OMG! They are out of this world. I have so many food allergies it’s unreal (but not chocolate, thank god) and these are perfect. I used cacao powder instead of cocoa powder, soy milk, and Costco’s 51% cacao chocolate chips which have no dairy in them. (But only 1 cup instead of 1 1/2 cups). perfecto! Going to try the fudgesicles next. Thank you so much.

There is someone who does spiral bound on Amazon that’s no affiliated with the publisher. I think the only other way to do it, is to buy a regular copy and have it done at a copy shop.

I would like to purchase: Vegan Cooking in Your Air Fryer for my new wife of my nephew. But I can’t find it in spiral bound except on amazon, and I no longer shop on amazon. Can you direct me to another store that would have the spiral bound edition.
Thank you very much,
Virginia Davis

I think it would be very hard to make nutritional yeast, but it’s easy to order on Amazon.

I love how creative your recipes are! I ordered your book, “Vegan Cooking in the Air Fryer,” a few months ago and love it and I just ordered, “The Great Vegan Bean Book” after reading the 5 star reviews. I was wondering if you have a recipe for making your own nutritional yeast or if you could give a nice substitute for it. Some people have trouble finding it in stores. Thank you, Heidi P.

I’ve been doing some testing on slow cooking in the IP for my revised edition of The Vegan Slow Cooker. I would not do any slow cooker baking in it, or cook recipes that contain dry beans on the slow cooker setting. I think most of the soups and stews would work.

I have cooked dry beans in high slow cooker setting but they are done in under 8 hours. Also the pressure cooker function does dry beans great imho.

Thank you so much for letting me know. Helping people is the main reason I write my books, so I’m thrilled for you!!

I wanted to take a moment and say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I received the miracle that is the Instant Pot along with your Vegan Instant Pot cookbook for Christmas this year, and it has literally changed my life. When I made the decision to go vegan about a year and half ago, the overwhelm set in pretty quickly when I realized that I had to relearn how to do everything (I’m also gluten free). I didn’t have a template or anyone to show me the basics so that coupled with not having a passion around cooking, it basically turned into the same few dishes, salads, canned staples, going to my favorite vegan restaurants very frequently, and tons of Amy’s frozen meals – ALL of that changed 3 weeks ago.

I’ve cooked something new and DELICIOUS literally every. single. day. and it has been MAGIC! I’ve found some of my new favorite recipes EVER in your instant pot cookbook, and for the first time ever I’ve thought, “You know? I could make that! I don’t need to buy it.” My busy executive schedule is no longer a convenient excuse and that missing piece I was looking for has been found. I am so eternally thankful for you, and putting your recipes out there. It is so exciting to wake up everyday and try something new – it’s the best! So much gratitude and love to you from Austin, Texas!!!!

Do you have any tips on how to use these recipes in a multicooker? It doesn’t seem to get hot enough on the equivalent slow cook settings.

The beans will cook in less time, I’d start with 1/2 the amount of time as the unsoaked ones.
