Veg Cookbooks

The Date: Monday, September 12

The Delivery: 50 Simple Soups for the Slow Cooker by Lynn Alley (not vegan), Raw Food for Everyone by Alissa Cohen, and The Vegan Slow Cooker by Kathy Hester

Staff Pick: The Vegan Slow Cooker

The DL: In this day and age, everyone is looking for a quick fix, some instant gratification, and a one-stop shop. Well, slow cooker meals are sort of like that, in the sense that you throw food in a pot and turn it on, and then not at all, because the meals take hours to cook. Here's to half-winning! With recipes like Thai Coconut Pumpkin Soup, Savory Cheddar Sausage Bread, and Earl Grey Poached Pears, we think this new cookbook could be a full-on winner. 

Raw Food for the Masses

The Date: Friday, May 21
The Delivery: A book and some Esperanto Spiced Oil
Staff Pick: Raw Food for Everyone by Alissa Cohen

The DL: If you're looking to delve into raw food, this book looks like it could be a good addition to your collection when it comes out later this year. Cohen may just know a thing or two about raw food, being the owner of Grezzo Restaurant—a raw, vegan restaurant in Boston.

For a little Friday fun, we're giving a bunch of goodies away on our Facebook page. Check it out!
