Diabetes and Heart Healthy Cookbook

Since my husband is a diabetic and a recent heart patient, I had to find recipes that were low on sugar, salt and fat. This book has delicious recipes that are very healthy for all of us. Easy to read and simple to understand.

I am not a diabetic. I got this book because of the "heart healthy" part of the title. The loaded baked potato soup is wonderful as is the broccoli soup. Those are the only 2 recipes I've tried so far, but they are well worth the price on their own, in my opinion. I do not see sugar in almost every recipe and it is certainly not in these 2, although the carbs may be too high for some. The baked potato soup has 19 g of carbs and the broccoli soup has 8 g of carbs. Wonderful though, restaurant quality soups.

A family member was recently diagnosed with diabetes. He had a 7-way heart bypass almost 10 years ago and this book has lots of wonderful recipes, invaluable nutritional information and healthy hints to help keep him (and the family) healthy. The recipes are so diverse and tasty, you don't feel like you're eating "diabetic-friendly/heart-healthy" meals.

I got this cookbook because I wanted some healthy recipes. I have to say the I have made about ten recipes from it so far and I haven't made one that I didn't like yet.My favorite part is that the ingredients are not rare or exotic. Most of the ingredients called for, I have already. I have gone through a couple different cookbooks in the past and I have to say that this is the best one yet, and I'm not even a diabetic. I would recommend this book to both people with or without diabetes. It's great! and the receipes are good for you!!!! You won't be sorry about this purchase.
