I have tried two recipes from this book and will be trying more soon. What I really love is that these recipes are not too flashy-they don’t have a million ingredients and are pretty quick to put together. For a July 4th party, I made the “Kitchen Quarterback Salsa and Bean Dip” and the “Diet Mountain Dew Salad” simultaneously while my six month old was screaming at me. I think that says a LOT about the simplicity/ease of preparation that these recipes entail.
The best part is that some of my guests were the type to gripe about low-fat/diet food and they RAVED about these dishes and asked me for the book info. That says a lot about the taste factor.
I would highly recommend this book for people that want quick diet food that actually TASTES good.

I bought this cookbook for my mother to use (father is diabetic and had heart bypass surgery). It has so many great recipes and lets you know what to do in order to make it have less sodium, etc. It has red meat recipes (he can’t eat that) but we just substitute fish, chicken, or turkey. It uses ingredients she actually had in the kitchen and would use again (not just for one recipe). I made the “No fat fried chicken” (a baked recipe to taste like fried) and my dad said it was the best chicken he has ever had. These recipes will dress up the same few meats so that one doesn’t get tired of the same thing and give up on a new way of life. The recipes are so, so, easy. My mother hates to cook and loves this book.

A great source of everyday recipes for the diabetic. Recipes are easy to follow, simple to prepare, and surprisingly good. Each recipe includes exchange and nutritional information. I’ve tried three diabetic cookbooks and I find this is the only one I actually use. The rest of my family even enjoys it.
