Publisher Comments:

If you're a vegetarian who thought slow cookers were just for meateaters, Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker will introduce you to the wonders of slow cooking. And if you're already a slow cooker enthusiast, here's a whole new array of healthy, delicious recipes for a favorite appliance. Slow cookers can be used for a lot more than just tough, inexpensive cuts of meat. They're perfect for vegetarian and healthy cooking because slow cooking is a foolproof way to make beans, grains, numerous vegetables, and much, much more.

Review:

"Branching out from the traditional casseroles and stews so popular in the early days of the slow cooker, [Robertson] tackles appetizers, soups and desserts as well, using the appliance with great effect." Publishers Weekly

Robin Robertson provides an astonishing array of dishes, a wide variety of flavors, and excellent cooking techniques; you and your entire family will be healthier and happier for her efforts.” -Annemarie Colbin, author of Food and Our Bones and founder of the Natural Gourmet Cookery School, New York City
 
“Leave it to Robin Robertson to inspire us with such a great idea: Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker will make you want to go out and buy a slow cooker and start cooking these amazing recipes.” - Akasha Richmond, chef and columnist for Vegetarian Times
 
“Finding ways to prepare delicious and satisfying slow-cooked foods, especially vegetarian dishes, is a challenge for anyone who travels a busy path. I use a slow cooker a lot, and the recipes in Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker entice and inspire me.” - Jesse Cool, author of Your Organic Kitchen and Breakfast in Bed

This was excellent. Every recipe I have tried has turned out great. The recipes are also very easy to alter to create a new taste. I'm very please with this one and it has become one of the cookbooks I use all the time. My crockpot gets a LOT more use thanks to this book. The recipes suit the Vegetarians and also the meat eaters. They are simply excellent vegetable recipes.
