5.0 out of 5 stars Down Home Food With Less Fat/Sugar, January 30, 2006

This review is from: The New Soul Food Cookbook for People with Diabetes (Paperback)

"Authors Gaines and Weaver show the reader how much of the hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes plaguing the African-American population can be avoided by making easy changes to traditional soul food recipes without losing too much of the flavor. The basics of healthy food preparation and menu planning are incorporated with suggestions for cooking with traditional herbs and spices, along with advice for reducing fat, calories and sodium. Portion sizes are given to aid in blood sugar control and weight loss, as well as complete nutritional information and official ADA exchanges.
Now you can experience palate-pleasing soul food recipes such as Barbecue Pulled Pork, Hoppin' John, Hoe Cake, Soul Slaw, Collards with Smoked Turkey, Chicken and Dumplings, Key Lime Pie, Rice Pudding, Sweet Potato Pound Cake and more in The New Soul Food Cookbook."

Since I have purchased the book I have seen the interest soar in many who thought they had to give up tradition in their diet. I thank God for those two authors.... they have given me something back that I missed. Thanks Roniece and Fabiola .
