Product Description
Delicious food for people with diabetes. Because diabetes affects an estimated 16 million people in the US, half of whom are undiagnosed, there has never been a greater need for authoritative information on the condition. Comprehensive and practical, the Diabetes Cookbook helps people with diabetes take control of their condition and live life to the full. Understanding Diabetes: The American Diabetes Association -- the nation's leading health organization supporting diabetes research -- joins Dorling Kindersley in publishing the Diabetes Cookbook. Describing the two main types of diabetes and explaining the treatment and management of the condition, the book shows how to plan menus to achieve a well--balanced diet and stable blood--glucose levels, and gives advice on interpreting nutritional guidelines and adapting standard recipes. Stylish Food: From Thai Shrimp and Vegetable Curry to Coriander--crusted Lamb Steaks to Fruit and Amoretti Trifle, over 100 beautifully illustrated recipes demonstrate that a diet for those with diabetes need be anything but dull. Each carefully devised recipe is accompanied by a full nutritional analysis. There are also tips on individual foods, alternative ingredients, and serving ideas. Menus To Suit Everyone: The Diabetes Cookbook shows how easy it is to plan menus that are appropriate to people with diabetes and that also appeal to family and friends. There are recipes for all occasions, including buffet lunches, children's snacks, vegetarian suppers, and three--course dinner parties. |

Appetizing Dining for Diabetics and Everybody Else, too by Katie Osborne (Portland, Oregon and the sunny Caribbean)  5 Stars
October 04, 2009
I have quite a few cookbooks for diabetics, not because Hubby Dub or I are diabetics, but because good food is good food. If the recipes measure up, then I want the cookbooks in my ever expanding library.
From the The New Family Cookbook for people with Diabetes I've found plenty of mouthwatering recipes, particularly the Italian Turkey Sausage with Peppers and Onions on page 270 and the Onion Cheese Bread on page 51 and the smell that wafts throughout your house when you're cooking is just heavenly.
From the Diabetic Gourmet Cookbook I've done the Roast Chicken with Black Raspberry Sauce on page 103 and both Dub and I loved it. Sometimes it's hard to get him to eat healthy. It helps when the meal is delicious.
From the American Diabetes Association Diabetes Cookbook I've done the Peppered Beef Fillet with Mashed Potato, Peas & Horseradish and Dub loved it and okay, it's beef, sometimes if you want to keep your man, you've gotta give him red meat. This meal was delicious. Also from this book I've done the Pork & Cilantro Meatballs with Tomato Sauce (I added spaghetti) and we loved it. This cookbook is terrific, Diabetes or not.
From the Diabetes Low-Fat and No-Fat Meal in Minutes I've actually cooked quite a few meals. I've had the book a long time and know many of them by heart. Of course, I make changes here and there, but what cook doesn't after she's familiar with a recipe. This book is great for cooking up something fast. Good and easy recipes are what you'll find here. One recipe I really like is the Sauerkraut Confetti Salad on page 184. Dub hates it, but I do it at least once a month anyway. He just pushes it around on his plate, till I give him a glare, then he takes a bite or two. Sauerkraut is good for you and you don't have to always at ham, fatty sausage, and franks to it.
Lastly, for this posting, I'd like to talk about three of the meals I've prepared from The Joslin Diabetes Quick and Easy Cookbook. The Bow Ties with Asparagus, Cherry Tomatoes and Mushrooms on page 86 is very good and it's a very good way to use bow tie pasta. I'm a sucker for anything with tomatoes in it, so I was predisposed to like this, but it exceeded my expectations. For Sunday brunch you might want to try the Garden Frittata on page 26. It's a delicious pancake-style omelet. And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention one of my favorite all time recipes, the Turkey Scaloppine Marsala on page 133. There are a lot of good recipes in this book.
These five cookbooks all have one thing in common, they are full of good recipes. The fact that they are also diabetic cookbooks shouldn't put you off from getting them and trying out some of the recipes. You will find a lot of fine meals you can enjoy in these books.

Disappointing by Lady Z (TX)  2 Stars
February 28, 2006
Recipes are intricate, difficult and call for ingredients that are not "on hand" for the average person, especially a working family.

Odd ingredients by A. Ross (Wyoming)  1 Stars
October 19, 2005
I didn't like this cookbook because it had odd ingredients. A gourmet cook or someone dying of boredom from regular cooking might enjoy it though.
