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.

This is the greatest cookbook I have owned. It has simple, quick, tasty, and healthy recipes. I would recommend it to anyone with little time and wanting to cook healthy meals.

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.

There are a lot of very good everyday recipes that I can make for my husband who has diabetes. Also, I find the recipes very nutritious for everyone else in the family! Thanks!

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.

This cookbook is an easy tool in everyday cooking for diabetics or those who need to be sugar/carb concsious. The recipes are simple and healthy without being bland and boring. I would recomend this book for anyone who is looking for nutritional recipes that don't take a lot of effort. The nutritional facts are also clearly marked on the page of every recipe.

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.

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.

I tend to modify all recipes, but I really appreciate the dietary guide - esp. for counting carbs. I wanted some fresh ideas for everyday meals where I could present good meals that fit my daughter's needs. My daughter, who has juvenile diabetes, is a teenager who is very active and loves good, healthy food. This was a good choice for us. By the way, the whole family has enjoyed these recipes.
