This review is from: The Family Style Soul Food Diabetes Cookbook (Paperback)

The book is great. I was looking for a book that could help me learn how to cook soul food and still be healthy. I am diabetic and I am one of the few Black women who did not get to learn how to cook at my Mama's knee or kitchen as it might be. It is hard enough to learn how to cook anything in a way that is still fun to eat when you are diabetic let along soul food. There is such a tradition and the taste has to be just right (if you don't have a ham hock or some fat back somewhere) or it's just ain't happening,you know what I mean. So I am delighted to say that the recipes in this book keep the delicious in the food while raising the standard of healthy cooking. And the taste is make you wanna dance good. I love this book and these doctors. I appreciate them taking the time to put together this cook book for those of us with health issues. I loved it so much I bought the Family Style Soul Food Cookbook for the rest of my family who aren't diabetic but do need to change up on their eating habits.Thank You so much.
