Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Experienced cookbook authors Glick (The Diabetes Snack) and Baggett (Eat Your Vegetables) have again joined forces to provide some culinary assistance to people with diabetes. The strength of these recipes is that they are varied enough to please almost every palate, as the authors have a good knowledge of herbs and spices and use it creatively here. Instructions are clearly presented for preparing many main dishes, such as soups, salads and hot dishes that feature meat, fish and poultry. Vegetarian choices include Tamale Pie, Broccoli Cheese Omelette and Macaroni Lasagna, and they all fall within the current American Diabetes Association recommendations; while the recipes are not all fat free, the authors have limited the amounts of animal fat. Each recipe lists the nutritional exchanges as well as the calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, protein and carbohydrates contained in that particular dish. The "one pot" in the title may define dishes that can be cooked in a microwave, crock pot, skillet or oven. Although Glick and Baggett include a chapter on "Super-Quick Dinners," in some cases a cook would have to move pretty quickly to prepare the recipe in the time allotted. Otherwise, this is a useful and appetizing collection.

This is fabulous cookbook! Cooking has never been my favoirte pastime, and I hate spending a long time in the kitchen. Not only are these recipes fast and easy, they are also enjoyable to make. I've tried several diabetic cookbooks, and the recipes in this one are by far the tastiest. In fact, I like the taste of these recipes more than my "normal" cookbooks. I also love that you get your meat and veggies all in one place without having to put thought into a well balanced meal. It's a wonderful cookbook! I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Recipes--and Healthy, too, January 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: One Pot Meals For People With Diabetes (Paperback)

I'd rather eat a home-cooked meal than fast food any day of the week. But I hate spending a lot of time in the kitchen. That's why I love this new book-ONE POT MEALS FOR PEOPLE WITH DIABETES. In most of the recipes, everything goes into one pot or skillet or microwave casserole, although sometimes the authors do make a dish that you serve over rice or pasta. And they expand the definition to whole meal in a bowl salads and hearty meal-sized sandwiches, too.

There are some great recipes here: Italian Chicken with Peppers and Onions, Quick Beef and Bean Chili, Unstuffed Shells (a personal favorite), Navy Bean and Ham Soup, Kung Pao Chicken, "Stuffed" Pepper Stew, Round Steak Pizzaiola, just to name a few.

I like the fact that all the recipes are nutritionally balanced so I don't have to do any thinking about the right combinations. And I also like that there's so much variety-with lots of wonderfully flavored ethnic dishes.

This is a cookbook for anyone interested in healthy cooking.
