Originally published in 1978, The Art of Cooking for the Diabetic has revolutionized the way people with diabetes think about food. Each of the 375 unbelievably delicious recipes--from appetizers and beverages to entrees and desserts--is healthful and packed with flavor. Completely updated to include the latest American Diabetes Association exchanges and nutrition recommendations, this classic cookbook also details how to incorporate the newest fat­ and sugar-free foods as well as current guidelines for sugar, fat, and sodium.

Review:
This new edition of The Art of Cooking for the Diabetic is a treasure for people with diabetes, and their families. In the last few years, diabetes management and dietary recommendations have changed, and this book reflects those changes. First published in 1978, this third edition has been completely updated, and nearly 300 of its 374 recipes are new. A handy list of "what's out" and "what's in" helps you make sense of the guideline changes--you'll see that the recommendations have been liberalized and individualized, making them much easier and more pleasant to stick to than in the past.

The first 100 pages explain the current thinking on diet and diabetes management: what, how much, and when to eat; the food exchange system; and what you need to know about carbohydrates, fats, and eating out. Hess makes portion control easier by giving "visual guides": a medium potato is the size of a computer mouse; one ounce of cheese is the size of a domino, for example.

The recipes are diverse and tasty, and include familiar favorites and ethnic-inspired dishes for variety. Each includes serving size, nutritional breakdown (calories, carbohydrates, protein, fat, cholesterol, fiber, sodium), food exchanges, and appropriateness for a low-sodium diet. --Joan Price
