QUOTE:

In an age of coffee pots that have your brew waiting for you when you
wake, who is willing to stand over the stove for 40 minutes while whole
grains become porridge? There are funnies waiting to be read.

Thankfully, Robin Robertson offers a solution -- and an uncommon use for a
common appliance -- in her recent paperback book, "Fresh From the
Vegetarian Slow Cooker" (Harvard Common Press, $14.95, 275 pages).

As the title suggests, Robertson's book offers more than 200 recipes using
the ubiquitous slow-cooker, along with interesting facts about them
(including that manufacturer Rival alone has sold more than 81 million
since 1971).
