Phenomenal Book!

This is one of the best cook books I've every had! I use it probably several times a week. The recipes are delicious, interesting, healthy. She really knows her way around a slow cooker. I have tried several other slow cooker books and the recipes come out truly disgusting. In this book, though, the food is so flavorful and tasty. I can hardly believe it. For a busy working professional, it is just the best. You can eat dinner and then at night when there is less stress, you can prepare the meal to put in the slow cooker overnight. It will be ready by morning and you can even bring some for lunch. I have been trying to limit the fat I consume and so I do the sauteing in vegetable broth instead of the small amount of fat she recommends. It is really exciting to be able to eat such tasty, wholesome, healthy food. I have served these dishes to guests who loved them. Also, I am not a very good cook but even a beginning cook can make really delicious meals with this book. It is practially fool-proof.

Delicious and nutritious meals

I've now tried about 10 of the recipes from this book and I have to say I have been very impressed. I decided to start adding more vegetarian meals into my and my partners diet. I would say over 80 percent of the meals were pretty good. I have found that it is more challenging to add a lot of flavor to vegetarian meals. The author gives quite a few good tips (for example, to toast the cumin seeds or to crush the pepercorns or how to properly poach an egg). The author does recommend pre-cooking or rather sauteing prior to placing the ingredients in the slow cooker which does add quite a bit of additional time but so far the results have been really worth it. I tried other vegetarian books with much more limited success, usually the recipes lacked flavor. So if you are used to cooking a lot of beef or chicken recipes with intense flavor, and now want to augment your vegetarian repertoire then I would recommend this book.

Thank goodness for this book!

I am a vegetarian with two young daughters - and no time to cook. On top of that my kids are allergic to dairy and soy. I had no idea what to cook for our family and how to find the time to cook it until I found this cookbook. Every recipe I have tried so far (and there aren't that many I haven't tried) has been really good. I start the recipe the night before, stick the slow cooker insert in the refrigerator, and then pull it out and get it going in the morning. There aren't that many vegetarian slow cooker cookbooks out there, and the others I've found have been duds, but this one is a keeper!

Yummy!

I love this book! I received this book as a gift. In the month that we've had this book, we've made about 10 of the recipes from the book, and truly, all were delicious! We prepare the dishes in the evening, and the next morning we plug in the Crock-pot on our way out. We've had no disappointments with this book so far!

Easy AND Healthy!

This book is a great variation on the traditional meat slow cooker recipes. I have found Judith Finalyson's other slow cooker books to be easy and foolproof and this one is no exception. I love these recipes for entertaining whether or not the guests are vegetarian - from appetizers to dessert they make cooking a joy.
