Customer Reviews

This really is a keeper

This really is a great cookbook. It's written by a chef who was daignosed as an adult and didn't want to change too many of his eating habits. Nothing in here is artificial--lots of tempting pictures and ideas for all courses. I checked it out of the library first, and liked it so much that I bought it!

great book, lots of interesting infomation and great recipes

love this book. i bought it for a gift for someone who has diabetis, and i was so pleasantly surprised, i ordered on for myself !!! i became a fan of tom's and have gotten his other books, especially the slow cooking book. when i bought the book, i did not realize that the author is the owner of the restaurant Ouest. I have eaten there and it is a must visit when one is in the city. there are great, real life recipes. basic facts that he as a professional who love full flavor healthy food shares. many of the tips are things that one would learn if they were going an internship with a professional, ie ratings for balsamic vinegar, etc... getting this book has allowed me to clear out about 20 other books that were just taking up space on my shelves.

A menu of over 200 dishes from spicy to sweet and sour

Chef and author Tom Valenti has diabetes - and provides a menu of over 200 dishes from spicy to sweet and sour, with all textures, to show that a diabetic meal need not be bland or dull. Even pastas and desserts are included - usual dishes diabetic cookbooks avoid - in a creative collection of dishes ranging from a Chicken 'Pot Pie' to Lobster Rolls and Spicy Coconut Turkey Soup. Any general lending library will relish this presentation.
