The Vegetarian Slow Cooker

Rating:
Summary: Pretty good
Review: A few weird dishes that I wouldn't do in a slow cooker (they're in other slow cooker books too) but the dishes that seem like they should be cooked in a slow cooker that I've tried have been very tasty. I use it when my other cookbooks aren't inspiring me. Recipes are very easy and straightforward

Summary: Finally -- a vegetarian slow cooker cookbook!
Review: This is the first & only vegetarian slow cooker cookbook I'm aware of -- which is long overdue. A nice variety of recipes & a handy little size. Includes main dishes, side dishes, soups, stews, beverages, sauces, breakfasts, and desserts. I've tried a few recipes and was very pleased with them.

Summary: Truly disappointing...
Review: UGH! This book was such a disappointment that I couldn't find a single recipe I wanted to try - I returned it the very next day.

Based on the only review that was here, I thought I'd find nice, healthy stuff that was simple to do with little preparation... there were too many "nut loaf"-type dishes for my taste, and most seemed to begin with time-intensive ("first, saute the onions in a frying pan") steps. Also, possibly due to the quick-cooking veggie ingredients, many recipes were too short to suit working folks for daytime use AND too long for evening use ("4 hours on low").

Summary: Main dishes, soups - even cereals and breads
Review: Vegetarian Slow Cooker lacks color photos but the easy dishes don't need them: they are complete with simple instructions for using crock pots, slow cookers, and multi-cookers to produce delicious vegetarian dishes. Main dishes, soups - even cereals and breads are covered here, but the heart of any vegetarian book lies in its main courses, and here such dishes as Picadillo Sweet Beans and Macaroni and Cashew Cheese don't disappoint.

Summary: If looking for all day crock-pot recipes - don't bother
Review: What a dissapointment. I was looking for a book with recipes in which I could set the crock pot up and go to work, coming home to dinner. Which is the reason why I bought it. This is not the book for that - these seem to be regular recipes that could be made in a regular oven much more easily. There is a significant amount of preparation for almost all of them, and I can't seem to find any benefit to using the crock pot rather than a regular oven, which sort of defeats the point. Most recipes take far less hours than are in a regular workday, or need to be turned off or stirred during cooking. Simply not worth the money unless you have a lot of time on your hands, or work from home.
