Customer Reviews

I had high expectations.

I did like a couple of the recipes in the book. Has variety.

Must for new diabetic cooks

Easy recipes, with real every day food. Easy to understand if using exchanges, especially if you are just beginning.

A Diabetic's Look At The Book

Since I am diabetic and overweight I have tried all the classic diabetic recipes and found them all to be tasteless and time consuming to prepare. Ms. Lund's recipes use products you have on hand and the resulting meal has both taste and is quick to prepare. It is important to me that I don't have to spent hours preparing it and it satisfies my hunger for things I shouldn't have. I highly recommend the book to anyone who is diabetic and especially those who are classed as "border-line" diabetics.

It was just what I needed

I was a newly diagnosed Diabetic and I was under the impression I had to completely change all the foods I was accustomed to eating. My co-worker suggeted this receipe book. It saved my sanity, I thought I could NEVER have another dessert and when I saw the variety of desserts and the vaious meals that did not entail going to the grocery, I was overjoyed. All the menus contained foods I had normally eaten but were utilizing low fat, sugar free ingredients and included items I already had on hand. I also love the exchanges, that made it more appealing and easier for me to count my daily exchanges.

A must have for all people concerned about their health

Anyone concerned about eating healthy but good needs this book. My husband is diabetic, so we have to watch what he eats, but before we purchased this book, our meals were pretty bland. With Mrs. Lund's recipes, we are now eating healthy but wonderful dishes. I recommend recipes out of this book to everyone I know.

Excellent, Delicious Recipes for the Whole Family

Although I have several cookbooks that contain diabetic recipes, I refer to this one 90% of the time. The recipes are quick and easy to prepare, and taste great! Our entire family raves over the dishes prepared using Ms. Lund's recipes. I also have her other cookbooks--they also contain diabetic exchanges for each recipe. There are variations on some of the recipes but none are duplicated.
