Cookbook review: Fresh From the Vegetarian Slow Cooker

Fresh From the Vegetarian Slow Cooker  ($10.17 at Amazon) is a great cookbook for meat eaters, too. This is a good cookbook for people who want to get better acquainted with their Crock Pots, and let me tell you, the Crock Pot is probably the single most useful kitchen appliance for lazy people ever invented. Don't know how/want to cook? Throw some beans, broth and vegetables in your Crock Pot, go to work, come home, and voila: dinner is ready. The recipes in here can easily be adapted to include meat, but it's a good introduction to using beans, lentils, winter vegetables, etc., which a lot of people are not overly familiar with. I use this cookbook more than any of the other slow cooker cookbooks I have, and I'm nowhere near a vegetarian.
