The winter months are well upon us now and for many that means turning to our slow cookers for those rich, meaty stews and other recipes we've come to love. However, "healthy" is not a word most of us think of when we're mixing our ingredients into that big, porcelain pot. But that's about to change thanks to the new cookbook by acclaimed nutritionist Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., and whole foods Chef Jeannette Bessinger, C.H.H.C.

In THE 150 HEALTHIEST SLOW COOKER RECIPES ON EARTH (Fair Winds Press, January 2012, $24.99 US/$27.99 CAN) the "clean foods team" of Dr. Jonny and Chef Jeannette use wholesome ingredients, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, grass-fed beef, wild-caught fish, and pasture-raised poultry in their recipes.

Inside readers will find delicious recipes such as:
