Here’s another teaser from The Vegan Slow CookerIt comes out October 1.

Stews are the perfect way to start using your slow cooker while you are away at work. They need the least attention and shouldn’t over cook if you come home a little late.

However, if you are going to be very late or find that your slow cooker runs particularly hot add an extra 1/2 to 1 cup of liquid to make sure it doesn’t burn. Typically, I do this the first time I cook a dish and then gauge from the result how much liquid I’ll use in the future.

Here’s another teaser from The Vegan Slow CookerIt’s available for pre-order, but it doesn’t come out until October 1.

Soups are amazing. Ranging from light, brothy soups to a hearty Hungarian Mushroom Soup that’s thick and rich with cashew cream. No matter what the season, there’s a soup that’s perfect for it. Summer wants chilled soups, Spring and Fall want to celebrate the local harvest, and Winter just would like to keep warm.

I seem to want soup all the time. If I’m sick I want Hot and Sour Soup or Smoked Tofu and Stars. If I’ve found some great veggies at the market I want to make a soup that features them. I could spend all winter eating soup and fresh-baked bread, but Cheryl won’t hear of it!
