5.0 out of 5 stars A kitchen staple, January 19, 2000

By A Customer

This is a terrific cookbook to have handy, whether you're cooking for yourself, a whole family, or even for friends for a casual dinner. The recipes aren't fancy, but they put things together in a way you might not think to do otherwise, or give directions for something you've been wanting to try but haven't because the recipes you've found in other cookbooks have been too complicated. So far, I've found that if I make a recipe from this book once, it quickly becomes a recipe that I fix regularly, because it's quick and I often have all of the ingredients in my pantry already -- and even when I don't, a quick trip to the convenience store or supermarket is all that's needed, because the recipes don't call for obscure items that require hunting down in specialty stores. Even if no one in your home/family has diabetes, this is a great, basic recipe book to have around for those nights when you're feeling less than inspired to come up with something new on your own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and Quick, October 23, 2001

By	V. Espinosa "brasileira00" (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My husband was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes last year. It was a shock and I went crazy buying cookbooks on Amazon to help me deal with his new dietary requirements.

This cookbook is awesome. I've been working my way through it and have found the recipes simple (not a huge laundry list of ingredients) and sophisticated. On occasion they need a little salt (haven't come across a recipe that asks for salt yet!).

My husband has been very pleased with everything I've done out of this one and always asks - what's next? Can we try something new out of that 30 minute book?

Buy it - for the price - it's totally worth it.

(by the way, there is nothing exotic about pumpkin seeds, peanut oil and oyster sauce - unless you live in a cave).

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy healthy cooking ideas, January 21, 2000

By	Lisa Werner (Kansas) - See all my reviews

This book is true to its title. I loved that it listed some main "healthy" staples at the beginning of the book that everyone should have on hand. I also really liked the easy meal ideas at the beginning of the book for those nights you need recipes that will use whatever you have on hand in your cabinets. Some of the main recipes were a little more complicated than I had hoped. Still, overall this was an excellant choice and I know that I will use it for years to come.
