In the second part of the book, Dianne Young presents more than 145 low-fat, heart-healthy recipes like Winter Green Soup; Spicy Chilled Soba Noodles; Lime Chicken Breasts; Fresh Rhubarb and Strawberry Pie; and Cardamon Cream Cake. Excerpt The recipes have been evalutated for exchanges and nutritive value by a registered dietitian. The American Diabetes Association Exchange Lists are included in their entirety. This book is an invaluable resource for diabetics, or anyone struggling with the restrictions of the diabetic diet.

Booklist
The words balance, moderation, and sensible apply well to Juliano's treatise on living with diabetes. The problem is, most Americans...and even the 15 some million now diagnosed with the disease, simply plug up their ears when the dreaded words are discussed. Yet the good doctor, himself a diabetic, explains well how to cope with all sorts of life occasions, including holidays, restaurants, parties, and travel. His colleague, chef Young, then whips up about 145 recipes, all intended to fit within the diabetic exchange list. The substitution of herbs and spices for unnecessary fats, and the emphasis on grains and vegetables should come as no surprise, even to those not medically restrained.

Ingram
