Book Reviews of 125 Best Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipes
Book Review: Tasty, nutritious, make-ahead recipes that please my whole family
Summary: 5 Stars
I love cooking, but with a husband who usually doesn't get home until 7:30 and a toddler who is most demanding of my attention right before dinnertime, getting everybody fed was a struggle.
Enter this book.
I love 125 Best Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipes because:
- The dozen recipes that I've tried have all been outstanding. A few of them I would go so far as to categorize as gourmet standard.
- There's a great introduction with extensive tips on slow cooking.
- I get to cook in the morning, when the baby gives me the most time to cook.
- Half the dinner dishes are done hours before dinner. (i.e. prep dishes, cutting boards, knives, etc.)
- The recipes that I've tried have been quite economical to prepare, since whole veggies are cheap. This is especially true now that I have a few key spices in my spice cupboard.
- I feel good about getting more veggies into my family's diet. We aren't vegetarian, but we still love these recipes. Sometimes I supplement with grilled sausages, chops, etc.
- My toddler has happily eaten 9/10 of these dishes.
- We're a family of three. Generally I get two meals out of these recipes, or they're great for feeding hungry guests.
This is _not_ the book for you if you're a dump-it-and-go slow cooker. Most recipes involve softening veggies, etc. in a separate sautee pan, which seems to really irritate some folks.
However, if like me, you like to cook, but want to control _when_ you cook, this is a fantastic book. For stay-at-home moms and dads, you'll get dinner prep out of the way in the morning and have time for your kids and spouse at night. For working folks, there are extensive sidebars explaining how to prep most recipes the night before, so you can come home to a hot meal.
FYI, some of our favorite recipes have been Poached Eggs on Spicy Lentils (substituting hardboiled rather than poached eggs); Sophisticated Mushroom Barley Soup; Savory Cheddar Cheese Soup; and Creamy Leek Soup with Stilton. Have fun!
