Customer Reviews

Not for diabetics

I purchased this book because I liked the idea of having menus organized for the whole year with shopping lists and for diabetics, unfortunately, everything is good except for the diabetic part. The recipes include pasta as a main dish, sandwiches with real bread, potatoes, corn and flour tortillas, cornmeal, as far as I know, all these are a big no no for diabetes. Not happy with it.

highly pleased

I received this book in Feb., but started with the first week of recipes. Most of the meals have been good, some have been excellent. They seem to be right in line with low glycemic diet guidelines. Several meals that claim to serve 4 didn't serve 3. I have skipped some meals, but have tried several new herbs and vegs. One reservation--not everyone can tolerate chili, cumin, cayenne pepper, and other "hot" food items. Suggestions for alternate flavorings would have been nice. I intend to keep using this book to the end, and then start over again, with my own notes and reminders on each recipe I have already tried.

Takes the guess work out

This has been the most helpful cookbook I've ever had. Not only are the meals easy to prepare and delicious, but you even have the shopping list made out. It's a great tool to use for diabetics, or for anyone who wants to eat healthy and loose weight. I've shared it with several friends and co-workers who love it too. We are looking forward to more from Ms. Rondinelli and Ms. Bucko.

NOT JUST FOR THOSE WITH DIABETES!

I have this cook book and it's one of the best cookbooks I own. We don't have diabetes but I am on Weight Watchers and these recipes are good for those trying to lose weight but love tasty, delicious easy-to-make recipes. I bought a couple of these books for friends for the holidays.

great cookbook.....even if you're not diabetic!

This cookbook has great recipes! The results are consistent and the directions are easy to follow. I love the weekly grocery list & the diversity of the recipes.
