So glad portion sizes are included on these recipes, and I love that it comes with the credibility of both a dietitian and a chef.
Lot's of great ideas with both a nutrition label for actual carbs listed and exchanges for those who do either carb counting or exchanges.
For the working woman with a family...

I highly recommend this book especially if you are a working woman with a family, such as I am. The convenience of the shopping list is time saving. The selection of the food has been excellent. The recipes are easy to follow. I look over the instructions, find one that fits my time frame for that particular day, or the item that strikes my fancy, and with minimal prep time, we have a tasty, healthy meal that my diabetics can trust and enjoy. I no longer have to scan my cabinets after a long day, looking for something that goes together for dinner. I look forward to making these dishes: the many fresh ingredients, and flavor combinations give a good variety. No more "food ruts." My husband brought it to his dietician, who was very impressed, and is recommending it to others.
Great idea

I bought this cookbook when my husband was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I have been using it now for 4 weeks, and there are some good points and bad. I really like the idea, and having a weekly grocery list pre-prepared is great. Some of the recipes are rather bland, but overall easy. I have found some really good ones too, we especially like the side dish recipes. I do have 2 big complaints: I wonder if some of the recipes were ever tried by the author. For example, the recipe for Greek Lemon Chicken and rice has a marinade for the chicken that is then supposed to be cooked to a boil to use as a sauce, the recipe yielded so little marinade it barely covered the chicken much less left enough over to create a sauce. My 2nd big complaint is there are a few recipes where cooking temperatures and times have been left out.

This book has been my savior as a working mom trying to cook healthy meals in a reasonable amount of time. These recipes have pleased not only my husband and myself, but two teenagers. I am currently purchasing my second copy since my first copy is well worn and falling apart. I really CANNOT do without this cookbook! Meals are easy to plan, healthy and delicious. I appreciate the wide variety of recipes, from healthy meats to vegetarian entrees. Most of my meal planning comes from this book. I really cannot live without it.
Recipes do not taste good

Reviewer: J. Coker,
We tried two recipes from this book and they were both pretty bad. I don't recommend it unless you like bland food.
