diabetic cooking in spanish

Nice book ,great recipies. My grand mother has cooks who don't understand how to cook for a person with diabetices. All carbs, beans, rice, bread, alot of fruit. Her numbers were real high, now they are looking better.They (the cooks) eat peasent food, tastes great but are full of carbs, cheap food...maybe this will help other people with the same problem. She lives in Nicarauga...Thanks to the seller for their help getting this book to centeral America..............

Useful

My mother has been recently diagnosed with Diabetes and this book has good recipes for her to eat healthy and sugar safely. She is in another country so I haven't been able to taste any of the recipes but she says it's working for her (and the rest of the family).

simple and delicious recipes

This cookbook is great for anyone who wants healthy, simple, and delicious Latin food. The book offers recipes from various regions too. The layout is smartly put together as the Spanish and English language versions are next to each other on a two page spread. I've tried several recipes and all have been very good. My mother, who is diabetic, is happy to have new ways of preparing some of her favorites. Highly recommend.
