Author Martha Drummond has done a good job with this slow cooker recipe collection.The first thing I noted in this Ebook was the excellent presentation and lovely color photos, that added to the appeal of the book right away.The recipes start off with several breakfast choices from the slow cooker.As someone who is an avid cook, vegetarian cooking instructor and cookbook author, it never fails to amaze me just how versatile a slow cooker really is. So many people still think that slow cookers are just good for cooking "big hunks of meat" or a chicken...(I hear that all the time!)and not all the dishes that can actually be made successfully in one of these appliances. Martha Drummond definitely gives the reader a good variety of recipes that showcase the versatility of slow cooking, in an appealing way.The book goes on to include easy to follow recipes for: main dishes, soups, stews...many that sounded tempting and delicious.I'm giving 4 stars as I noted one recipe that had "onion soup mix" in it and another that included frozen spinach. These kinds of soup mixes are loaded with salt usually and frozen spinach is so inferior to fresh IMO in any recipe, that I didn't like those inclusions. But these are small things that could easily be adapted, if desired.Overall, definitely a slow cooker Ebook worth checking out!I'll be keeping this one and plan to try some of the recipes in the future. ;-)Geraldine Helen Hartman author of The Groovy Green Kitchen: Weeknight Veggie Slow Cooker
