Who’s the author? Heather Whinney is a cookery writer and food stylist who loves creating delicious recipes that suit busy lifestyles and the ever-changing ways we like to cook and eat food. She has worked with publications including Good Housekeeping, Woman and Home and Prima, and is the author of Cook Express and The Slow Cook Book.

What’s it about? The humble slow cooker is capable of so much more than hearty meat-based stews and casseroles. With The Green Slow Cooker, Heather shows us how to create 80 fuss-free vegetarian and vegan recipes, all cooked in the slow cooker for maximum flavour.

This book shows just how versatile your slow cooker can be whatever the time of year, with a wonderful collection of recipes that involve minimal effort: just throw the ingredients into one pot, cook low and slow, and enjoy!

Recipes we love: Spring Green Minestrone with Orzo Pasta, Vietnamese Tofu Pot, Courgette and Tomato Provençal Tian, Miso Ramen, and Marrow and Jackfruit Casserole.

Perfect for: Vegans and vegetarians, as well as anyone looking to include more plants in their diet with the help of their favourite countertop appliance.
