The Vegetarian Slow Cooker
 by Judith Finlayson

Combines all the advantages of eating more vegetables and grains with the convenience of the slow cooker!

With both vegetarianism and slow cookers becoming mainstream, the timing seems perfect for a new slow cooker book focused on the vegetarian lifestyle.  Judith Finlayson has developed more mouth-watering recipes with broad appeal that address a wide variety of needs – from great family food to more sophisticated dishes for entertaining.

Published in 2004, Judith Finlayson’s first vegetarian slow cooker book, 125 Best Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipes, has sold over 60,000 copies.  Recognizing it was time for an update, Judith used some of her favourite recipes from that book, drew from her more recent books, and developed 100 brand new recipes to create this full colour volume that will appeal to a wide range of tastes, including those of the flexitarian, “a sometime vegetarian who consciously monitors their consumption of meat, with a view toward improving not only their own health, but also that of the planet”

The Vegetarian Slow Cooker includes recipes for:

• Bread and Breakfasts
• Starters and Snacks
• Soups, Fondues and Savories
• Mostly Veggies
• Pasta and Grains, Beans, Lentils, Tempeh and Tofu
• Sides and Desserts
• Updated traditional standards and classic meat dishes that have been recreated as vegetarian versions.

Vegan-friendly recipes are clearly identified, as are recipes for entertaining, and those that can be halved for smaller families.  With everything from family favorites to exotic dishes represented, these recipes will inspire both full-time and occasional vegetarians to pull out their slow cookers.

With these outstanding recipes and the slow cooker’s help, even the most time-pressed person can arrive home to enjoy a delicious home cooked meal!
