having just recieved my book i decided to try a recipe right away.i chose fish and mushroom pie,and i found it easy to follow ,and really tasty.i cant wait to try more recipes.
it is just what i wanted ,everyday recipes,nothing to fancy.

best ever cook book
This is the best cook book I have ever had, the food is good, its simple to use and its helped me deal with my diabetis. I found other books could be quite complicated and required special ingreadients, this book did not I could get every thing from my local soupermarket and make great food.

If you count carbohydrate, don't buy this book...
Aha, I thought - a recipe book written by a diabetic nutritionist! What more could I want, it'll give me all the information I need! I'll tell you what more I want - recipes which give the carbohydrate value of prepared food. As a Type 1 diabetic, my entire food intake relies on accurate counting of carbohydrate. That's why I bought this book, and it gives no help whatsoever with carbohydrate values. I can use any recipe book I choose and work out the carbohydrate content for myself; it's tedious and turns cooking into an exercise in arithmetic. Similar recipes could be found in any book advocating healthy eating, ie low fat, less sugar and salt, more fresh fruit and vegetables, and wholemeal bread and pasta. I also looked at Antony Worral Thompson's 'Healthy Eating for Diabetes' and opted for this book instead. I wish I'd gone for Worral Thompson; it carries a great deal more information about food values and glycaemic index, and the recipes give carbohydrate values. So, if you count carbohydrate, be careful which books you buy...
