CLEGG’S TRIM & TERRIFIC™ DIABETIC COOKING: Over 200 Recipes That Can Be On Your Table In 30 Minutes Or Less (American Diabetes Association, August 2007). In line with her commitment to a healthy lifestyle, her new book is filled with more than 200 delicious, nutritious, and easy-to-prepare recipes, ideal for people with diabetes as well as anyone looking to stay healthy and feel great.

And they are part of her easy, everyday approach to cooking that is aimed at helping people get savory meals on the table quickly. HOLLY CLEGG’S TRIM & TERRIFIC DIABETIC COOKING includes both great-tasting recipes for old favorites, such as Chicken Pot Pie, Corn Chowder, and Banana Blueberry Muffins, as well as tantalizing new ones, such as Tuscan Bean Soup, Chinese Chicken Salad with Asian Vinaigrette, and Berry Tiramisu.

In addition to complete nutritional information for each dish, Clegg also offers dozens of “Terrific Tidbits” – helpful for the experienced cook and novice alike. For example, avocados can be made to ripen more quickly by placing them in a brown paper bag overnight; overripe bananas are perfect for banana bread – and can even be frozen until they’re used; and couscous is extra flavorful when cooked in chicken or beef broth.

Easy-to-read symbols quickly identify vegetarian recipes and those that are freezer-friendly, and Clegg also includes a “stock the pantry” section listing refrigerator, freezer, baking, pantry, and spice and seasoning staples, as well as an inventory of the ingredients needed to prepare the meals featured in the book. 

“I don’t have diabetes myself, but from watching my grandmother I understand how important delicious, healthy eating is to people with diabetes,” writes Clegg. HOLLY CLEGG’S TRIM & TERRIFICDIABETIC COOKING makes it possible for everyone in the family to say healthy while enjoying fabulous-tasting foods.
