I love my slow cooker. Love it. I also really love vegetarian foods. However.....vegetarian foods don't always love me. I received this book; The Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker, from my mother in law as a Christmas gift, but as I went through the pages I realized, as I had feared, I wouldn't be able to enjoy most of the recipes because they contained FODMAPs ( my mother in law, Dee, also got me a non-vegetarian slow cooker cookbook, which I plan to use very soon, and often). I am able to modify a lot of my favorite recipes to contain less FODMAPs but most vegetarian recipes have FODMAP ingredients as their core ingredient, and for the main source of protein, therefore they are more difficult to modify.
I thought about returning the book, but then I thought NO WAY! I want one of my loyal readers to get this book! I mean, it's a wonderful cookbook, with some fantastic recipes from all around the world.
In order to enter this giveaway all you have to do is tell me your favorite vegetarian source of protein. Easy! For an extra entry you can Tweet this giveaway (and include me in your tweet; @CandidRD) or "Like" my Facebook Page (check in out on the right side of my blog), and let me know you did. I will announce the winner next Wednesday, January 9th.
Good luck, and thanks for reading!

I love my slow cooker and am looking for more recipes! The book sounds great!
ReplyDeleteCurrently, I love lentils as a vegetarian source of protein. I made a very simple lentil soup/stew in my slow cooker when my parents were visiting, and we all loved it.
oooh all over this one! i'd say my fav right now is lentils :)
ReplyDeletetweeted!
ReplyDeleteI love my slow cooker but have found few vegetarian options other than soups/stews. My fav source of protein is beans, any kind of beans.
ReplyDeleteI love my slow cooker too! My favorite source of protein is garbanzo beans, I can't get enough of them.:)
ReplyDeletetweeted :)
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely a fan of beans, of any variety!
ReplyDeletePeanut Butter :)

ReplyDeleteI love all kinds of beans, but black and great northern are my absolute favorites! In high school, my after-school snack was always great northern beans with vinegar and onions on plain triscuits--yum!
ReplyDeleteOh I love that combo! Great idea
DeleteBlack beans are my favorite veggie protein source! :)
ReplyDeleteI love edamame for protein.
ReplyDeleteI just liked you on facebook.
ReplyDeleteI dont have a slow cooker but have heard great things and plan to get one in the near future so this book would be perfect! My fave source of protein would be black beans!!! I love them. I also found a new way to make them with curry powder and they are just delicious. I was also going to say Avocado but cant remember if its high on protein :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite vegetarian protein source is a toss up between black beans and lentils. I had never had lentils prior to doing Meatless May last year, and now I eat them at least 3x/month!
ReplyDeleteAnd I also love using my slow cooker! I'm glad you got 2 new cookbooks, and so nice of you to give one away!
My favorite vegetarian source of protein would have to be black beans....and chickpeas! Love slow cooker recipes, thanks for the opportunity to win the book!
ReplyDeleteTofu and lentils, for sure!
ReplyDeleteOooooh I was going to say chick peas but Madeline reminded me how much I love tofu
ReplyDeleteYum, I would definitely say my favorite protein source would be either black beans or quinoa, love both of them :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely black beans, lentils and tofu!
ReplyDeleteoh I would love this! chickpeas!
ReplyDeleteIt's a tie between black beans and nut butters!
ReplyDeleteI love tempeh!
ReplyDeleteI eat beans every single day, but I really love quinoa... so tasty, and a complete veggie protein too!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite source of vegetarian protein would definitely be beans. They're so versatile and delicious!
ReplyDeleteChickpeas! They're so yummy!
ReplyDeleteAnd tweeted!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous looking cookbook~So sorry the recipes don't work for you!! I am a big fan of beans for protein, but, lately have been including lentils more and more in to my diet. Will spread the work about your fun giveaway!
ReplyDeleteBlack beans! :)
ReplyDeleteI love tofu for protein.
ReplyDeleteI liked you on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteDried beans.
ReplyDeleteI'm on the bean bandwagon! Wish I could like tofu more - definitely depends on the preparation. I would love to use my slow cooker more but other than soups I don't have any recipes that don't include red meat, pork or poultry so I'm going to have to look for this book.
ReplyDeleteI love Edamame! And a facebook like...
ReplyDeleteAny legume out there! But being in Japan I mostly get tofu and edamame when I am out. This looks like a great cookbook.
ReplyDeleteI have purchased bags of dried beans to incorporate into my slow cooker recipes
ReplyDeleteBeans! I love all kinds of beans, kidney, black beans, green beans, chickpeas, so hearty and full of protein!
ReplyDeleteThe slow cooker is just a great invention--easy and all that time allows for such great flavor. My favorite veggie proteins are tofu and tempeh.
ReplyDeleteChick peas and any other kinds of beans.
ReplyDeleteChick peas
ReplyDeleteI love tempeh!! I know it's not the most popular choice but I think it's so versatile and delicious :)
ReplyDeleteI love tempeh too. It's my favorite, but I can't eat it without eating a stomachache. Ugh.
DeleteActually the most popular "favorite" seems to be beans!
Chick peas, I especially like them in desserts :)
ReplyDeletelifesdeepcolors@hotmail.com

What a great cookbook - it's too bad you can't use it. My fave veggie protein is probably nuts/nut butters. I always have multiple jars of nut butters and lots of nuts in my pantry.
ReplyDeleteThis would be a great cookbook to have! I like Edamane and Tofu for vegetarian protein sources.
