Summary: Healthy, Convenient, Unique Recipes
Review: Sunset's "Diabetic Cookbook" is a treasure trove of easily understood, helpful information. Its introduction explains the importance of tailoring a diet to fit the indivdual, depending on the person's current health as well as his or her weight, age, and sex. The intro also tells how to use Food Exchange Lists compiled by the American Diabetes Association, read nutrient labels on food packages, and plan meals. This book includes seven generous categories of recipes: Soups, Salads, Meats, Poultry, Seafood, Meatless and Side Dishes. Each recipe has easy-to-follow instructions, a readily spotted ingredients list printed in bold type, and convenient Preparation Time, Cooking Time, Serving Exchanges and Nutrients. But what I really liked about this cookbook is its unique selection of various dishes. This is not just another rehash of frequently seen recipes. Yet its uniqueness does not make "Diabetic Cookbook" impractical. Its recipes use easily available ingredients and equipment commonly found in most kitchens.
