There is nothing more comforting than enjoying a slow-cooked meal on a dreary day.

I still have and use from time to time a classic ceramic 1970’s crockpot that was my mum’s. Do you know the one? Brown with the painted flowers on the outside, (these were a common feature in New Zealand kitchens when I was growing up) but also a multi-cooker that can do slow cooking and pressure cooking.
Whether you call it a slow cooker, crockpot, or instant pot there is a range of slow-cooked meals here to try out that are full of flavour using wholefood ingredients.
Included in this gluten-free dairy-free recipe collection are: healthy beef, lamb, chicken, pork, vegetarian, and vegan crockpot recipes.
