About this title

From Booklist:

The concept of food exchanges has greatly simplified the lives of 14 million American diabetics. Yet, as both coauthors found out when they were diagnosed as diabetics, available recipes and gastronomic collections are limited and bland. With the guidance of nutritionists at Boston's Joslin Diabetes Center, they've created more than 300 dishes that are anything but boring. In fact, others watching their fat and cholesterol intake might be tempted by Belgian endive with goat cheese and figs, apple slaw, torta rustica, Persian pot roast, potato and spinach lasagna, chive popovers, and, yes, even desserts such as chocolate hazelnut cake and key lime cheesecake. The influence of world cuisines is apparent, as is the attention to details--nutrition and exchange information for each recipe, innumerable sidebars on cooking techniques, a clock indicating if the foodstuff is quick to prepare, more than 60 menus, and very "digestible" information about equipment, shopping, herb growing, alcohol, salt, and fiber. Barbara Jacobs

From Library Journal:

Polin, a psychologist and talented cook, and Giedt, a food writer and cookbook author, are both fairly recently diagnosed diabetics who were dismayed by the lack of interesting and appealing cookbooks available to them. In conjunction with the Boston-based Joslin Center, one of the country's preeminent diabetes treatment centers, they have developed an impressive collection of lively and sophisticated dishes that should please diabetics and nondiabetics alike. Along with more than 300 recipes, ranging from Spicy Seafood Gazpacho to Thai Basil Chicken to Herb-Stuffed Fillet of Beef, there are lots of menu suggestions, ideas for quick meals and snacks, and background information on diabetes and health. Essential.
