Customer Reviews

Fantastic - Worth the $!

When I ordered this, it was primarily because it was a 4- ingredient cookbook. I have two kids, one picky eater and one that will eat a lot but has aversions to certain textures. Happily, they both have eaten everything I have made out of this book. I like that the cookbook gives prep time, cook time and stand time (some other cookbooks do this too but not all). The recipes are delicious. A concern I have when buying cookbooks is that I will have to go out and buy new appliances for ways to prepare the food or buy a hundred dollars worth of groceries I normally would not have bought. That was not the case here. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for easy, healthy meals.

Not just for Diabetics!

This book is for anyone who would like to start eating healthy. I do not like cooking and I am a diabetic so when I saw this title "The 4 Ingredient Diabetes Cookbook" I was very skeptical. Let me say I am pleasantly surprised, I love these recipes! This cookbook has everything one needs to have a delicious meal on the table from 5 minutes to no more than an hour. Each recipe gives all the nutritional information and serving portion one needs to control glucose levels and if you follow the serving size you will have very little spikes! The thing I love love love the most is that these are regular ingredients and not a "diabetic diet". Everyone in your family can have the same meal. I have made all the recipes featured on the cover and the directions are simple and easy to follow. The pineapple dish is absolutely amazing! I have had dinner parties and my guests have raved about all the food, even the beverage recipes are outstanding! The title stated 4 Ingredients but the 4 ingredients are the core ones, not including spices i.e. salt, pepper, water were not included in the 4 ingredient count, so if you add those you have 7 or 8. Thank you Nancy Hughes, as this recipe book is a much needed one for anyone wanting to cook good healthy meals.
