Hearty stews. Rib-sticking chilis. Tender pot roasts. The real secret is a long, slow simmer at a constant temperature, and no appliance does this better than the slow cooker. If your old slow cooker recipes disappointed you, throw them away! The Slow Cooker Ready and Waiting Cookbook is for people who love good food!

Rick Rodgers has adapted an eclectic array of American and ethnic dishes for the slow cooker. They're all here: fancy fare (Farmer's Market Lobster and Corn Chowder, Sweet and Sour Brisket, Erna's Sauerbraten), everyday favorites (Ground Beef Chili with Cornmeal Dumplings and Herbed Tomato Sauce with Parmesan Meatballs), side dishes (Potatoes Euphoria, Smothered Green Beans, Sugarbush Beans) -- even desserts (Strawberry-Strawberry Cheesecake, Bourbon Bread Pudding, and Lemon-Raspberry Pudding Cake). Ideal for entertaining, the slow cooker keeps crowd-pleasing dips and holiday punches warm from the beginning of the party to when the last guest leaves.

A special section explains how to choose the right-size slow cooker for your needs, how to adapt a favorite recipe, and what can (and can't) be prepared in a slow cooker.

Kathy Hester, bestselling author of The Vegan Slow Cooker and The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook for Your Instant Pot, combines vegan cooking with all the decadence of fried food to create dishes that are healthier to eat and easier to make.

The air fryer’s popularity is due largely to the fact that it uses little to no oil, allowing a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional frying. Not only does Kathy incorporate an oil-free option in every recipe, but many recipes also have gluten-free and soy-free options. With recipes like Avocado Black Bean Chimichanga, Cheesy Hot Sauce Collard Chips, Jalapeño Poppers and Cajun French Fry Po Boy, eating healthy has never been easier or tastier.

Kathy has a combined social media following of 30K and is the author of many vegan cookbooks including The Great Vegan Bean Book, Vegan Slow Cooking, The Easy Vegan Cookbook and The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook for Your Instant Pot.

Vegan Cooking in Your Air Fryer will include 75 recipes, each accompanied by a full-color photograph.
