Harper Collins has two Sally Wise cookbooks on Slow Cookers on sale today, although their email only mentions the first:

Slow Cooker: Easy and Delicious Recipes for All Seasons: $2.99
Amazon Kobo B&N Google Play

The Complete Slow Cooker $3.99
The complete guide to slow cooking from Australia's number 1 slow cooking author. A bumper edition of recipes from the best known, best loved and the biggest selling author of books on slow cooking, Sally Wise. this combination of SLOW COOKER and SLOW COOKER 2 is packed full of Sally's great recipes, drawn from a collection created over thirty years of preparing tasty and economical meals for her family.
Amazon Kobo B&N Google Play

I don't have either, yet, but it would appear The Complete Slow Cooker is the better deal if the latter contains all of the recipes from her Slow Cooker and Slow Cooker 2 books. The ad copy sounds like it probably does, and the claimed page counts make me suspect they do.

But, I wonder . . . . The babies didn't give the ratings, so it must have been the parents who did. Do we really believe that they tried out this stuff before giving their ratings? I don't think so.

That one's not actually a cookbook, but a pop-academic sociological history of various common foodstuffs and North American meal-eating practices etc. by Canadian Margaret Visser (Wikipedia). Excellent and recommended; I've had this in hardcover for many years.

I passed this up (to buy, for myself) when I came across it yesterday. But, after GARussell's and ATDrake's posts, I'm going to take a hard look at it.

I am not going to bother with making a separate post on the Audiobooks thread, but if you buy the Kindle ebook, you can get the audio (Whispersync) for only $3.99. Total for the whole deal: $5.98. I didn't check the price at Audible, but you can be sure that the audio alone there is much more than $5.98. I might go the Whispersync route, myself--I've got way too many ebooks to read now (that's one reason that I passed it over yesterday), but I think that maybe I can squeeze in an audiobook.

I'm replying to myself. That's spooky. ha

Regular Audible price: $29.23. The average rating is a little tepid: 3.6, from 23 ratings--I'm going to have to listen to a sample before deciding on buying the audiobook. I've gone ahead and bought the ebook.

Thanks GARussell and ATDrake!

Yeah, my thinking has been that this thread is the most appropriate for books concerning food and drink. I'm guessing that people interested in food and drink click on this thread a lot!

Food Fetish by Patricia Borlenghi

The everyday life and diary of a food lover describing the enjoyment of simple meals and wine. It is mainly set in Emilia Romagna in Italy but there is some background information about the author's food-dominated childhood in London. The book contains recipes and illustrations. Although there is a strong Italian influence, many of the recipes are cosmopolitan in flavour and use fresh and seasonal produce.
