This review is from: Express Lane Diabetic Cooking : Hassle-Free Meals Using Ingredients from the Deli, Salad Bar, and Freezer Sections of Your Grocery Store (Paperback)

From the back cover, this book proudly announces that you can prepare meals from ingredients found in the deli, frozen aisle, and salad bar. What it forgets to mention is that you'll need to go to plenty of other sections of the supermarket as well. At the top of each recipe she indicates where to get the ingredients. She'll say what items to get from the salad bar, frozen aisle or deli, but then indicates meat counter, dairy case, or "other aisles" for spices and other ingredients. Wow! I only have to go to five or six different sections of the grocery store to get all my ingredients! What a time-saver! These uninspired recipes are fast to prepare only if you can find all of the vegetables, meat, etc. chopped/sliced in advance by raiding the hopefully stocked and fresh salad bar.

Robyn Webb says in her intro that "some of the recipes only have five ingredients" which is true. Three of them. Some have 15, including 6 different spices that you probably don't have on your shelf. So much for 10 items or less checkout lanes.

This book is exactly what is wrong with most diabetic cookbooks. Don't promise me convenience you can't deliver, just give me some decent recipes. I'll do the shopping.
