and deep knowledge of Japanese cuisine in sixty recipes that

Robin Robertson has built a publishing record of successful books in the vegetarian/vegan category. Her earlier cookbook, Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow-Cooker, established her bona fides as an expert on the creative use of slow-cookers, and her entire body of work speaks to her ingenuity in the kitchen and the breadth of enticing ingredients and flavors with which she works. Fresh from the Vegan Slow-Cooker provides practical guidence on how to work with different models of slow-cookers, taking into account the sizes of various machines, the variety of settings they offer, and the quirks and personalities of each device. She addresses any lingering skepticism readers may have about whether slow-cookers can have delicious, meat-free applications, and she shows how to take into account the water content of vegetables and the absorptive qualities of grains when vegan slow-cooking. Fresh from the Vegan Slow-Cooker includes eleven recipe chapters, four of which focus on main courses. There are homey and comforting foods in the American and European style, such as a Rustic Pot Pie Topped with Chive Biscuits and a Ziti with Mushroom and Bell Pepper Ragu, and there are lots of East Asian, South and Southeast Asian, and Mexican/Latin dishes, too. Beans, which cook slowly under any circumstance, are fabulously well-suited to the slow cooker, and Robertson includes such appealing recipes as a Crockery Cassoulet and a Greek-Style Beans with Tomatoes and Spinach. Eighteen robust chilis and stews - two more categories that do well in the slow-cooker - include a warming Chipotle Black Bean Chili with Winter Squash and a surprising but yummy Seitan Stroganoff. Beyond the mains, there are chapters devoted to snacks and appetizers, desserts, breads and breakfasts, and even one on drinks. The many soy-free and gluten-free recipes are clearly identified. Altogether, the collection offers readers loads of ways to expand their vegan repertoire and to get maximum value from their investment in a slow-cooker.
Garbanzo. Cannellini. Fava. Calypso. Edamame. Adzuki. It's true: beans have the coolest names ever. But besides that, they're also one of nature's most perfect foods. Packed with protein, nutrients, and flavor, you might even call them a vegan's #1 best friend (don't worry, we won't tell the trail mix, veggies, or French fries ). But with so much versatility and variety, where does one begin? Right inside these very pages, that's where. In "The Great Vegan Bean Book," author Kathy Hester primes you on everything you need to know about the best way to cook--and eat --every bean you've ever seen (and a few you probably haven't). From soaking times, to cooking times, to what to puree, to what to saute, you'll be dancing delicious circles around those legumes in no time. Not only that, but you'll also get to try your hand--or is it your mouth?--at some of the tastiest, most innovative bean recipes in this lentil-filled land. From beanalicious burritos, to pretty-pea curry, to legume-laced blondies, you'll be partying protein-style, every meal of the day
Nuts, grains, vegetables, fruits and seeds all provide healthy fuel for the body and in combination, they make complete protein powerhouses that easily deliver this essential nutrient. Whether it is Multi-Layered Avocado Toast for breakfast, Acadian Black Beans and Rice for supper or No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies to satisfy a sweet tooth, Ginny Kay McMeans has a protein-packed option for everyone. High-Protein Vegan includes advice on how to build muscle and lose weight, information on the best foods to eat to achieve a strong, healthy body and recipes for DIY seitan. With more than 125 recipes, McMeans proves that vegans don't have to skimp on this important nutrient.
As cooks, whether that be in a professional or home kitchen, there is

environment. To cook greener.

Discover the cuisine of a secret part of southernmost Tuscany, known as La Costa D'Argento - the silver coast, in the second edition of Acquacotta. In this cookbook, Tuscan-based, Australian-born writer and photographer Emiko Davies has compiled and adapted her Italian family's best-loved recipes from Capalbio, Monte Argentario, Giglio Island and inland to the hot springs of Saturnia and the ancient Pitigliano. It is a celebration of the region that's named for the shimmery salt-and-pepper sand along this part of the Tyrrhenian Sea, its rolling hills, long beaches, overgrown fig trees, rambling vineyards - and rich culinary history. The latest iteration of Acquacotta features a beautiful new cover and a vegetarian and gluten-free index that highlights a different side to Italian cuisine. In words and pictures, Emiko guides readers through the use of local ingredients, as well as sharing the history of rustic, storied dishes including scampi and potato soup, hand-rolled strozzapreti noodles, spinach and ricotta tortelli, chestnut gnocchi and the classic fig and chocolate bread, pagnotella. Plus, of course, the book's namesake acquacotta, a quintessential Maremman peasant dish that captures the spirit of this special place.
