Slow cookers have been rediscovered by a whole new generation of busy families, students and professionals. People on the go love being able to throw wholesome ingredients into a cooker, close the lid and come home to a hot, satisfying meal at the end of the day. However, most slow cooker cookbooks feature recipes using meat, poultry and fish, and include only a few vegetarian recipes. This book features 125 new and outstanding vegetarian recipes including: - Cannelloni with Tomato and Aubergine Sauce - Three-Bean Chilli with Bulgur - Louisiana Ratatouille - Rice and Bean Casserole with Cheese and Chillies - Creamy Leek, Potato and Mushroom Stew with Blue Cheese - Succulent Succotash - Potato-and-Cauliflower Dahl with Spicy Shallots - Cider Baked Beans - Meatless Moussaka - Mushroom and Artichoke Lasagne - Also provided is useful information about the basics of slow cooking and tips like using whole leaf herbs and spices. Common pantry ingredients are particularly helpful in turning out great-tasting and innovative slow cooker food. Now, vegetarians can enjoy all the benefits of slow cookers.

Lots of good advice for cooks who have never used a slow cooker as well as some specialized advice on going meatless in the slow cooker.--Myrna Collins"Appleton Post-Crescent" (02/02/2005)

At last! Interesting, delicious, easy slow cooker recipes for vegetarians
1 Mar 2008
By Sunshine
Format:Paperback
Almost every slow cooker recipe I've ever made has been tomato-based. Recipe books are full of slow-cook meat recipes and stews, but I was bored already, after just a few months of owning my slow cooker.
So I had high hopes for this recipe book and I have to say it has exceeded my expectations.
Firstly, the recipes actually are vegetarian (many of them are vegan). I say this because other slow cooker recipe books have "vegetarian" sections which are packed with meat stock, chicken soup, fish sauce and bacon in the ingredients!
Secondly, the recipes are easy and they work. Again, despite being pretty experienced in the kitchen, I've had the experience of embarrassing failures with other slow cooker recipe books.
Thirdly, just reading the recipes made me want to get cooking! They are inspiring, delicious and simple to follow. There are hints for how to prepare the night before, to save time, and also variations on the recipes, to keep them interesting.
I highly recommend this book for vegetarian slow cooker users and also non-veggies who are bored of meat casseroles and fancy a change.
So far my favourite recipes from this book are:
Peanut & Potato Loaf
Raspberry Custard Cake
Lentil Shepherd's Pie
Wild Rice With Mushrooms & Apricots
French Onion Soup
Caramelised Onions
Hot Roasted Nuts
I hope you enjoy this recipe book!

This book is great it has a helpful guide at the start on how to use your cooker including some tips. Which are really needed as my cooker didn't come with very good instructions and tips.
The recipes are clear and have tips down the side which I have found very useful. I really like the make ahead tips as you can flick through and find recipes which you can prepare the night before, leave in the fridge and then put in the cooker the next morning.
Yes the book does not contain many pictures, but the descriptions/tips are so good you know what you are doing by following the instructions.

I love this cookbook, it is fantastic. I've made loads of recipies from it which were all easy to follow and yummy. I use this cook book almost every day now. I have alot of other cook books and usually try two or three of the recipes but this one I've made about 12 things from and I'm still working my way through it. The ingredients are all easy to find and it is a great book if you are trying to eat seasonally. I make my family's dinner in the morning but I don't need to wait around for it to cook, I just switch the slow cooker on and then go about my day. Fantastic book!

Bargain priced book. Lovely nutricious recipes, easy to follow, not fiddly in preparation, also easy to adapt and add to.

Not great
This was the first book I bought when I got a slow cooker and it was quite disappointing. Lots of the recipes require too much preperation, defeating the object of using a slow... Read more

Ease of use
This book is easy to understand and accurate in its results. By providing stages you can complete the day before, it satisfies those who feel it saves no time.

You need to like chili...
I have had a slow cooker for years and felt guilty about not using it. Most slow cooker books tend to be meat orientated, so I was please to find a vegetarian book. Read more

The Slow Cooker appears incidental to these recipes
The reviews here led to my decision to buy this book rather than other vegetarian slow cooker recipe books available on Amazon. Not one of them mentioned the following negatives. Read more

This book is great. The recipes are easy to follow, and really delicious. And she doesn't make up for not using meat by shoving in loads of cheese, which seems to happen a lot in... Read more
