Delicious, healthy, and easy!, Mar 15 2010
By a customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mediterranean Diabetes Cookbook (ADA) (Paperback)
Amy Riolo has done it again! I've enjoyed her Arabian and Egyptian cookbooks, "Arabian Delights" and "Nile Style," both of which are food stained from frequent use, but "The Mediterranean Diabetes Cookbook" is the most user-friendly of the three. It includes bright, flavorful recipes from Spain to North Africa to the Levant that include mostly common ingredients such as chicken, olive oil, tomato, and fresh herbs with a touch of the exotic such as rose water, couscous, and arborio rice. Many of the recipes are simple to make for after work, requiring only one pot and a few ingredients, most of which are staples. Each recipe includes nutritional information and a tidbit about the origin of the recipe. Also, there are two helpful indexes, one divided by main ingredient/dish, and another divided by country. There are even recipes for spice mixes to use with the recipes in the book or for the cook's own creations. So far, my favorite dish is the chicken with carrots and leeks--perfect for a cold winter night, but I've also enjoyed the Dijon-glazed chicken, Moroccan chicken with lemon, Turkish chicken with tomatoes and yogurt, and the Caprese-style chicken. I'm looking forward to trying the salad and sorbet recipes during the summer, not to mention the seafood and soup recipes. This book will keep me busy for a while!

Tasty and healthful food that is easy to prepare!, Mar 27 2010
By Paula Jacobson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mediterranean Diabetes Cookbook (ADA) (Paperback)
Amy Riolo's "The Mediterranean Diabetes Cookbook" is my new favorite cookbook. Although it is designed to be for people with diabetes, it is, in fact, a cookbook for anyone who enjoys tasty healthful food that is easy to prepare. She uses no artificial sweeteners, low fat or sugar-free ingredients - just fresh natural food from the garden, farm, and sea. Riolo is amazing at combining ingredients and flavors in a way that pleases both the eye and the palate. Her recipes are simple to prepare, delicious, and full of health benefits. She gives you a short background of the recipe's origin, the nutritional values of each dish, and suggested accompaniments. I have already made many of the dishes in the book and can't wait to try more!

This review is from: The Mediterranean Diabetes Cookbook (ADA) (Paperback)
The Mediterranean diet has been shown to be very healthy. For me, I can tell when I eat this type of diet compared to the "Western Diet" with the salt, white flour, processed foods, etc. I eat as healthy as I can 99% of the time... but when traveling, which is now rare for me, I am not always able to follow the proper diet, and I can tell in my level of functioning.The book has good detailed information on basics of the Mediterranean diet: What is Mediterranean Cuisine, Med. lifestyle and your diabetes meal planner, where to buy guide, and pantry items.
Chapter 1: Small Plates,
Chapter 2: Favorite Courses,
Chapter 3: Magical Mediterranean mains, The Spirit in Which Food is offered,
Chapter 4: Simple, Sensational Sides
Chapter 5: Sunny Salads
Chapter 6: Fantastic Finales
Chapter 7: Dramatic Drinks
Chapter 8: Bountiful Breads
Chapter 9: Flavorful Enhancers
I usually go through a new cookbook and make a note for the recipes that I wish to try a and prioritize them so I know which I want to try first... this book has a long list!
I especially like the detailed nutrition included for each recipe! A must have for healthy eating! All in all a very good cookbook for anyone diabetic or not!
