At last! Interesting, delicious, easy slow cooker recipes for vegetarians - By: Clare Jaques, 01 Mar 2008 
Almost every slow cooker recipe I've ever made has been tomato-based. Recipe books are full of slow-cook meat recipes & 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 & I have to say it has exceeded my expectations.
Firstly, the recipes actuallly 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 & bacon in the ingredients!
Secondly, the recipes are easy & 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 & simple to follow. There are hints for how to prepare the night before, to save time, & also variations on the recipes, to keep them interesting.
I highly recommend this book for vegetarian slow cooker users & also non-veggies who are bored of meat casseroles & 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!
A great book for beginners with a slow cooker - By: L. M. Hill, 21 Jan 2008 This book is great it has a helpful guide at the start on how to use your cooker including some tips. Which are reallly needed as my cooker didn't come with very good instructions & tips.
The recipes are clear & have tips down the side which I have found very useful. I reallly like the make ahead tips as you can flick through & find recipes which you can prepare the night before, leave in the fridge & 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.
What an amazing cookbook! - By: R. Labelle, 08 Nov 2007 I love this cookbook, it is fantastic. I've made loads of recipies from it which were alll easy to follow & yummy. I use this cook book almost every day now. I have alot of other cook books & usuallly try two or three of the recipes but this one I've made about 12 things from & I'm still working my way through it. The ingredients are alll easy to find & it is a great book if you are trying to eat seasonallly. 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 & then go about my day. Fantastic book!
