Oh yes! LOL I've long been a fan of Mrs Jaffrey's cooking (and her acting too,

earlier) and I use her book a lot. Indeed some of our favourites here at home

are adaptations of hers or at least inspired by hers. But they are not designed

for the crockpot, ya know.

 

However you might want to try these: Spicy Asparagus Stir-fry from

Hongkong; Broccoli with Potatoes inspired by India and Trinidad; Punjabi-

Style Cauliflower and Potatoes with Ginger; Green Bean and Potato Curry

from Sri Lanka; Black Tuscan Kale with Raisins; Green Beans with Cumin and

Fennel from India; Stir-fried Beet Greens with Ginger and Green Chiles from

India; Sweet Potatoes with Raisins and Cinnamon from Morocco; Chickpeas,

Pumpkin and Raisins with Couscous from Morocco; and here's one easy for

the crockpot: Fireman's Soup ;=)

 

Good luck!

 

Best,

 

Pat ;=)

I meant to say: if there are any listed there you fancy (since I don't know your

taste) in the recipes I listed in my previous post, let me know and I will be

happy to send them on to this list, if that's appropriate ;=)

 

Best,

 

Pat ;=)
