In Fresh from the Vegan Slow Cooker, best-selling vegan and vegetarian cookbook author Robin Robertson unites her expertise on the creative use of slow cookers, her ingenuity in the kitchen, and talent for working with enticing ingredients and flavors. She provides practical guidance on how to work with different models of slow cookers, taking into account the sizes of various machines, the variety of settings they offer, and the quirks and personalities of each device.

Robin addresses any lingering skepticism you may have about whether slow cookers can have delicious, meat-free applications, and she shows how to take into account the water content of vegetables and the absorptive qualities of grains when vegan slow-cooking.
