Crockpot Cookbook

[Guest guest]

I recently picked up Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker: 200

Recipes for Healthy and Hearty One-Pot Meals That Are Ready When You

Are. I haven't had much of chance to use it since we moved recently

and my stuff is packed but it looks promising.

 

Racheal Ray from the food network has a veggie cookbook out but her

non veggie books have very adaptable recipes.

 

 

BTW: I'm glad to read that I'm not alone in buying tons of cookbooks

and reading them. My fiance thinks it's weird that I sit in bed at

night reading my cookbooks...I tell him how else am I going to get

ideas for meals.

i found " fresh from the vegetarian slow cooker " in a used bookstore a couple of

weeks ago, and i really like it. the fact that i got it for just $7 just makes

it even better! i havent tried a whole lot of the recipes yet, i have a hard

time of plan my food a whole day ahead (but im getting better), but there's a

lot i want to make!

Hehehehe! I'm also guilty for buying James cookbooks for

Christmas......who are they really for??? Although he has been known

to crack open a cookbook when he wants to do something new or

specific.

If I've noticed that we're in a rut of eating the same foods I'll

grab a book and start reading through it. Many of my cookbooks

have " story " sections or informational pieces about a particular

food. They can be very inspiring.

That sounds wonderful (plenty O recipes! I'm going to see if I can't

find a used copy online. Thanks for that title.

I've got lots of cookbooks as well. I've got several that I haven't

even opened yet (and forgotten about)! Ya know, I must take a look to

see if I've got some type of crockpot/slow cooker ckbk. lol

My newspaper had a review of that cookbook and published a few recipes from it a

year or so ago--they're both in the archives, including an amazing breakfast

bread pudding with gimmielean sausage in it (i drool thinking about it).

Overall though, how vegan is that book?

hey suz! i didnt know you were on this list... i totally expected an ani list

email when i saw your name in my inbox... as for the cookbook, it's vegan. i

know it says vegetarian, but there's no mention whatsoever of eggs and whenever

milk or cheese is needed it says " milk or soy milk " or " parmesan or soy

parmesan " , etc. i love it.

hehe, i know! i was surprised to see you too when you posted the other day, but

then i figured one of us probably reccomended it to the other, or both heard

about it on the ell-jay. While we're name dropping, Shannon and I just called

someone about getting a pair of ferrets from a rescue group, and that womyn is

on this list too

ANyways--post your fav recipe from the book, pleeeeease, I need inspiration and

would love to have dinner when I get off work tomorrow.

oh i don't even know. there are so many good ones! which really isnt that

surprising, considering its written by robin robertson, the same person that

wrote " vegan planet " which i swear by! aaron (my husband, a little clarification

for those who aren't suz) LOVED the mashed potatoes i made. i think we ate them

with baked tofu nuggets (not slowcooked). it's a really easy recipe too. today

we're eating a ziti casserole, also from the same cookbook (fresh from the

vegetarian slowcooker, i think the name of it dissappeared when i snipped most

of the previous babble out). here's both of those recipes:

 

rustic mashed potatoes with garlic:

 

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 large garlic cloves, minced

1 1/2 lb potatoes, left unpeeled, well scrubbed and cut into 2 inch chunks

1/2 cup vegetable stock (i think this part is what made it so good... i used

stock i made from a recipe also in this cookbook -- if anyone's interested i'll

type that one up too)

1/4 cup heated soymilk

salt and pepper

 

spread the oil on the bottom of the crockpot. add garlic and potatoes, cover

with stock and cook on low for 4-5 hours. when the potatoes are soft, add the

milk and season with salt and pepper. mash the potatoes and serve right away.

 

 

slowcooked ziti casserole:

 

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, minced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes

1 12 oz package frozen burger crumbles (i will probably use tvp... question is

how much. a cup maybe?)

1 cup hot water

1/2 cup dry red wine (what do i use instead of this?)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried

salt and pepper

8 oz ziti, cooked, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves

1/3 cup vegan parmesan cheese

 

heat the oil in a skillet, add onion and cook for about 5 minutes. add the

garlic and cook until fragrant. put this in the crockpot. add tomatoes, burger

crumbles, hot water, wine and dried basil, and season with salt and pepper.

cover and cook on low for 3 1/2 hours. stir in the ziti and cook on low for

anohter 20-30 minutes. when ready to serve, stir in parsley and fresh basil (if

not using dried) and sprinkle with cheese.
