reader rating · 27 ratings

Co-authored by Marianne Greene and Elizabeth M. Berkey, RDN LD CDCES, with nutritionist Ana Moreno as editor, *The 5 Ingredient Diabetic Slow Cooker Cookbook* delivers 60 five-ingredient slow cooker recipes with 15-minute prep times and a low glycemic weekly meal plan aimed at people managing Type 2 diabetes. Its professional credentials and tightly scoped design make it a purposeful, accessible resource for its target audience, though its deliberate constraints mean it is not built for readers seeking culinary breadth or already well-versed in low glycemic meal planning.
