Why must most cookbooks, even one for diabetics, try to be a "gourmet" cooking experience? Stock your spice rack and pantry well before preparing these recipes and you will be rewarded for your culinary efforts. Well, maybe.

I am by no means a "meat and potatoes" person and enjoy preparing tasty dishes, but why can't someone compile a collection of healthy recipes of simple, home-style cooking. Smothering perfectly good cuts of meats with onions, adding curry to everything "under the sun" or using not-so-common spices isn't my idea of everyday recipes let alone a "best of" cookbook.

This book was given a favorable review in our local paper. After receiving this cookbook, I re-read the article to be sure they reviewed the same book. What were they thinking?

I did not find this cookbook as difficult to use as the other reviewer. The recipes are fairly straighforward and taste good. The thing that drives me CRAZY is that this is a cookbook for people who are really trying to control what they eat and the book does not even give serving sizes! It says a recipe serves 4-6 or makes 40 cookies, then gives nutritional info per serving but never tells you how many cookies are in a serving?!

This is a good book but not enough down home recipes for the everyday family
