Recipes are great - taste great and down to earth

This book for a diabetic cook book uses the run of the mill ingredients and every recipe has been just great - tastes good too. Only the banana bread and I think I did not cook it long enough.

I am the author's son...

I grew up having these recipees rested on me (and my brother David). My mother invented the idea of low-fat good taste cooking. I watched her painstakingly test and re-test every recipee. She always insisted on honest feedback. And you'll reap the benefits by buying this book. A true Godsend for diabetics and dieters.

cool cuisine, healthy recipes + extras

Calculating cook is the book for people who like to eat good food, don't want to eat boring stuff, and like to cook. Recipes fit into diabetic exchanges (lots easier to keep track of than calories) and include extras for nondiabetics. All recipes come with calorie, exchange, fat content worked out by portion. I lost weight without grumbling too much by following the reccommended daily exchange. I am so sorry this is out of print. I lent my copy and it vanished. Hope it gets reprinted!
