Review:
Martha Stewart Review: Now, I want you to know that I have been a CEO, a full-time chef, an entrepreneur, an Emmy-winning television personality and an expert at slow cooking (my book Martha Stewart s Slow Cooker was published in 2017). I am feeling a bit competitive with John Legere since he has followed a similar path and has just written this book, #SlowCookerSunday. I have gone through this book with a fine-tooth comb and must admit that it s pretty good! I like it because it s more than just a book full of great recipes for cooking. It s also a primer for all of us who want some great advice on how to be a great CEO and a successful entrepreneur. John is known in the business world as an unconventional leader, and reading his bold quotes in the book belies that unconventionality and reveals a sensible, straight thinker who gets to the nitty gritty of business problems, listens and acts instead of vacillating and asks questions to get to the bottom of a challenging conundrum. All the while, by the way, cooking up a storm of delicious and creative and well-acknowledged recipes, demonstrating them on TV while wearing a magenta leisure suit in a black and magenta and silver monogrammed outfit with a black toque clearly marked CEO, never letting us forget that T-Mobile and slow cooking have gone hand in hand on his road to amazing success! We are also reminded that John takes chances. For heaven s sake, he hired Snoop Dogg and me to star in a Super Bowl commercial for T-Mobile. We had so much fun re-living our partnership on our TV show, Martha and Snoop s Potluck Dinner Party, making references, of course, to Snoop s use of forbidden substances in his cooking, so lots of greens and cans of bisque while hugging purple cushions! I know Snoop, who just published his first cookbook, will use this book just as often as I will because not only do we love John Legere and his business acumen, but also his bon mots about business! Maybe now that you have a book to promote, John, you ll come on the next season of Potluck Dinner Party? --Martha Stewart
