Kathy Hester

Kathy Hester develops vegan recipes that make it easier to get a nutritious dinner on the table night after night. She is passionate about teaching people how to eat better with less effort and without spending a fortune. Kathy went meatless back in 1983 when it was hard to find tofu and tempeh, much less modern-day luxuries like vegan marshmallows and a range of non-dairy milks. Kathy spends her free time transforming her front yard into a veggie garden, entertaining (vegan fondue anyone?), writing her Healthy Slow Cooking and Busy Vegan blogs, and developing delicious meatless recipes that even picky eaters and omnivores love. If you’ve been wanting to get more greens, whole grains, and vegan protein sources into your diet you’ll definitely want to learn Kathy’s innovative methods for fitting healthy, whole foods into your busy schedule. Kathy’s first book, The Vegan Slow Cooker: Simply Set It and Go with 150 Recipes for Intensely Flavorful, Fuss-Free Fare Everyone (Vegan or Not!) Will Devour, comes out this October from Fair Winds Press. Here’s what people are already saying about the book:

“This book might just revolutionize vegan cooking! Kathy Hester’s recipes are ridiculously fast and easy, unbelievably delicious, and believe it or not—cheap. Bravo, Kathy!”
–Kathy Freston, New York Times best-selling author of Veganist

“ Kathy’s stellar recipes and straightforward instructions will have you creating hot, fresh, gourmet meals in just minutes a day. No more slaving away in the kitchen. With The Vegan Slow Cooker, you’ll be eating like a queen with just the flip of a switch!”
—Rory Freedman, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Skinny Bitch

“ The health advantages of a plant-strong diet are compelling and well proven. But preparing yummy meals that are wholesome can be time consuming. That’s where this book comes in. Slow cookers can be huge labor and time savers, if you know how to use them. This is the book that will show you how.”
—John Robbins, author of The Food Revolution, The New Good Life, Diet for a New America, and other bestsellers

Kathy Hester lives in Durham, North Carolina, with her two cats (that would rather not live together), a cute dog with a belly-rubbing addiction, her very own picky eater, and more slow cookers than any one person should own.
