The Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker
Simple and Sophisticated Meals from Around the World
Lynn Alley
As Mark Bittman said in the New York Times, “Go ahead and sneer. I love my slow cooker. . . . Even food snobs like me are realizing their potential, albeit a little later than the more than perhaps 100 million Americans who already own one.” Featuring classic and innovative dishes designed to delight family and guests alike, The Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker will satisfy fans’ hunger for new budget- and eco-friendly recipes—and encourage even more busy gourmet cooks to jump on the slow-cooker bandwagon.
Packed with globally inspired recipes for favorite vegetarian dishes that require minimal active cooking time, such as Italian risotto, Mexican caldos, Indian dal, Middle Eastern rice pilafs, vegetable-based curries (both Indian and Thai), and a wide variety of potato and polenta dishes, Lynn Alley revamps vegetarian slow cooking and presents recipes that are more exciting and enticing than the soggy offerings in other meatless slow cooker cookbooks.
There are more than fifty recipes in The Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker, each vegetarian, some vegan, all of them delicious. They don’t require exotic and expensive ingredients; simply the artful combining and preparing of what is at hand.
- Cracked Wheat Berries with Honey and Ricotta
- French Alpine Cheese, Tomato, and Onion Soup
- Moussaka with Artichokes, Tomatoes, and Potatoes
- Stacked Cauliflower Enchilada with Green Chile Sauce
- Red Wine and Cherry Risotto
These vegetarian comfort dishes with international flavor are perfect for busy parents and young professionals, and vegetarians and time-strapped omnivores alike.
