1,001 Delicious Recipes for People with Diabetes

Book Overview

Anyone with diabetes knows how important it is to eat well, but healthful food need not be dull, nor does reducing fat and calories have to mean giving up flavor. Why feel deprived when you could start the day with blueberry pancakes with blueberry maple syrup? Company coming? Everyone will enjoy a savory chutney cheese spread or queso fundito followed by pork tenderloin with gremolata. For an easy weeknight dinner, try lasagna casserole or pizza with carmelized onions and smoked turkey. Want to indulge a sweet tooth? Lemon cloud pie or white chocolate cheesecake will satisfy. The recipes in this massive book draw on the latest diabetes recommendations and make the best use of the new lower-fat ingredients available today. Each recipe is accompanied by a nutritional analysis and the most current diabetes exchange information, and the book includes timely information on exercise, carbohydrate counting, and food-exchange lists.

Customer Reviews

Great-tasting food for non-diabetics too.

I'm not diabetic, but as I looked through the appetizers section of this cookbook, I just had to try it. The recipes sounded that yummy. I bought the book and recommend it highly to anyone who wants to cook tasty food without resorting to lots of fat and sugar to do it. I am on Weight Watchers, and the recipes are points-friendly without being tasteless, and "tasteless" is how I would describe every WW recipe and every "healthy" frozen dinner I have tried--sorry to say. By contrast, the food from this cookbook is great. I made the monkfish-cheddar chowder from the book last week and that recipe will be a longterm keeper. [By the way, it works with talapia or another firm white fish if you don't want to spend $$ on monkfish or can't find it at your local, land-locked grocery. :-)]One of the best things about the book is that it teaches without being at all preachy. For instance, the chowder recipe called for pureeing some of the vegetables and broth before adding the fish. I first thought, "That's a pain in the neck," to this apparently unnecessary step, but I did it, and realized that the soup is much thicker and creamier--without cream--because a portion of the veggies were pureed. I learned something AND I got a great soup out of the deal.All recipes list calories, sodium, fat, protein, carbs and the like, as well as "exchanges" for those to whom that language is useful. No fiber grams are listed, which makes the recipes a little harder to estimate WW points for than they would be otherwise. Perhaps in a future edition, the authors can list fiber grams. In the meantime, I'm very much enjoying the book and the food I can make with it.

1,001 DELICOUS RECIPES FOR PEOPLE WITH DIABETES

I'M A RECENT DIABETIC. I HAVE LOOKED OVER COOKBOOK AFTER COOKBOOK. NONE ADAPTED TO MY TASTE OR LIFE STYLE. THIS ONE IS TOTALLY GREAT. I MADE THE WALDORF SALAD FOR THANKGIVING. MY FAMILY'S WAS CRAZY ABOUT IT. THE HUNGARIAN GOULASH WAS GREAT ALSO. I HAVE BOUGHT, BUT I HAVEN'T TRIED THE 1,001 DESSERTS BOOK YET. IF IT IS AS GOOD AS THE RECIPE BOOK, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING THE DESSERTS ALSO. IF YOU ARE DIEBETIC, YOU HAVE TO TRY THESE BOOKS. I CAN'T RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH.

A Great Book!

I found this book to be incredibly helpful! Not only are there a variety of recipes, but this book also contains comprehensive nutritional information and general cooking tips for beginners. I've been cooking for more than thirty years, and this book stands on my shelf with very few other cookbooks as one I will actually use. I know we're not supposed to talk about the price of the book, but here goes: for my money, you won't find a better value. There really are a thousand and one recipes, but the other information truly puts this book over the top. Buy, try it. You won't regret it.

The best diabetic cookbook ever

This is the most comprehensive cookbook for diabetics I've ever seen. Once you start using it, you won't be thinking of what you think you shouldn't eat, but will concentrate instead on all the wonderful and delicious recipes that will enable you to stay in control. The ones I made were really delicious, and very easy and to make, and since all the recipes have exchanges and nutritionals, including carbos, cooking diabetic meals is a no-brainer. With over a thousand recipes, you'll find hundreds you'll like; a fine addition to your kitchen bookshelf.

This book is great!

As a newly diagnosed diabetic I knew I was going to have to change my food habits. But, I also enjoy cooking, and entertaining friends will delicious food. This book is the perfect one-stop solution! It's loaded with great recipes for literally every occasion! The only down-side is that there are no pictures -- but then we couldn't have it for such a reasonable price!
