Book Reviews of Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker: 200 Recipes for Healthy and Hearty One-Pot Meals That Are Ready When You Are
Book Review: Beyond tasty recipes that are ready when you are...only thing I'd change is to add nutritional stats
Summary: 4 Stars
This cookbook has changed our evenings. I do some prep work in the morning, throw it in a pot and come home to a hot dinner as though I had a private chef spend the day in my home who didn't want to be paid for his or her efforts after I ate! ha! This means I have more time in the evening to walk the dogs, work out, do some chores...whatever...even if it's just more time to relax on days I need it.
However, none of that would matter if it didn't contain recipes I love. And it's packed with them...a very extensive cookbook with many many recipes so I would think it nearly impossible not to find many you love...whether you are vegan or lacto-ovo veg or just ready for an occasional meat free meal.
The nice thing is that these meals aren't just geared towards main dishes. If you already have something you want for dinner, you can also have a hot dessert ready for family or even guests when you want to spend time concentrating on cooking the main meal and not the dessert. Same with appetizers...if you want to have hot appetizers ready when your guests arrive one evening, you can be mingling or cooking the main dish and have a hot appetizer kept hot for everyone else.
Here's some favorites:
worth the wait chocolate cheesecake
almost irish stew
artichoke dip with a kick
veg paella
cheesy garlic stuffed artichokes
pecan spice cake
veg jambalaya
farm stand chili with chickpeas
enchilada inspired polenta pie
green and white bean casserole
mac and cheese florentine
5 layer veg strata with pesto
cornbread topped southwestern potpie
no hurry veg curry
chocolate peanut butter dream cake
so, that said, with yummy and perfect recipes why did it lose one star for me? This may not matter to others so I wanted to relay why it still may be a five star book for you. Ideally for me I would love to see some nutritionals...even if just the calories per serving and number of people it serves/cal. Because you may not need to watch your caloric intake I did want to point this out because, for those people (who by the way I envy greatly!) I would claim it to be a five star cookbook for you.
But most cookbooks are including the stats now because it's important to many of us and now it's so easy for an author to get via computer programs. I'll do them on my own when a cookbook is good enough that it's worth it for me to spend that time...and this one is...
I love to cook but I love to eat a good meal even more and coming home to a hot meal with more free time left in the evening for me to spend with family...well worth the price of the cookbook and enough recipes are included that we can have a hot meal waiting OFTEN. And with several casseroles included such as cornbread topped southwestern potpie you have your entire meal ready with no side dishes even needed...it's all in one!
