review 1: I find that a lot of slow cooker cookbooks (vegan or not) don't make me want to bother actually using the slow cooker. Either I've made quicker versions of the recipes, or they don't actually need to cook long enough to be practical for people who are out of the house at work all day.This book, however, surprised me. There were tons of delicious sounding recipes, as well as super simple and practical ones (like "preserve-the-harvest diced tomatoes") that I never thought about and will definitely be trying. Can't wait to check out the author's blogs, too!My one caveat for people who are vegan is that a large percent of the recipes use faux-meat products. I know this isn't always a plus. I'm not a vegan so I'm fine with the faux-meat, or I might even replace it with real mea... moret in some of the recipes! Just nice to have some new, healthy recipes for my slow cooker.
review 2: I gave this book one star because it includes a few good tips and tricks for using a slow cooker. I've made almost all of the recipes in the book and was only pleased with two or three soups. As someone who is adapting a whole-foods, mostly vegan diet I am disappointed with this book. Almost every recipe has a fake meat replacement or soy product in it, rather than experimenting with much healthier ingredients like beans or vegetables to find the right texture replacement in the dishes - from a nutritional standpoint, I wouldn't recommend buying this book.The book also needs another edit (or two). Multiple recipes where some ingredients are listed, but never mentioned again. Others are very difficult to understand (lack of flow). Difficult to follow. Not worth the money - there are so many other great vegan cookbooks out there. less
