5.0 out of 5 stars The best Diabetic Recipe Book I have found, April 15, 2011

This review is from: Biggest Book of Diabetic Recipes: More than 350 Great-Tasting Recipes for Living Well with Diabetes (Better Homes & Gardens (Plastic Comb)

Well, I ordered several Diabetic recipe books recently. This one is produced by better homes and gardens. It features a really good variety of recipes. The Preparation and cooking times listed are accurate. The Carb and calorie counts are accurate as well. My copy came spiral bound so that it opens flat to make it an easy reference while cooking. I have tried several of the recipes and found every one to be delicious. If I could offer any suggestions on how to improve the book the only one for me would be to add the glycemic load for each of the dishes.

If you only buy 1 Diabetic recipe book, this is the one.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC, July 14, 2008

I am not one to use Cookbooks only because I love to experiment. Yet, I did purchase this one for various reasons.

I have tried several recipes and they all have been Surperb. The ingridents are those that most kitchens have.

All recipes are easy to do.

My Husband was shocked on how wonderful they all have been since they came out a DIABETIC Cookbook.

Highly recommend this item and the price fair.

I purchased at a well known bookstore.

Happy Cooking!!!
