosmopolitans and lots of candles are all you need for a festive decor. Have a fun weekend.
