I was a student of Dr. Urdaneta's years ago and was well aware of her concern of and dedication to the study of diabetes in Hispanic Americans. As I work in a mostly Hispanice, title one school now, I know of the devistation that diabetes brings to families. This book is amazing and the recipes are fantastic. I am ordering more for Christmas gifts to fellow teachers this year. This book is as much of a class act as Dr. Urdaneta.
