I have made many things from it and every single one has been delicious and a great hit with the family! The first recipe I made was boozy chicken and I was unsure of the mix of drinks but boy was it good and you didn't last the alcohol at all. Just a delicious, mouthwatering meal. Simple and easy to follow recipes; love, love it and cannot recommend it highly enough to you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AWESOME BOOK!!! *by M***T on January 25, 2019* Why I am cooking so good?!?? It’s because Generao has awesome traditional Italian recipies! So simple and yet so delicious!! Great book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are very interested in Italian recipes, this is a decent one for your collection. *by I***T on February 7, 2015* There are about 100 recipes in this book: Soups, pasta, stews, roasts, "savory bakes", light dishes, even leftovers. There are bread recipes, cakes, desserts and the book ends with preserves. There are several topics in the list that I just rattled through that pique my interest: Preserves, soups, savory bakes, leftovers and stews.Note: "Slow Cook", not slow cooker, not crock pot. But, that is not to say Gennaro ignores the slow cooker. On the contrary, while he does not use one at home, he does include separate instructions for using one for some of the recipes. (Be aware though, that you are going to have stove-top cooking to complete before placing food into the slow cooker. So, there are no recipes here that you can plop into the cooker at 5 a.m. before you leave for your commute to work....)If you are wondering who this guy is: The author, Gennaro Contaldo, had a hand in teaching Jamie Oliver about Italian cooking.To be honest with you: The publisher was looking for reviews of this book, but only allowed me to glimpse about 40 pages of it. So my four-star rating is based on what I did see. It does look interesting though, with plenty of beautiful photographs, easy-to-read page layouts, and a decent representation of foods from different regions in Italy (not only southern Italy where he and his family are from).It appears that there is a photo to go with each recipe. Recipe instructions are straightforward. Ingredient lists are not too long, and include both metric and imperial measurements. There is a decent 5-page index.Gennaro makes the most of inexpensive cuts of meat, dried beans, peas and lentils. In addition to the usual meats--lamb, pork, beef--Gennaro includes game birds and animals. Be aware that Gennaro includes veal shin/knuckle/ossobuco in his list of "cheap" cuts of meat. Where I live, that is one of the most expensive meats in the butcher case......I was excited to see a pork stew among the recipes I was allowed to see. (I often buy a large pork butt roast and cube it up, divide it up, and freeze portions.) Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the results. It was good--don't get mewrong--but, it was not spectacular or unusual. (It contained carrot, onion, celery, potato, frozen peas, sage.)Here are some others I've tried over the past few months:--A beautiful lasagna with slow-cooked vegetables in a white sauce: Celery, carrot, turnip, pumpkin, mushrooms and more.--A Tyrolean beef stew gently simmered for two hours with garlic, onions, cumin, paprika and thyme. (Includes slow cooker directions.)--A roast leg of lamb with white wine, onions, olives, garlic, anchovy and peas. It is a spectacular presentation!Some recipes I read about, but did not see ingredient lists or instructions for:--Boozy baked chicken with peppers--The Italian classic La Genovese, which is beef with onions--Summer vegetable stew**I received a temporary download of a portion of this cook book from the publisher. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/191743041-gennaro-slow-cook-italian-traditional-homemade-recipes-for-classic-one](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/191743041-gennaro-slow-cook-italian-traditional-homemade-recipes-for-classic-one) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
