5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL Basic Cookbook the Whole Family Will Love!, July 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Real Food for People with Diabetes (Paperback)

If you're looking for "Chicken Florentine with Julienne Carrots on a Bed of Couscous," then this may not be the cookbook for you. However, if you are after a wonderful, basic cookbook that provides lots of familiar recipes that your kids and husband will enjoy, and won't take your forever to prepare, then look no further.

My kids (3,7,9) and husband have enjoyed the dishes I have made, and I'm not feeling like I can't eat the things I am used to and like; mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, broccoli and rice, and lasagna, to name just a few. And because diabetic exchange and nutrition information is provided for each recipe, sticking with my food plan isn't a problem.

I also really appreciate the fact that the author gave me information on several products that she has found that help to keep the dishes tasting "normal" in spite of the fact that they're low-fat. She provides information on where to get these items if they're not available at your local store.

The section with baked goods has recipes that sound wonderful, but they call for Nutra-Sweet, which I am NOT very keen on. I do wish it gave the amount of sugar you could use as an alternate. All other parts of the cookbook I am very happy with.

I'm so glad a found this cookbook and I would absolutely recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is totally comprehensive and easy to read, November 4, 1998

This review is from: Real Food for People with Diabetes (Paperback)

My husband was recently diagnosed with diabetes, and I purchased this book along with several others on the subject of diabetes. By far this is now my "bible" for cooking for us. Although I do not have diabetes, this book is a healthy way for anyone to eat, without feeling "deprived" of certain foods. Everything I have made so far has been a huge hit! I am now purchasing it for my mother in law.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT FOOD AND HEALTHY TOO!, December 20, 1999

This review is from: Real Food for People with Diabetes (Paperback)

Since I was just recently diagnosed with diabetes, I was searching for a book that would allow me to eat healthy and also satisfy 3 growing boys. This book is it! Not only are the recipes easy to make, but my kids love them! They beg for me to make the recipes we have tried! I find it wonderful that the recipes call for oridinary items you would have on hand. No ingredients that you have to search the world over for! You will love this book!
