Fabulous & helpful

The Eating Well Diabetes Cookbook has features that make it stand out as one of the very best diabetes cookbooks. First, there is an explanation and simplification of the carbo-counting necessary. The recipes follow these guidelines. Then there are two different levels of menu - 1,500 or 2,000 calorie menus.Also, recipes are marked for high-fiber, quick to prepare, etc. All these features in addition to fabulous recipes. This is simply a great cookbook - the fact it's compatible with the diabetic diet just makes it better. Every meal I've tried so far has been delicious and tasty. They don't rely so much on "fake food" as they do on fresh taste. If you can only afford one basic Diabetes cookbook, I highly recommend this one above all others. I'm not diabetic but heard the diabetic diet is the most healthy. Now, I agree.

Great Flavor and Easy Recipes

All of the recipes we have tried thus far have been terrific. They are simple and quick and full of flavor.

The days when a diagnosis of diabetes condemned to a life of the bland and the unappetizing are long

The days when a diagnosis of diabetes condemned to a life of the bland and the unappetizing are long gone. Compiled from the pages of 'Eating Well' magazine by Joyce Hendley and the publication's editorial staff, "The EatingWell Diabetes Cookbook: Delicious Recipes And Tips For A Healthy-Carbohydrate Lifestyle" fully lives up to the promise of its title by offering a culinary wealth of diabetes-friendly recipes that are as delicious as they are nutritious and dietarily sound. Beginning with the encouraging introduction that 'Eating Well: It's Not Dieting', followed by 'Diabetes 101: The Essential Facts', and 'Food Matters: Eating to Manage Diabetes', "The EatingWell Diabetes Cookbook" presents a compendium of information about calorie counts and menus as well as food and exercise diaries. Then the individual recipes are organized into chapters of 'Healthy Starts', Muffins & Breads, Snacks & Appetizers, Soups, Salads, Vegetarian Main Dishes, Chicken & Turkey, Fish & Seafood, Side Dishes, Sauces & Condiments, Desserts & Treats. The thoroughly 'kitchen cook friendly' recipes range from a Greek Potato & Feta Omelet; to a Spicy Mushroom & Rice Soup; to Grilled Rosemary-Scented Chicken; to Citrusy Couscous Salad with Olives; to a One-Bowl Chocolate Cake! Enhanced with a Glossary, a Resources list, 'Healthy Pantry Essentials', Ingredient Notes, Cooking tips, and an Index, "The EatingWell Diabetes Cookbook" is an ideal addition to personal and community library cookbook collections for diabetics -- and anyone else seeking to prepare and consume nutritionally healthy, appetite satisfying, palate pleasing meals.

great book

I have found very few book on Diabetes that explain how and what to cook for a diabetes diet. This is one of them. What I like very much is the illustration of how to divide a plate to follow a carb counting diet. i would highly recommend this book with much information and good recipies.
