This is a slow cooker recipe. The beans in it can cooked up to 2 days in advance. It may be cooked for 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 hours on low or 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 on high. It takes quite a bit of preparation, so it's served for special occasions. From Sunset magazine, slightly modified. Posted for ZWT 5.

Overall, I thought this dish was pretty good. The flavors were nice and the duck confit was cooked well. However, I found the cassoulet to be a bit dry. I would add more liquid next time.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less butter and cream next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of duck, but I'm so glad I did! The duck confit was cooked perfectly and the cassoulet was incredibly flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I thought this dish was just okay. The flavors were not as bold as I expected and the texture was a bit mushy. I probably won't make it again.

This recipe was a disaster! The cassoulet was bland and the duck confit was tough. I do not recommend this recipe.

The duck confit was amazing, but the beans were a bit undercooked. Overall, I enjoyed the dish and would make it again.

The cassoulet was good, but I found it to be a bit too salty. I think I will reduce the amount of salt next time I make it.
