The All-Natural Diabetes Cookbook

I purchased this cookbook to help me plan meals and get a better understanding of how diabetics and pre-diabetics should think about food. Because I like to cook, especially ethnic meals, I was very surprised to see international recipes with authentic ingredients and spices. We've tried 8 recipes so far and have enjoyed every one. Each recipe includes a breakdown of carbs, fat, etc. and additional tips on how to pre-cook portions of the meal, alternative ingredients for variety and other useful suggestions. As I become more familiar with issues for pre-diabetics, I am also able to modify recipes from other cookbooks. I would recommend this cookbook for anyone who wants a healthy lifestyle.

I recently ordered this title. Recipes are straight forware, simple to make and do not use exotic ingredients.

I've never had to cook for a diabetic until my husband was diagnosed little over a month ago. I was skeptical about the recipes whether they would be great or bland. I'm a firm believer that this book will make anyone (even those who don't need to cook for a diabetic) salivate for the recipes. They were excellent!!! All were easy to prepare and I can find most of the ingredients at my local Walmart. I highly recommend this book!

After stumbling upon Jackie Newgent's "real food" (even for dieters)philosophy in a Women's Day magazine, I just had to check out her only published cookbook. I have been testing recipes from it for two weeks, and I am very impressed. I love healthy food and international cuisine, and this cookbook is a perfect fit for me. My family has absolutely loved everything I have made from this cookbook (none of us is diabetic). Chicken Scampi is restaurant quality (take Newgent's "Food Flair" tip, and add the toasted pine nuts and lemon zest-subtle and sophisticated!). The book is packed with useful information and helpful tips. It is fun for an experienced cook, but detailed enough for beginners-I am going to purchase 3 more copies for my daughters!

I appreciate the author writing an all-natural cookbook for diabetics. It is so refreshing to see a cookbook for people with diabetes that does not use or recommend artificial sweeteners and other artificial low-fat ingredients. My husband has diabetes and it is possible to eat well with diabetes without resorting to "artificial foods". I love the tips and her wholesome approach to meal planning.
