3.0 out of 5 stars Great recipe for vegetable stock!, December 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Meatless Diabetic Cookbook: Over 100 Easy Recipes Combining Great Taste with Great Nutrition (Paperback)

This book supplied me with some much-needed advice on preparing meatless meals for a diabetic. However, ADA guidelines (as explained to me by a dietician) now use the number of carbohydrates as a guideline for most meals and this book failed to list the carbohydrate content of any of the dishes, which was a disappointment to me. Otherwise, I feel the book is a good start for someone who finds they are at a loss on how to prepare dishes which are both meatless and suitable for diabetics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Meatless Diabetic Cookbook: Over 100 Easy Recipes Combining, October 15, 2001

This review is from: Meatless Diabetic Cookbook: Over 100 Easy Recipes Combining Great Taste with Great Nutrition (Paperback)

I am really enjoying this cookbook. I think you need to use it in conjunction with a book that has more information about diabetes and food components, (even if they contain meat recipes) however, the recipes in this book are wonderful. I tried vegetarian cookbooks and experienced difficulty with my diabetes. With this book and more study, I can live without meat. I have not found any other vegetarian books on the market and am grateful to have found this one.

This book has a recipe for vegetable stock that is worth its price alone. It will save a lot of money to make this myself.
