You Don't Have to Be Diabetic to Love This Cookbook: 250 Amazing Dishes for People with Diabetes and Their Families and Friends

This really is a great cookbook. It's written by a chef who was daignosed as an adult and didn't want to change too many of his eating habits. Nothing in here is artificial--lots of tempting pictures and ideas for all courses. I checked it out of the library first, and liked it so much that I bought it!

love this book. i bought it for a gift for someone who has diabetis, and i was so pleasantly surprised, i ordered on for myself !!! i became a fan of tom's and have gotten his other books, especially the slow cooking book. when i bought the book, i did not realize that the author is the owner of the restaurant Ouest. I have eaten there and it is a must visit when one is in the city. there are great, real life recipes. basic facts that he as a professional who love full flavor healthy food shares. many of the tips are things that one would learn if they were going an internship with a professional, ie ratings for balsamic vinegar, etc... getting this book has allowed me to clear out about 20 other books that were just taking up space on my shelves.

Chef and author Tom Valenti has diabetes - and provides a menu of over 200 dishes from spicy to sweet and sour, with all textures, to show that a diabetic meal need not be bland or dull. Even pastas and desserts are included - usual dishes diabetic cookbooks avoid - in a creative collection of dishes ranging from a Chicken 'Pot Pie' to Lobster Rolls and Spicy Coconut Turkey Soup. Any general lending library will relish this presentation.

This book is great!I can cook for both of us and enjoy the tasteful meals.
