In her new book, our progressive grandmother Agafya has collected the best recipes for first courses that can be prepared in a slow cooker. To prepare soups in this miracle of technology, you do not need oil or other fat; vegetables can be steamed and soups can be simmered. All this is very useful for adults and children. All prepared dishes can remain heated for a long time or, conversely, can be cooked at a delayed time, so that you do not have to eat the reheated product. The “smart machine” frees up your time and prepares delicious and healthy meals, and in the meantime you can do something pleasant and interesting. Bon appetit!
