Summaries and Customer Reviews provided by Amazon
SummaryIf you or a family member has diabetes, food preparation may seem like a chore or a deprivation. What can you cook that tastes good and fits the diabetes guidelines? The authors of Diabetes Cookbook for Dummies, diabetes expert Alan Rubin (who also wrote Diabetes for Dummies) and registered dietician Fran Stach, have come up with dishes that will please not just the person with diabetes but the whole family. The diabetes diet is healthy for all of us, and if we can make it taste good, we all benefit. That's where this book shines. The 112 recipes are as creative and tasty as they are healthy, yet most take a half hour or less of preparation (plus cooking time). Recipes include Soy Waffles, Crispy Corn French Toast, Portobello Paté, Carrot Soup with Leek and Blood Orange, Mango Tortilla Salad, Oriental Beef and Noodle Salad, and Spaghetti Squash with Fresh Basil, plus a variety of fish, meat, and poultry entrées. Some of the recipes were created by chef Denise Sharf; others were contributed by gourmet restaurants. All recipes include nutritional information: calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, fiber, sodium, and exchanges. Diabetes Cookbook for Dummies is more than a compilation of recipes. The book also gives guidelines for "what, when, and how much" to eat, including tips for visualizing portions (an ounce of meat is the size of a matchbox; an ounce of cheese is the size of a domino; a medium potato is the size of a computer mouse). You'll get shopping and cooking tips and illustrated food-preparation steps to help novice cooks. Like the whole For Dummies line, the style is simple, friendly, clever, and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, such as, "Don't go to a paint store and expect to get thinner there." -- Joan Price |

Average Rating:
Very Helpful!!
This book is a good source of information for a person newly diagnosed with Diabetes. I recommend it!!
not worth the money
This cook book is just not worth the money. Not only are there very few recipes but the ones they do have are a bit too exotic with specialty ingredients. I was looking for every day recipes, things normal people eat and can eat each and every day
Good Service
I ended up not using this at all. It sits on my bookshelf gathering dust. Nonetheless, the service was quick and the book arrived in great condition!
Informative cookbook - Diabetes Cookbood for Dummies
This book listed numerous tips for proper eating as a diabetic and the importance of "why" to eat properly. Good book!
skip it
Skip it. Really. Nothing in this book appealed to my appetite. Get the Diabetes for dummies book (EXELLENT) but skip the cookbook. Any basic low carb diet (south beach) will do. Just eat normal portions (KNOW YOUR CARBS) and you can have pretty much anything.
