Crock-pots are not just for pot roast anymore.
A lot has changed in the years since crock-pots first hit the scene in the 70s, when our mothers and
grandmothers used to use their trusty avocado green or harvest gold crock-pots to cook tough cuts
of meat or to make beef stew.
Nowadays, talented chefs and cookbook authors have taken crock-pot cuisine to a whole new place.
Today, delectable plant-based recipes for crock-pot soups, stews, curries, casseroles, breads, party dips,
desserts, and more, are almost commonplace.
And veteran restaurant chef, cooking teacher, and acclaimed writer, Robin Robertson does a masterful
job of demystifying the craft of creating delicious, plant-based, vegan crock-pot cuisine in her cookbook,
“Fresh from the Vegan Slow Cooker: 200 Ultra-Convenient, Super-Tasty, Completely
As the author aptly notes…
“The irresistible appeal of a slow-cooker is its
convenience and simplicity.
Turn it on, and it cooks dinner while you do other things.
You have no pot to watch. It doesnt burn or spill over.
Just set it and let it do its work.
“Next thing you know, your kitchen smells heavenly,
like a home-cooked meal, and you feel like your
personal chef did all the work.”
Robin Robertson
“Fresh from the Vegan Slow Cooker” contains more than 200 recipes using only
plant-based ingredients.
Most of us know that a slow-cooker is perfect for cooking beans, soups, and stews,
but you’ll discover a whole new “slow-cooking world” in this marvelous book.
Did you know that you can make pizza in a slow cooker?
I didn’t !
You can even make delicious bread, marmalade and cheesecake.
“As I’ve explored new ways to use the slow-cooker
for plant-based meals, I’ve been continually amazed
at the effectiveness of slow cookers for vegan recipes.
“Over the years, I have developed scores of new recipes
and explored the worlds cuisines to discover more creative
ways to prepare food using the slow-cooker method.”
Robin Robertson

WOW! I really need to get into slow cookers more. I have never been one to do much with them but I know I should! This was a great post that just might make me get a movin’ and a groovin’

Hi Jennifer,
These are really great for making soups and stews but there are so many other recipes to make as well.
I need this book in my life! Before I went plant-based I used my crockpot ALL the time, but I am trying to find ways to use it now, especially since the first chill of Fall is in the air now. Thanks for the review and the chance to win that beautiful machine!
