Award-winning cookbook author extraordinaire Carol Gelles, a trained nutritionist who herself has type 2 diabetes, has created 250 all-natural, healthful recipes for every meal of the day – recipes that nourish and rejuvenate and are so flavorful, they’ll please everyone in the family. Easy enough to prepare for everyday breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, or special occasions, each recipe comes with at-a-glance information on its glycemic index rating (nearly all recipes are low-GI), essential nutrients, and diabetic exchanges. For cooks with special dietary needs, comprehensive recipe variations make it easy to reduce fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, protein, or carbohydrates. Extensive charts give all of the nutritional values for each recipe at the back of the book.
The 250 enticing recipes include: appetizers, soups, entrees, side dishes, salads, breakfast and brunch dishes.
