This book came in great condition. I love the recipes and the fact that you are only cooking for two...which means two meals for us single people. They are tasty and easy to create!! Worth purchasing.

This cookbook is a wonderful resource for anyone with diabetic or cardiac issues. The nutritional information is spot-on for two people, no guessing how much is a serving or how many calories or carbs. This is the best book of its kind that I've seen.

GREAT BOOK!!! EASY TO COOK RECIPES THAT ACTUALLY TASTE GOOD!!! I RECOMEND THE SWEET AND SOUR PEACHES AND CHICKEN. LONG STORY SHORT MY WIFE AND I HAVE LOST A SMALL CHILD (56 LBS.) IN ABOUT 9 WEEKS WITH THE RECIPES IN THIS BOOK. WE STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN OVER HOW GOOD THE FOOD TASTES WHILE STAYING IN THE 250 TO 300 CALORIE PER SERVING RANGE. HOPE THEY COME OUT WITH A SEQUEL I'LL BE THE FIRST IN LINE!!!! ed.

I bought this cookbook because of my husband's health problems. The recipes are wonderful and easy to follow. It is also nice to find a good cookbook that is made for two people servings. It is much easier for older people to add to a recipe instead of having to cut the recipe portions down. The cookbook covers a good selection of all different types of recipes for soup, salad, main course and even desserts. There is a good sized section on fish which I really liked.

Maybe it's just me, but I wasn't thrilled with this book. I couldn't find any recipes that I couldn't wait to try. Disappointed.

More than once I previewed this book in a bookstore prior to deciding whether I wanted to order it from Amazon. (It can be a good idea anyhow to preview a book first, if a copy is available, before ordering.) For me, the print is too small, even tiny. The contents are as described by other reviewers: Delicious-sounding recipes, great that the cookbook is for two people, yet perhaps not so good that recipes use more artificial ingredients than many of us would use. However, even in a well-lighted bookstore, each time I tried to read it the book's print hurt my eyes and I got a headache. I would have to use a magnifying glass to try to cook from this book. Even with a magnifying glass, for me to deal with this small font would still likely be painful to my eyes and give me a headache. It's too bad that the people responsible for the book's publication chose such small font. A lot of people who have diabetes (and/or heart trouble) are senior citizens. A lot of senior citizens now cook for one or two people. The contents of the book have some nice qualities. However, I recommend that potential customers try to look at a copy of the book before ordering it so they can see whether the font is too small for them (as it was for me). I've decided to not buy this book. There are other very worthwhile diabetic cookbooks and whose fonts are larger.

After my husband had a heart attack and he was in rehab; this was one of their books in their library. Recipes are very healthy, and do taste great! Just had to have a copy of my own. I use it many times in a week. I bought a hard copy text rather than the Kindle, I just love cooking with a book!

This cookbook has far too many artificial items and foods to believe. The ADA should be ashamed!! I am an RN with a BA and MA in Health Education and Counseling.

I bought this for my parents. Mom has diabetes and Dad had open heart surgery. She seem to like it. I love that I could find a cookbook for both of them to eat because she always told me it was so hard to find something for both of them. Plus she loves that it'll be just the right size for them. :)
