For the millions of home cooks who swear by the ease and convenience of the slow cooker, this book provides a new array of healthy, delicious recipes. And for the millions of vegetarians looking for simple, hearty fare, this book introduces them to the magic of slow cooking. The book proves that slow cookers can be used for much more than just tough, inexpensive cuts of meat. They are perfect for vegetarian and healthy cooking because slow cooking is a foolproof way to make beans, grains, root vegetables, in preparations such as Spicy White Bean and Sweet potato Stew with Collards, Balsamic-Glazed Carrots and Parsnips, and Boston Brown Bread. Stuffed vegetables such as Bell Peppers Stuffed with Couscous and Lentils, are moist and tender, with none of the oven's dryness. Even desserts such as Chocolate Fancy Fondue and Brandy-Laced Pear Brown Betty, are sensational.

This is an American cookbook using American ingredients, American names for foods and American measurements.
I have American conversion tables for measurements and food names on my fridge and I shop in an American Navy base supermarket, but I still struggle with these recipes. In addition many of the recipes require quite a lot of different ingredients, so you are unlikely to have them all in your store cupboard without prior planning.

I bought this book with very low expectations, but what a brilliant book. Not only is is vegetarian, it is vegan and low fat. I have worked my way through some of the book creating tasty and satisfying main meals and still have loads of things to try. Everyone was a winner, even the recipes I thought might not be to my taste! On the strength of this book I have bought more of Robin Robertsons cookery books and have not been disappointed. One word of warning though, this is an American cookery book and has American cup measures which scare some people. No problem, go and buy a set of American cup measures and you're away. It's actually a lot easier than weighing everything!

I got given a slow cooker and was expecting to make nothing but stew and soup. I did some internet searching and came across this title. After seeing it had Bourbon-Spiked Pumpkin Bread Pudding in it, I clicked "BUY". And am totally glad I did. Still not made any puddings but working my way through it. Everything so far has been really tasty, I even bought another slow cooker !
Today I made "Mac and Cheese Florentine" (though it has no cheese in!) and was thoroughly impressed.
Everything in it is Vegan too, which is unusual for "vegetarian" cook books, they usually get as much eggs and cheese in as they can.
I live alone and do a lot of cooking "ready meals for one" for the freezer, this is the perfect companion.

You eat first with your eyes
Paying £20 for a cookbook, with no pictures and with type large enough to be in the visually impaired section is just a little too much for me. Read more
