The Vegan Slow Cooker

I'm curious whether personal health goals, environmental concerns, or convenience motivated the selection of recipes. Did the author experiment with different types of dishes to find the best for slow cooking?

Many of the recipes seemed to blend ingredients I wouldn't normally think of together. Were these inspired by traditional cuisines or the author's own experiments?

I wonder if the ingredients and techniques are beginner-friendly or if some dishes require special equipment or hard-to-find items. Would love to hear from those who tried them!
