Hi Kathy! Is there a way to buy a signed print copy of one of your slow cooking books? Vegan Slow Cooking for Two? I tried the ebook version and I think I could use the print 🙂

All my books are available as ebooks on Amazon and I would get the updated version of The Vegan Slow Cooker – it’s nicer.

Nooch is used to add flavor and umami, you could try some mushroom or tomato powder to taste, but start with very small amounts so you don’t over power the recipe.

Greetings! I have 3 of your books and love them all: Easy Vegan Cookbook, Ultimate Vegan Instant Pot & The Great Vegan Bean Book. Would like to purchase The Vegan Slow Cooker (2011) and Vegan Slow Cooking for Two (2013) but cannot find them for sale. Are they available in softback or digital format? Wondering how to convert slow cooker recipes to Instant Pot. Is there a general guideline? Also, since I cannot use nutritional yeast because of allergies (also no soy) what would you recommend as a good substitute for taste and volume? Thank you!!

Just bought Ultimate Vegan Cookbook …. (It looks good.)

Two of your books are already indexed at www.vegbookindex.com

If you want to have the rest of your books added to the index
please send me machine-readable copies of the table of contents.

The point of the index is twofold:
1. Help people find a cookbook to buy
2. Find a recipe once they buy the book.

Regards

I’m not sure if they will all work as is. The IP didn’t exist when I had my testers trying them out. I think all the soups and stews should work on slow cooker, but some recipe you might have to double the recipe if it’s not full enough.

Is there a particular recipe you’re looking at?

Hi
I am very happy to see your coookbook, Vegan Slow Cooking for Two…. It might be just what I’ve been searching for. Can the recipes be cooked successfully in an Instant Pot 3 Quart Mini Duo using the slow cook function?
Thanks for your help.

Hello Kathy,
My 2 posts were about the “Cheesy Broccoli Rice” recipe from your book.
Thanks

In reply to Alba. Can you tell me which recipe you were trying? I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot.

In reply to Alba. I haven't made it in the pressure cooker yet. I would probably cook the rice first, then add in the rest and cook a minute or 2 more.

I’ve tried the recipe in the ‘slow cook’ mode of my instant pot today… Total and utter disaster… :'(

I halved all the quantities of the ingredients, as it’s only me, my partner and my toddler.
I followed all the instructions accurately.
When 1h 30min was up, I opened the lid and there was no liquid left! it had already been soaked up, the rice was nearly cooked. So, what did I do? I added a little more water along with the broccoli florets, hoping for the best… I set the time for 30min more… Didn’t work:broccoli wasn’t cooked… 15min more…broccoli would still not cook and rice was overdone… In the end I took the florets out and chuck them in the steamer. Served the overcooked rice with the steamed broccoli on top.
So disappointed… What do you think were the problems here? What can I do for the next time?
Many thanks for your help. I’m a ‘newbe’ with instant pot and slow cooking…
Kindest regards.
