Summary

If you are one of the millions of Americans living with diabetes, this cookbook is a vital addition to your kitchen. With 2000 low-sugar recipes the whole family will enjoy, there are options for every dish, every palate, and every occasion. Author Mary Anne Finsand was tired of cooking two meals a night; one for the family and one for her diabetic husband. So she adapted thousands of familiar and beloved recipes for the needs of diabetics, but kept them tasty enough for the whole family to enjoy. These recipes are healthy, high in fiber, low in cholesterol, and most importantly, delicious. Each recipe is accompanied by the exchange list values from the American Diabetes Association and the American Dietetic Association, meticulously calculated to be accurate for the diabetic. Each listing also notes additional nutritional values -- including calories, fat, carbohydrate, protein, sodium, cholesterol -- that can help anyone balance his or her diet. The first section of the book covers fruits and vegetables, lean and flavorful meat, seafood and poultry dishes, imaginative soups and salads, and a variety of snack foods, casseroles, hor's d'oeuvres, breads, egg dishes, sauces, and beverages. The entire second half focuses on diabetics' biggest problem area: desserts. Everything is included: cakes, puddings, candies, chocolates, pies, cookies, cobblers, meringues -- every type of sweet that, in the past, has been off-limits to diabetics. Book jacket.
