This is a fantastic cookbook with lots of interesting recipes for vegans, vegetarians, and even their carnivorous counterparts. I was looking for a good vegetarian crockpot cookbook because my other one is a bit bland. I was immediately sold on this one for a handful of reasons: Hester actually makes use of fake meat in her recipes, which adds some nice variety; the collection has a broad range of unique recipes (not just the regular stews and soups, but baked goods in a crock pot?! + lots of In

So, I don’t have a slow cooker and might never get one. My building’s electricity is such that I wouldn’t trust leaving it plugged in when I wasn’t home. A friend gave me a pressure cooker years ago and so far it’s gone unused. I think the same thing might happen to its opposite, although this book sure makes it tempting to get and use a slow cooker.
Why am I giving this book 5 stars when most dishes list at least one ingredient I don’t like and there is not a photo for every recipe, More...

The three things I've made so far tasted really good but I had to make several educated guesses. This book skimps on the directions, which I feel is pretty unacceptable for a cookbook. Also, most cookbooks with recipes that call for ethnic or health food store ingredients give specific details guiding the reader on exactly what to buy, often listing particular brands and suggesting stores that carry the items. This book just says "soy chorizo" and "throw it in the slow cooker"

A great cookbook full of 150 recipes that shows that slow cookers are for far more than cooking meat dishes. I have a bunch of recipes tagged to make but the Hungarian Mushroom Soup (modeled after the classic Moosewood recipe but using cashew cream in place of sour cream) was delicious.
Here's a link to the recipe: http://kahakaikitchen.blogspot.com/2011/...

Totally life changing. I hadn't used my crockpot for YEARS before I read this. And I'm not even a vegan. Kathy's recipes are friendly, creative, approachable and delicious. I love the way she points out what you can prep the night before. Srsly, I am probably going to eventually cook every recipe in this book.

I already loved my slow cooker, but this book has made me appreciate it even more! So many ideas (much more than the expected soups and stews) and easy-to-find ingredients inside. I like the layout of the recipes and the suggestions of how you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time for optimal time savings (sauteing onions/garlic the night before, etc.) With the variety of recipes inside, I think I will have vegetable inspirations for many many years to come.

We have loved everything we have made from this. The Hungarian Mushroom Soup is fantastic, as are the different ways of preparing greens (chana saag and the Asian greens are favorites so far). Returning to library and PURCHASING.

Dry beans from scratch! What a great idea. I no longer need to buy canned black beans!
