5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to make snacks for diabetics, May 5, 2004

This review is from: Diabetes Snacks, Treats, and Easy Eats: 130 Recipes You'll Make Again and Again (Paperback)

This is the easiest cookbook I've ever used. The recipes are delicious. It's so hard to find diabetic versions of the snacks and treats I love to munch on, and here they are! Great for kids to eat after school, or for late night treats.

This review is from: Diabetes Snacks, Treats, and Easy Eats: 130 Recipes You'll Make Again and Again (Paperback)

If you already know how to cook you may not be interested in this book. If you are newly diagnosed w/diabetes or have a diabetic child this is a good "first" cookbook that is easy to follow and has a good variety of recipes for beginning cooks and children that are interested in preparing food.

This review is from: Diabetes Snacks, Treats, and Easy Eats: 130 Recipes You'll Make Again and Again (Paperback)

I was searching books for dog treats...and wanted diabetic treats for diabetic dogs. Somehow this book showed up in my search and without giving it a good look over, I ordered it. It is a recipe book for people. After looking it over, I found that it had tons of great looking recipes in it. I can't tell you how good they are, because my girlfriend who is diabetic stole it from me. I'm assuming it was good though, because she never gave it back!
