It’s actually a wonder I cooked anything in April, because my oven thermostat died at the start of the month but I didn’t realise until the end of the month, although I was wondering why everything that went in to the oven came out of the oven bordering on burnt! I’ll never be the sharpest knife in the drawer!
A new oven was delivered and mighty fine it is too. It’s the first new oven I’ve had in my whole life and it’s been the cause of much excitement and much baking!  So without further ado, here are ten old recipes that have been given a new lease of life!
Praise be to my neighbour, Luce who baked this Slow Cooker Chicken and Leek Pie when my oven died… And I had friends coming over for dinner! Luckily, the chicken and leek filling was already cooked to perfection via the slow cooker and hob, and Luce helped get the puff pastry top looking the tops! This pie is one of our new old favourites, the filling takes a bit of time, but little effort and the result is delicious! With winter on the way (at least it is down under,) this is one recipe you will really want to try!
The slow cooker got quite the workout in between the old and the new oven. Being sans oven wasn’t my favourite but on the plus side I got to do over recipes I had totally forgotten about, like this Slow Cooker Thai Red Fish Curry. By slow cooker standards, it’s very quick to cook (2-3 hours max,) and it’s also mild, creamy and totes delish.
