Don’t be fooled by the words “slow cooker” in the title of this cookbook. Yes, there are a number of slow cooker recipes included, but there is a lot more, besides - recipes to be cooked in the oven, on the stove top, or eaten raw. Bill Levitt, the author of Superfood Genius! 99 Mouthwatering Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipes, Green Smoothie & Raw Food Recipes, is a nutritionist and “at home chef” who originally compiled this book of his favorite “superfood” recipes for his clients. The 99 recipes included are divided by meal, including desserts. For breakfast, try Dried Blueberry and Hempseed Muffins; Kale Muffins; Pecan and Zucchini Muffins, Cinnamon Streusel Blueberry Muffins; plus a host of Green Smoothies, granolas, cereals and more. Lunch brings us a dozen exotic salads,  20 soups featuring mushrooms, lentils, black beans, avocado, kale, carrots and more. Dinner is the slow cooker category, with 10 recipes ranging from slow-cooked Curried Vegetables with Garbanzo Beans, to Super Simple Vegetarian Chili, to the appropriately named Superfood Soup. A Category named “Superfood Crowd Pleasers” comes next, featuring everything from Fiery Black Bean Burgers, to stuffed peppers, to pizza, to Crunchy Garbanzo Bean Wraps, to Jamaican Curry and Istanbul Stew. For Dessert, try Double Pumpkin Cookies, Chocolatey Chia Pudding, Warm Pear and Quinoa Crumble, Simple Banana Wontons, and more. This is a full-length, full service vegetarian cookbook compiled by someone with a thorough knowledge of both health and cooking. Well done.
