Product Description
Discover the amazing versatility of the slow cooker! If you're a vegetarian who thought slow cookers were just for meat-eaters, 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. ''Until now most slow cooker cookbooks have been heavily meat oriented, leaning mightily on processed, preservative-heavy ingredients. Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker changes that. What a good idea! Here, every ingredient is fresh and real, and there's not a single pot roast with dehydrated onion soup to be found! Hooray for this cookbook's ease, innovation, delicious-sounding variety, bright ingredients, and fine results. Not just vegetarians, but anyone who needs cooking ease but doesn't want to sacrifice full flavor or health, will rejoice in this inviting book.'' - Crescent Dragonwagon, James Beard Award-winning author of Passionate Vegetarian

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 wasn't 100% sure this would be a good purchase, but went with it because of the promised tips. I love the great section on cooking basic beans, and the fact that she gives slow cooker sizes (so you know how to adjust ingredents before you fill it up and see that it's overflowing, or hardly full at all). Less useful is that it's all in American sizes, and some recipes call for funny ingredents. When I first bought it, I was frustrated that it seemed like yet another cookbook for SAHMs, rather than real people who are out (you know, the ones who use their slow cookers?), but then I actually looked for recipes that take 6-8 hours to cook, and gave up after bookmarking about 15 or so. While that seems like pathetically few in a book of 200 recipes, given that there's about 15 recipes in the "apetizers and snacks" section, and 11 in condiments-- who knew you could make chutney in a slow cooker?, and 20 in the deserts section and 9 in drinks, it's not such a small proportion of mains that can take all day vs mains that you have to fuss with, and there's plenty of random cool things you could do with your slow cooker. I'd also recommend this to meat eaters, too, for interesting additions to the menu when a veggie comes to visit. Put a roast in the oven for yourself, and one of these dishes in the slow cooker, and off you go. I've made 3 of the recipes in the 3 weeks since i've had this book.
