5.0 out of 5 stars Diabetic Cooking by Holly Clegg April 9, 2008

By S. McComb

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I purchased this book because my son's girlfriend is diabetic and I wanted to serve her healthy food for her diet. We fell in love with these recipes. The ingredients are common ingredients you'll probably have on hand, no special shopping for something you've never heard of. The meals go together quickly, simply and taste delicious. I purchased a second copy of this cookbook to give away as a gift. I don't go out of my way to be in the kitchen, but I do have a family and they must eat, so why not serve healthy, simple meals that are delicious to boot? I think you'll like this cookbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick, easy and delicious September 4, 2007

By S. Grindle

Format:Paperback

This is the first Holly Cleggs cookbook I have used, but I'll definitely be ordering more. Her recipes are fresh and delicious. I am borderline diabetic, so careful watch what I cook and eat. Also, I'm a senior citizen and cook mainly for my husband and myself. With Holly's recipes we feel we are getting easy to prepare, healthy nutrition.

I borrowed from library with a pile of other diabetic cookbooks. This one is the best as far as I'm concerned. I continue to try many recipes. Very simple ingredients, simple instructions, quick prep & cook time, and VERY tasty results. I am buying this one NOW!!

Great reviews from everyone in the house. Healthy yet TASTY meals!

If she does another book on diabetic/low-carb cooking, I'll buy right away.

Highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple, Delicious, Convenient September 11, 2008

By Martha

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a great cookbook for really simple, convenient tasty recipes (as are all of Ms Clegg's books.) She does a great job combining fresh ingredients with a few packaged convenience foods. It's nice to know that there can be a healthy, delicious dinner on the table in 30 minutes (or so). The taco soup is one of our favorites!

I will say that this is not a "natural" diabetes cookbook. Still, I use it frequently and make changes or adaptations to fit it into our organic lifestyle.

Cookbooks can be expensive but this one is not and you get a lot of good, usable recipes for your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Cookbook February 19, 2009

By Happy Cook

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Holly Cleggs Trim & Terrific Diabetic Cooking This is a terffic cookbook! I have prepared about a dozen recipes from this cookbook so far and have found only one recipe my husband and I did not care for. All the other recipes were delicious and I would certainly prepare them again and again. The recipes are easy to prepare with ingredients I have on hand or are easy to find at the grocery store. My husband who is diabetic has certainy enjoyed my new found love of cooking.

I would highly recommend this cookbook to anyone - diabetic or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Diabetes Cookbook June 17, 2008

By Swamp Girl

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

My daughter was diagnosed last October with Type 1 diabetes and I've had to revise a lot of my cooking. It has been a challenge, especially having to configure calorie and carb counts in everything I cook. This cookbook is very good in my opinion. Healthy recipes, all nutritional stats included, and oh, my goodness, the Chicken and Sausage Gumbo rocks!! I'm definitely pleased with it.
