Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Fresh From the Vegetarian Slow Cooker by Robin Robertson is an excellent cookbook. In addition to the recipes there are basic instructions and tips on how to best use your slow cooker.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Robin Robertson has a book called Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker. I didn't like her recipes enough to buy it but she had some great ones. We especially liked her seitan roast ones (Not Your Mama's Pot Roast is great) Definitely worth a peek from the library. Her book also explains the hows/whys of slow cooking which I found very helpful. One awesome use for a slow cooker is to put your dried beans in overnight on low with plenty of water. In the morning the beans will be ready to use in any recipe.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 There is a vegetarian cookbook that is specifically for the slow cooker. I have it but I can't seem to find it right now so I don't know the exact name. I am pretty sure that they sell it through the mail order catalogue. It has a bunch of really good recipes.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 There's a new cookbook out, called Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow-Cooker, by Robin Robertson. While I am not familiar with that book (no use for it as I don't have a slow-cooker) I have many other cookbooks by this author, and she is great, so I would feel very comfortable recommending it just on the basis of how awesome her other books are.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Slow cookers are wonderful for making beans! Pinto beans are easy, you sort, soak over night, and in the morning, drain, rinse, and dump in the slow cooker with onion, a bit of salt(I actually use about 1-1/2 tbsp/lbs. (doesn't make them tough), garlic, chili powder any other seasoning you want, and liquid smoke. Cook on high for about an hour, or not, then turn to low, and eat when you have dinner! Black beans you can do the same way, or not. Kidney beans are good for red beans and rice, just soak over night, drain/rinse, dump in crockpot in morning, with onion, cayenne, again with the liquid smoke(if you want) and any seasonings you want. Eat at dinner time. Soups are easy, I perfer the veggies to be crispy, so I do not precook them. Dump fresh cut veggies, or frozen veggies in the pot, cover with broth or water, and cook on low all day. You can add TVP, but I find it better to add later in the day, rather than along with the rest of them. Maybe half way through cook time, prepare it as you would normally, then dump it in the pot. Chili is easy in it, just make the beans like I said before, add your tomato sauce, and if you want to add a " meat " do it like the TVP. One thing I don't like in the crockpot is Tofu. It gets way to spoungy for my taste. You may feel differently. Rice, can also be added, rather than making it seperately, but white rice comes out way over cooked, IMO, so I add most rice, brown/white, halfway through the cooktime. Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 I'm sorry how do you figure this. Garlic is great for lowing blood pressure. And together with onion it gives a great flavor to spaghetti sauce which is good for making vegetarian/vegan lasagna, speghetti, and other pasta dishes. I also like them in chili and soup. --- Seah Chay Loon <saimeng wrote: > > > Onion and garlic are bad for vegetarian. These two > vegetables are meant for > meat eater.

Are you kidding, I love garlic and onion both! I've been a vegetarian for over 10 years and they don't seem to have been bad for me! :-) >> This is something you find in Asian Buddhism. The Buddhists who are vegetarian (some branches feel it is OK to eat meat as long as someone else kills the animal....don't ask!) believe that onions/garlic inflame the passions. Very short answer, obviously. It's easy enough to research, if you're interested. Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 I was told it hurt our liver if we are not meat eater. It may take many years to see the problem, just like cancer, it takes many years to get it. Onion and garlic have a very strong smell. This strong smell is good to cover up the smell of meat. Try not to take them for at least 5 years then you will be able to understand the meaning of strong smell. Being a full time vegetarian, I never have to worry about blood pressure, it is always at normal level. So, we do not need garlic to lower our blood pressure. Try to replace onion with cabbage when you cook vegetarian/vegan lasagna, spaghetti, and other pasta dishes. It may not taste as good as you are used to strong smell of onion. But to me it tastes good without onion.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Sorry Seah, but I would have to see some strong and clearly convincing evidence that onion and garlic are bad for you before I would stop eating them.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Seah, I have been vegan for 31 years. During that time I have eaten tons of garlic and tons of onion. I have no health problems whatsoever. I would think that within 31 years of not eating meat and eating all the garlic and onions I have eaten, if there was going to be a problem created by eating these things it would have shown up by now. I do not find that either onions or garlic disguises or in any way covers up the smell of meat as it cooks. Granted, my nose may be a bit more sensitive to that smell being that I am a vegan, but I do remember smelling meat as it cooked when I was not a vegan and each kind had it's own distinctive smell with or without garlic and onions. As far as high blood pressure goes - sometimes that can be hereditary. Being vegetarian or vegan does not guarantee normal or lower blood pressure. If anyone in your family has or had high blood pressure, it's always a good idea to keep your eye on your own - veg*n or not. What is your source of information on this subject? I would like to read more about it. God's Peace, Gayle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 That doesn't sound right. For one, onion is a natural anti-toxin. It is recommended to meateaters to get rid of toxins, but since toxins come in all forms, not just in meat, it is good for the vegan too. Most vegan cookbooks, even rely heavily on onion and garlic, so it is unknown in the vegan community as well, your info. I, for one, can't use cabbage, due to my gallbladder being removed, I can't process a lot of roughage. I put myself through it, if it is in a form I like, like spinach lasgna, but not to replace onions and garlic. As to the high blood pressure, it is as much heritary as it is diet based. It can be controlled by a vegan diet, but sometimes there is much more to it. Melanie Seah Chay Loon <saimeng wrote: I was told it hurt our liver if we are not meat eater.
