Book Description

October 11, 2011
While fancy and sophisticated foods continue to grow in popularity, ask most people what their favorite foods are and the answer will invariably be classic comfort foods: lasagna, meat loaf, mac and cheese, and cake. Unfortunately, most people think that having diabetes means the days of enjoying these hearty classics are long gone, and that their favorite foods are a thing of the past. Author Robyn Webb shows that healthy eating doesn't have to mean giving up on favorite foods! Diabetes can be overwhelming, but it doesn't mean reinventing the wheel when it comes to cooking. Just a tweak here and there and familiar foods can remain favorites, guilt-free, and enjoyed every day.

The American Diabetes Association Diabetes Comfort Food Cookbook creates a “go-to” collection of updated comfort foods for families that need to cook nutritionally sound and diabetic-friendly meals that will satisfy and soothe the souls of the member (or members) of the family with diabetes—and do the same for the rest of the family. No need to cook two meals to please everyone in the household. Now everyone can enjoy the same hearty and nutritious meals. This book will ease the stress of planning meals by offering easy and flavorful recipes and a menu planning guide that allows for mix and match meals that will keep everyone in the family happy, healthy, and satisfied.

Filled with gorgeous original photography and a beautiful four-color design, this cookbook will look as good as it's meals. Sprinkled with helpful tips and time-saving advice, The American Diabetes Association Comfort Food Cookbook will not only make classic comfort foods healthier and diabetes friendly, it will make them a snap to prepare as well.

Following a diabetic meal plan doesn't have to be a flavorless chore. Now everyone can enjoy the classic foods they know and love!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Cookbook of hers so far March 4, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This has to be my fav Robyn Webb cookbook. About 8 years ago I was out of shape and used her cookbooks to start getting back towards a healthier lifestyle. Well, guess what, I let myself get out of shape again and have decided it's time to get my health back. I purchased this cookbook via Kindle and use my Kindle app on my pc. The recipes have real ingredients and aren't a burden of time in the kitchen. Instead of shopping for a week at a time I'll be doing my shopping for 3 meals, since so many fresh veggies are involved.

If you are thinking of purchasing the book, do what I did, get on YouTube and type in Robyn Webb. She has videos of her prepping dishes from the cookbook. I so can't wait to make the Apple Pandowdy. It looks sooooooo good. Her video of the creamy tomato soup had me box up all the canned tomato soup in my kitchen.

Also, on my list for this week: Rustic Garlic & Olive oil mashed potatoes (I'll throw a roast in the crock pot with onions and frozen green beans, so all the work I'll do is the the recipe for the potatoes this week), Ribollita, and the Chicken pot pie with phyllo, and apple pandowdy for dessert.

Just made the chicken pot pie with phyllo. First experience with phyllo, but can tell you not to cook longer than the 30 minutes. I sorta got distracted by 3 year old twins and let it go an extra 7 minutes and burned the top of my phyllo dough. (Oops!) Scraped off the top layer and the rest was awesome. Really it was good. My only touch was adding extra pepper. Seriously, so good.

March 7, 2012: Yesterday I made the Ribollita. OMG! The only thing I did different was after sauteeing the ingredients as listed it went in the crock-pot with everything else. I'm a working woman and mommy, so cutting up the veggies is enough.

Robyn Webb's "Diabetes Comfort Food Cookbook" is excellent - well written and easy to understand with great tips provided throughout. I also enjoyed the way Robyn introduced each dish with a personal note. I have made several of the recipes and each one has been easy to follow and delicious. My husband who is not a seafood eater by choice loved the crabcakes. Don't be intimidated by the diabetes aspect of this cookbook - I recommend this cookbook to anyone who appreciates and loves to eat great food.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally what I thought it was going to be. October 8, 2011
Format:Paperback
Diabetes runs in my family, so I ordered this book as a preventive measure. I love the recipes. The mac 'n cheese is a favorite and alone is worth buying the book. (I just use gluten-free corn pasta instead.) Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book November 10, 2011
By AZ
Format:Paperback
I love this cookbook. I do not have diabetes but am always trying to watch my weight. I have made several of the recipes-The Ribolita is wonderful, the Salmon with Balsamic Onions is amazing. I am going to be trying some of the baked goods for the holidays. I have given my daughter's several of the recipes and I am going to buy each of them their own copy. This is a book everyone should have.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE DIABETES COMFORT FOOD COOKBOOK April 17, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Everything that you could possibly want in assisting you to provide healthy, nutrition rich comfort foods for pre-diabetic and diabetic diners can be found in Robyn Webb's THE DIABETES COMFORT FOOD COOKBOOK is here. Eye-catching photos of palate satisfying food recipes are organized into categories such as sides and salads, soups and stews, one pot and skillet meals, plus tasty pastas and, of course, desserts, are here with detailed instructions for preparing such foods. Exchange choices and the calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrate, fiber, sugar, and protein content are listed for each recipe at the bottom of that recipe. I really like roasted vegetables so enjoyed the roasted potatoes, carrots, and parsnips recipe, not to mention the braised cabbage and apples recipe. If you indulge in a favorite like mac and cheese, you'll enjoy the version presented here. Read, cook, and find out for yourself just how delectable these recipes are. Savor the trip in preparation as well as the end product. Amazon is amazing in offering this book online and so easy to purchase. Thank you Amazon for bringing this book to my door. Z. Smith

5.0 out of 5 stars At last something that the whole family will enjoy! February 29, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was so happy to finally find a diabetic cookbook where the recipes are not only delicious but also enjoyable for the whole family. My husband eats mostly vegetarian, and my daughter is the world's pickiest eater. They both love anything I have made from this book. If I had any quibbles, it would be that the recipes take awhile to prepare so it is sometimes a challenge on a weeknight to get food on the table in a reasonable amount of time. But it is easy to make some things ahead of time and combine everything later. This is a book for how America likes to eat - I no longer feel as if I'm depriving myself of food that normal people get to eat!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Comfort Foods! January 11, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I ordered this book a few weeks ago when I learned that I had Diabetes. My wife and I have cooked a number of the 'comfort foods' in the cookbook and have been very pleased with the taste and flavor of them. I recommend this book and I'm planning on purchasing other works by this author in the future!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Recipes But Better Alternative Available... November 15, 2012
Format:Paperback
A few weeks back, I borrowed 2 diabetic cookbooks from my friend. The first is this book by Robyn Webb while another diabetic cookbook with 420 recipes belongs to Jennifer Thomas and Michelle Lee.

With these cookbooks, I basically solved my headache of having to prepare special meal for my diabetic family member. These recipes are not only delicious but also healthy, so now we can cook something where the family can eat together.

But the thing is that this cookbook offers fewer recipes, is more expensive and is available as paperback only, while the other is a kindle book with 420 equally delicious (if not more) recipes at a lower price. If I can only buy 1, I will take the kindle book since it offers more value for money.

Most of the recipes I have tried are very tasty. My husband likes them. Unfortunately for this empty-nester family, many of the recipes are for 6 or 8 servings.
