8 slow cooker recipes from the French tradition — translated for the cooker without losing the flavors that define them.
French braises — boeuf bourguignon, daube, coq au vin, cassoulet — are the closest cousins to American slow-cooker culture. The recipes here treat the cooker as the modern Le Creuset, with the same emphasis on deglazing, building a fond, and finishing with butter or cream off the heat.
This page collects all 8 French slow cooker recipes in the Slow Feast catalog. You can browse them all below, narrow by protein, or pick a cook-time window. Every recipe is engineered around the aromatics, spice profiles, and cooking techniques specific to French cooking — not generic slow-cooker formulas with a French label slapped on top.
Every French recipe in the catalog includes the dump-and-go method for weekday cooks, the freezer-meal preparation for batch work, full nutrition information referenced against USDA FoodData Central, and a cross-link to related cuisine and protein hubs. The catalog is updated monthly with new recipes from reader requests and our own kitchen testing.
