Busy Peoples Slow Cooker Cookbook or 100 Best Vegetarian Recipes

Busy People's Slow Cooker Cookbook

Author: Dawn Hall

Slow cookers are convenient and save time. And Busy People's Slow Cooker Cookbook makes even the preparation quick and easy. Each of the more than 200 recipes in this book is made with seven or fewer easy-to-find, grocery store ingredients. Most can be prepared in less than ten minutes. The preparation can even be done the night before and the entire slow cooker placed in the refrigerator until morning.

But convenience is not the only reason to use Busy People's Slow Cooker Cookbook. From exquisite cakes with warm berries oozing down the sides to hearty soups, creamy chowders, and delicious entrees complete with side dishes prepared in the same pot, Busy People's Slow Cooker Cookbook is a creative collection of low-fat recipes that look and taste as if you have been working all day in the kitchen.

Each recipe in Busy People's Slow Cooker Cookbook is complete with nutritional information, preparation time, and cooking time, along with helpful hints and money-saving ideas. It is bound in an easy-to-use hardcover concealed spiral binding.

Daisy Porter - Library Journal

Twelve years ago, Gelles wrote 1,000 Vegetarian Recipes; this volume is much more approachable than that weighty tome, featuring 100 of the best recipes from the earlier book in a slender hardcover decorated with a mouthwatering photo of snow peas. Yet inside it's not so pretty. Cookbooks should have large, clear text because of the need to read them from a distance while stirring your salsa or adding a dash of dill, but this one's type is too tiny for this reviewer's eyes. The front matter is nothing new, consisting of the usual list of pantry staples and some food definitions. Does the modern vegetarian cook really need balsamic vinegar or soy milk explained? Most of the recipes (Veggie Chili, Black Bean Burritos, Hummus, Noodles with Peanut Sauce) can be found in any vegetarian or comprehensive general cookbook. Recommended only for libraries with huge demand for vegetarian fare.
