Well to let you all know, and in particular Tigs84 who wanted chicken recipes - the chicken with lemon and black pepper worked out wonderfully. I put the juice of one lemon in which was just enough, the chicken stayed moist and although quite peppery held the lemon tangy fresh taste. The fine leeks and mushrooms I served on top of each chicken breast and with the soft noodles and some sweet corn it went down very well indeed. Will make that one again most definetly.

OMG so pleased i have found this site

Just bought, yesterday, a MR 6.5 slow cooker and was losing the will to cook , when i came across this site. Fab Recipes, i cant wait to try some.
