YUM! I've been exploring the vegan and vegetarian cookbooks at my library looking for ones to buy and expand my cookbook library. This is the first one that is an absolute must buy (it is also the first one that I had to put in a hold for because it was always checked out).
As one reviewer said, it does call for people to saute veggies before they go into the pot, but that my be because there is so little liquid added. I might try adding things uncooked to see what happens. I really like the fac...more

Definitely one of my most-used cookbooks. I make the red lentil/carrot/coconut/whatever soup probably once a month or so. I find that the recipes could usually stand a little tweaking; often there is just no spice whatsoever. There's one potato curry that calls for a pound of potatoes and a teaspoon of curry. Ummm. What?
But overall the recipes are at the very least good launching points.
One problem I have is that many of the recipes call for canned or pre-slow-cooked beans. What the fuck is the...more

I enjoyed looking through this cookbook for recipes to cook for myself. I saved a couple of them in Evernote to try later, the Lentil Sloppy Joes and a spinach and artichoke dip. One of the common threads in the recipes, I noticed, was using a skillet to pre-cook before mixing everything together in the slow cooker. I guess this shows that I'm accustomed to just opening cans and dumping the contents into a crockpot, then shaking in a few spices. Time to try cooking in two pots/pans instead of on...more

I love the rice pudding with cherries and almonds and the bread pudding in carmel sauce from here. For actual food I like the peppery red onions and the mac and cheese recipe. Lots of recipes in here which is awesome for vegetarians and slow cooker lovers. The recipes are time consuming but they are yummy and usually last us the week.
This book has my go to recipe for the best ever Mediterranean lentil and spinach soup. I've made a handful of other soups and casseroles and all have been delicious. The author tells you exactly what you can prepare beforehand, if applicable, which is great for meal planning and timing. My copy of the book is wrinkled with bits of food and liquid, so this book is definitely well loved in our home.

This is a wonderful cookbook with great recipes. There's lots of traditional "comfort food." Some people have complained that you have to do too many steps before putting the food in the slow cooker (sauteing vegetables, boiling noodles, etc.), but I can't complain. I still think the recipes are pretty easy.
Not bad, but to be honest all I ever use is the basic beans recipe. Many of the recipes seem a stretch for a slow cooker and involve elaborate pre-cooking. When it comes down to it, I have my doubts that a slow cooker is really useful for anything but beans and meat dishes.
There are some really original and tasty sounding recipes in here. Many, many vegan recipes and most of the other recipes could be veganized easily. I'm excited to dig in!
This book had tons of great recipes, several of which I tried and liked without having to tweak too much. I'll be moving shortly and already know that at least one of the recipes in this book will be bubbling away as I get things sorted. I love coming home to wholesome, healthy meals!
Overall great cookbook. I enjoyed all the recipes I made from this book minus the one pasta mishap. The crockpot makes everything so easy. Recipes were easy to follow and the author marks those that are or can be vegan friendly. This is a book I will definitely go back to.
B- Some decent-sounding recipes, but she heavily relies on cheese and mushrooms; a lot of the recipes are quite similar.
