I live in Durham, NC with my 2 cats who would rather not live together, a cute dog with a belly rub addiction, my very own picky eater, a kitchen garden, and more slow cookers than any one person should own.
My first cookbook, The Vegan Slow Cooker, is published by Fair Winds Press. (And I just might be working on a second soon, then maybe a third…)
I also do freelance writing and recipe development. Please contact me if you would like to know more about my services.Please use the contact form to get in touch with me, though I get all the post comments as well. If all else fails you can email me directly at kathyhester [at] gmail [dot] com.

Hi!
I like your blog, especially your gluten free recipes! Please keep those coming! I love adding vegetarian meals to my menu as often as I can without my husband kicking and screaming too much. : )
You sound like a fun person! I too live in Durham! And shop at the Farmer’s Market as much as I can. I’d love to have my own garden, but I had to have my hip operated on twice this past year and just couldn’t handle a garden. Don’t know when I will be able to again…makes me sad.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

Thanks for directing me to your blog! I look forward to trying some recipes.
Thanks for the recipes they will make a good adjunct to my more carnivore orientated ones
Hi, thanks for your comment on my blog. I’d love to have you as a guest poster on Vegan Chickie if you’re interested in sharing one of your vegan recipes? email me on nikkidynamo@gmail.com if you’d like to submit something.
I am SO excited to find your blog. I just bought a slow cooker and was having difficulty finding vegetarian recipes for it. Many thanks!
I just put your website link on sparkpeople. You may get a bunch of lookers shortly. Great site and info…Thx a bunch…
Hi Kathy, I just got your vegan crockpot yahoo group email about your upcoming cookbook. 3 months to come up with 150 recipes must be incredibly daunting. I am vegan and have a crock pot that is totally underused as I have no cookbook yet. I’ve just made the green jackfruit “mock pulled pork” recipe I found on other blogs this weekend and it was awesome. I also cook my whole grain cereal in the crockpot every week, and sometimes stewed peas. Helping you out with testing and ramping up my crockpot use would be awesome. On a side note, I live in Canada, near Toronto, so unless you use very hard-to-get ingredients, I should be okay.
Looking forward to (perhaps) hearing back from you.
Forgot to mention that my daughter has 3 cats.
Ohmigod…. I’m going to sound ditsy here…. have just found your website and have already found a billion things I want to cook… I’m in Aus and often find overseas sites have products that we can’t get over here, but all your recipes are accessible and sound amazing…
thank you sooooo much

Hi, I just found your site…..I am so excited because my sixteen yr old daughter is a vegetarian and I am thrilled to have found a site with crock pot recipes because i am not much of a cook but I love my crockpot!!!!!!!! Hopefully she will enjoy a lot of these recipes. Thanks so much, please keep up the great work. Thank you Tami
I just received your Vegan Slow Cooker cookbook yesterday. I HAVE TO make almost every single recipe! I’m sooo excited to get started! I’m not sure what to try first as they all look and sound soooo wonderful!
I am so excited to learn of you through our newspaper. I live in Creedmoor, NC I am just starting to read Forks over Knives and love it. I recently had breast cancer and I am trying to learn all that I can about eating healthy. So, I am glad that I stumbled across you so to speak. I want to buy your book but I am trying to decide what kind of tablet I want so I can buy your ebook if I chose to go that way instead of a book. I would be interested in one of your cooking classes if you will be having any in the triangle….look forward to meeting you one day.. Jody
