This revised and updated edition of the best-selling cookbook Fresh
from the Vegan Slow Cooker--now with a plant-based focus--offers 225
extremely convenient, delicious, and completely plant-based recipes for
everyone's favorite cooking machine.
In this inventive cookbook filled with enticing ingredients and flavors,
veteran chef, cooking teacher, and acclaimed vegan cookbook author Robin
Robertson shares her expertise on the creative use of slow cookers.
Fresh from the Plant-Based Slow Cooker includes 17 new recipes
throughout eleven recipe chapters, four of which focus on main courses.
There are homey and comforting foods in the American and European
style, such as a Rustic Pot Pie Topped with Chive Biscuits and a Ziti
with Mushroom and Bell Pepper Ragu, and there are many East Asian,
South and Southeast Asian, and Mexican/Latin dishes, too. Beans,
which cook slowly under any circumstance, are fabulously well-suited to
the slow cooker, and Robin includes such appealing recipes as a Crockery
Cassoulet and a Greek-Style Beans with Tomatoes and Spinach. Over 20
recipes for robust chilis and stews include a warming Chipotle Black
Bean Chili with Winter Squash and a surprising but yummy Seitan
Stroganoff. Beyond the mains, there are chapters devoted to snacks
and appetizers, desserts, breads and breakfasts, and
even one on drinks. The many soy-free and gluten-free recipes are
clearly identified.
Fresh from the Plant-Based Slow-Cooker also provides practical
guidance on how to work with different models of slow-cookers,
taking into account the sizes of various machines, the variety of
settings they offer, and the quirks and personalities of each device.
Robin addresses any lingering skepticism readers may have about whether
slow cookers can have delicious, meat-free applications, and she shows
how to take into account the water content of vegetables and the
absorptive qualities of grains when plant-based slow-cooking.
Altogether, this new edition offers you an abundance of ways to expand
your plant-based repertoire and to get maximum value from your
investment in a slow cooker.
