This book is especially good for chicken (breast) recipes, fish and seafood slow cooker recipes.

This slow cooker curry book aims to base all the recipes on a key list of ingredients. So avoiding the need for one-off or obscure spices, which is very helpful!
Again this is a small-sized book, A5 ish sized. But other than that is a very useful book if you love to make curries in your slow cooker.
