From the Publisher
From Susan Schwartz, Publisher, Surrey Books... When I found out that the incidence of diabetes in the U.S. had reached epidemic proportions, I made up my mind to make a contribution toward bringing those numbers down. After consulting with Dr. Louis Philipson at the University of Chicago, and Certified Diabetes Educator Linda Eugene, I learned that most people with type 2, and a significant number of folks with type 1 diabetes, can enjoy a wide range of satisfying and truly delicious meals if they stick to a low fat, low carbo diet. The docs and C.D.E's say "stay in control," but it's really difficult when faced with a complex recipe or a chocolate hot fudge marshmallow sundae. Sue Spitler, the editor of our "1,001" series, worked with Certified Diabetes Educator Linda Eugene to develop and test hundreds and hundreds of easy-to-make recipes for truly wonderful dishes, including the gooey, sweet-tasting desserts you think you'll never be able to eat again. Sue knows that most people are not skilled chefs, and don't have an extra minute to spare in their busy, task-filled days, so she included a chapter of 45-minutes entrees -- great for family meals and impromptu entertaining. As with all our titles for people on restricted diets, the type used in this book is larger than usual, as is the leading (the space between the lines), so reading the recipes won't be a challenge.
Please try some of my favorite recipes from "1,001 Delicious Recipes for People with Diabetes," and let me know what you think. Thank you. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I'm not diabetic, but as I looked through the appetizers section of this cookbook, I just had to try it. The recipes sounded that yummy. I bought the book and recommend it highly to anyone who wants to cook tasty food without resorting to lots of fat and sugar to do it.
I am on Weight Watchers, and the recipes are points-friendly without being tasteless, and "tasteless" is how I would describe every WW recipe and every "healthy" frozen dinner I have tried--sorry to say. By contrast, the food from this cookbook is great. I made the monkfish-cheddar chowder from the book last week and that recipe will be a longterm keeper. [By the way, it works with talapia or another firm white fish if you don't want to spend $$ on monkfish or can't find it at your local, land-locked grocery. :-)]
One of the best things about the book is that it teaches without being at all preachy. For instance, the chowder recipe called for pureeing some of the vegetables and broth before adding the fish. I first thought, "That's a pain in the neck," to this apparently unnecessary step, but I did it, and realized that the soup is much thicker and creamier--without cream--because a portion of the veggies were pureed. I learned something AND I got a great soup out of the deal.
All recipes list calories, sodium, fat, protein, carbs and the like, as well as "exchanges" for those to whom that language is useful. No fiber grams are listed, which makes the recipes a little harder to estimate WW points for than they would be otherwise. Perhaps in a future edition, the authors can list fiber grams. In the meantime, I'm very much enjoying the book and the food I can make with it.

This is the most comprehensive cookbook for diabetics I've ever seen. Once you start using it, you won't be thinking of what you think you shouldn't eat, but will concentrate instead on all the wonderful and delicious recipes that will enable you to stay in control. The ones I made were really delicious, and very easy and to make, and since all the recipes have exchanges and nutritionals, including carbos, cooking diabetic meals is a no-brainer. With over a thousand recipes, you'll find hundreds you'll like; a fine addition to your kitchen bookshelf.

I'M A RECENT DIABETIC. I HAVE LOOKED OVER COOKBOOK AFTER COOKBOOK. NONE ADAPTED TO MY TASTE OR LIFE STYLE. THIS ONE IS TOTALLY GREAT. I MADE THE WALDORF SALAD FOR THANKGIVING. MY FAMILY'S WAS CRAZY ABOUT IT. THE HUNGARIAN GOULASH WAS GREAT ALSO. I HAVE BOUGHT, BUT I HAVEN'T TRIED THE 1,001 DESSERTS BOOK YET. IF IT IS AS GOOD AS THE RECIPE BOOK, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING THE DESSERTS ALSO. IF YOU ARE DIEBETIC, YOU HAVE TO TRY THESE BOOKS. I CAN'T RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH.
