If you want to prepare hot, nutritious, home-cooked meals for your family and friends, but feel like time is never on your side, think again!

The Vegan Slow Cooker allows you to create fresh, nourishing cuisine in just two simple steps, using all the healthiest produce, whole grains, and vegan-friendly ingredients found at your local market or farm stand (or home garden!).

Author and slow cooker aficionado Kathy Hester, founder of the blog Healthy Slow Cooking, will show you how simple it is to 1.) Prep your ingredients the night before, in just a few minutes' time, and 2.) Assemble everything in the slow cooker in the morning, right before you head to work.

The result? Perfectly cooked, intensely flavorful, one-dish meals that are hot and ready as soon as you walk in the door--and with hardly any clean-up at all! From your favorite comforting casseroles to fresh and exciting new stews, chilis, and even desserts--all veganized!--you find recipes that cover every meal and type of cuisine imaginable, including:

• Scrumptious Steel-Cut Chocolate Oatmeal
• Nourishing Not-Meat Loaf
• Pumpkin White Bean Lasagna
