Before I started on a diabetic diet I had a few of Mr. Food's other recipe books. I was so excited to find out he, Art Ginsburg, had written a recipe book for those with diabetes. My diabetic diet had become so boring and plain until I received this book from Amazon.com. Now I look forward to planning my next meal.
The Double Chocolate Brownies were a hit with an Irish club I
belong to. People were happy to see something they were allowed to eat on our snack table instead of the usual sugary treats.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love these recipes!!!!!!!!!!, July 24, 2001

This review is from: Mr. Food's Quick & Easy Diabetic Cooking : Over 150 Recipes Everybody Will Love (Paperback)

This is a great cookbook for Diabetics. I am newly diagnosed and was having trouble adjusting my recipes. I have made four of the recipes in this book so far, the skillet pork chops and sweet and sour chicken are wonderful. The recipes are easy to follow, with no fancy ingredients. I enjoy reading the little tips from Art Ginsberg and the added comments from Miss America.My only problem with the recipes are that they are made for 6-12 servings. I only cook for one, ME , so I have to break them down into 2-4 serving size portions.

Known around the world for his extraordinary recipes, Art Ginsberg, a.k.a. Mr. Food has satisfied and delighted cooks everywhere for years - his 28 books say it all. "Food" fanatics love him! So much so that you can find his syndicated TV show segment in 400 cities nationwide. Mr. Food makes mealtime fun again for you and your family - especially those who are on the go. Wait until you try: Marinated Steak Nachos Herb Roasted Corn on the Cob Nicole's Cherry Bon-Bons

Every dish you prepare is succulent, tender, and tasty...yet so healthy and incredibly easy to fix. As an added benefit, Mr. Food has invited Nicole Johnson, former Miss America, to help serve up helpful tips on portions, substitutions, artificial sweeteners, and more.
