We're Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough, authors of the best-selling GREAT AMERICAN SLOW COOKER BOOK.

We love slow cookers, mostly because we can create a complicated braise with intense flavors without a lot of work. And because we can set it and walk away to your day to come home to a wonderful braise, soup, or stew.

Mark recently made this complex and rich stew for company. It's made with chicken thighs, parsnips, dried figs, autumnal spices, and orange zest for a little zip.

Listen in and get the recipe. And share the recipe. And make the recipe. Trust us, you'll love the recipe.
