Review: Although written for diabetics, this book has great recipes for everyone. The recipes are clearly written with alternatives for those wishing to cut down on their fat, cholesterol, etc. There's a great chart in the back of the book that gives exact nutritional contents. A wonderful cookbook!

Summary: The Diabetes Cookbook by Carol Gelles
Review: The book emphasizes healthy food choices for diabetics and
people desiring to control their sugar intake. The author
provides a saturated fat index pertaining to almost every
food imaginable. There are sample dishes which are intended
for diabetics. For instance, the author presents the
cucumber feta cheese dip, roasted asparagus tips with curried
shrimp, roasted cod with Moroccan flavors and many others.
An anti-cancer/anti-tumor food group is presented in the form
of mushrooms. For instance, cordy caps increase T-cells and
NK cells. Zhu-ling is an anti-tumor form of mushroom.
Ling-Zhi is a form of Reishi which is anti-herpes. In addition,
garlic is beneficial for its allicin content. This work would
be helpful for anyone trying to control sugar intake.
For this reason alone, the book is well-worth the price charged.

Review: This is a concept that doesn't make sense. Ms. Gelles gives recipes to help those with diabetes who also have heart disease and kidney disease. Everyone with diabetes should eat "heart healthy" and if you have kidney disease you need more help than Ms. Gelles can provide in a cookbook. Her writing makes me think she doesn't understand basic concepts of diabetes.
