The range is eye-opening: from simplified and freshened classics like Greek shrimp with tomatoes and feta, to Israeli sweet and sour meatballs, to Moroccan vegetable tagine, to coffee-caramel flan from Spain. But Scicolone also serves up a profusion of fascinating lesser-known dishes: a creamy polenta lasagna, a port-braised chicken from Portugal, a spiced frittata from Tunisia, and Bandit's Lamb, as well as her own seductive creations, like Cannoli Cheesecake. Review: Great cookbook! - I don't usually write reviews, but this book is fantastic! The recipes are straightforward, uncomplicated, and do not involve obscure ingredients. Every single recipe I've tried so far has been a hit. The meals are authentic and flavorful. Some recipes do involve some precooking as opposed to just dumping everything in the crockpot, but I don't mind doing a little work on the front end if it comes out tasting like I've spent all day on it. I highly recommend this book! Ms. Scicolone also has French Slow cooking and Italian slow cooking books - I just hope she releases a Spanish Slow Cooking book! Review: A nice companion piece to the French and Italian Slow Cooker books; shines for desserts - I own both of Michele's The Italian Slow Cooker and The French Slow Cooker books, and they are in frequent rotation in my Hamilton Beach Premiere Cookware 5-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker for their winning combination of authentic flavors and relatively easy prep. I preordered her latest, Mediterranean Slow Cooker, and quickly bookmarked several recipes that caught my eye. In the French Slow Cooker, Michele demystified soufflés for the slow cooker. Here, you'll find a variety of egg dishes like spinach and feta omelet, spicy vegetable eggah, Israeli breakfast favorite shakshouka, and a delicate green bean and scallion torta that would all make fantastic brunch options. The poached salmon in court-bouillon was a winner, especially when paired with the suggested tzatziki, and the shrimp with tomatoes and feta (my personal preference was to switch out the white wine in the sauce for red) was also a favorite. The crunchy mustard chicken diable has the ingenious solution of slow-cooking bone-in chicken thighs, then toasting panko on the stove and coating the chicken at the last minute so the topping remains crunchy (this would make a great picnic dish!). And the pork ragu with broken lasagna Maialino-style was an unexpected gem; the simple sauce is served over irregular sheets of lasagna noodles tossed with Parmigiano and arugula. Fans of lamb will find plenty to rejoice over, including numerous Greek recipes like Bandits' Lamb (stuffed with salty Greek cheese) and Middle Eastern lamb and pine nut meatballs. Vegetarians will also find some offerings, such as red lentil soup, winter squash and chickpea soup, polenta with herbs, wheat berry tabbouleh, bulgur and toasted walnut pilaf, and farro with spring vegetables. Like her other slow cooker cookbooks, you'll also find "out of the pot" recipes that use precooked beans, etc.; here these offerings include a Greek country chickpea salad, hummus, and Turkish beet and goat cheese dip. For me, the real star of the book was the desserts. The entire section is crammed full of intriguing finds, like several Greek-inspired cakes (sunny orange cake with orange syrup, walnut cake with cinnamon syrup), decadent cheesecakes (the first recipe I tried was the awesome cannoli cheesecake; see above for a photo) including Nutella, several flans, bread puddings, and fruit (blushing pomegranate pears, warm fruit compote with mascarpone sauce). This is a worthy investment if you enjoy Italian, Spanish, and Greek food, and most of the ingredients should be easy to find at your local supermarket. Yes, there is some prep involved in the chopping and sautéing of veggies (and browning of meat) before cooking, but this adds a wealth of flavor to the final dish that is well worth the extra time (and if you have a slow cooker with a metal insert, you can sauté and cook in the same dish). The desserts alone are worth the cost of the book; Michele taught me that I can make showstopping cheesecakes in my slow cooker, a trick I never would have thought to try on my own! (I used Nordic Ware Leakproof Springform Pan, 7 Inch set on a Spice Ratchet 16812 Blossom Multi-Use Silicone Trivet, Black ). **Update 1/20: In addition to the cannoli cheesecake, I've also made the sunny orange cake with orange syrup (which is basically a revani or basbousa, in this case lightened by folding in whipped egg whites), coffee flan, and the chocolate hazelnut cheesecake (see photos above). Maybe it's just my particular slow cooker, but I found that my cakes baked much more quickly than the suggested times, so check at least 30 minutes before the book times to play it safe. ***Update 5/26: I have also tried the roasted beets and beet and goat cheese dip, basic recipe for chickpeas and the country chickpea salad and hummus, and next up is the coconut flan (everybody RAVES about the coffee caramel flan, so I wanted to try the variation!). I have enjoyed every dish I've tried from the Mediterranean Slow Cooker! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #288,181 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #49 in Soups & Stews Cooking #67 in Spanish Cooking, Food & Wine #78 in Mediterranean Cooking, Food & Wine | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 269 Reviews | ## Images ![The Mediterranean Slow Cooker - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815iyHy9+xL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great cookbook! *by C***O on June 13, 2014* I don't usually write reviews, but this book is fantastic!

The recipes use fresh ingredients, require a bit of prep work, but the result equals fantastic meals. I could not believe that a slow cooker could be used to create food that is restaurant quality. These are great recipes for entertaining; the slow cooker method allows you to enjoy hosting guests while the dinner is cooking. I was so impressed with this cookbook that I ordered the Italian Slow Cooker, which we are also enjoying. I especially like that the author offers "go with" suggestions. Take a look. You won't be disappointed unless you are looking for recipes that are dump and go. If you are, these cookbooks are not for you. --- ## 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.no/products/3947922-the-mediterranean-slow-cooker](https://www.desertcart.no/products/3947922-the-mediterranean-slow-cooker) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
