The American Diabetes Association Diabetes Comfort Food Cookbook

This cookbook has great recipes. The food is very good and healthy too.

Loved the book and recipes. Having a family that does not like a lot of food and also being on a very restricted diet. This book was great. Easy to follow recipes and every day foods.

Nice cookbook. Though I bought to make recipes for my husband. Too many international foods. He likes plain American fare. But it is very nice. Good recipes. Presented well with tips for diabetics in exchanges and the such. The pictures make you hungry just looking at them.

Our son was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. When this book arrived he began thumbing through it and was very excited to see many of his favorite meals included, classic Hummus, Creamy Deviled Eggs, Everyday Taco Salad, Roast Chicken, Chicken (sloppy) Joes, Mac 'n' Cheese, Chicken Cacciatore, Grilled Pork and Cheese Quesadilla, Indian Lamb Curry, Classic Free Form Meatloaf, Double Chocolate Brownies, & Old Fashion Peanut Butter Cookies. Most of the ingredients are typical pantry items with a few new items that ought to be in a diabetics pantry. There are many "extras" in brown boxes through out the book like, Fast fixes for Rice, A Little Chocolate Goes a Long Way, How to Saute the Right way. This book helps us know that we can learn to adapt our usual recipes, eat flavorful meals, help him, and us, eat right. Excited to start trying them.

This is probably a great book for people who don't associate the word "Comfort" with just plain home cooking. It certainly has some great sounding recipes, but not the type of food I call "comfort food." Probably because I'm from the South, and we look at comfort food as entirely different from what this book calls "Comfort" food. I'm sure other people would find wonderful recipes in this book; I'm definitely NOT saying it is a bad book.....just not what I am looking for.

I purchased this book after a new diagnosis of diabetes for a member of the household. Hearing "diabetic", I assumed we were doomed to eating boring foods...WRONG! This book has wonderful, easy to follow, easy to cook recipes, giving you the diabetic exchanges in every one and all keeping within normal range of carbs for a diabetic. Although geared toward a diabetic watching their carb count, they are delicious meals you can make for the whole family. Recommed the book highly.

I was so happy to finally find a diabetic cookbook where the recipes are not only delicious but also enjoyable for the whole family. My husband eats mostly vegetarian, and my daughter is the world's pickiest eater. They both love anything I have made from this book. If I had any quibbles, it would be that the recipes take awhile to prepare so it is sometimes a challenge on a weeknight to get food on the table in a reasonable amount of time. But it is easy to make some things ahead of time and combine everything later. This is a book for how America likes to eat - I no longer feel as if I'm depriving myself of food that normal people get to eat!

Everything that you could possibly want in assisting you to provide healthy, nutrition rich comfort foods for pre-diabetic and diabetic diners can be found in Robyn Webb's THE DIABETES COMFORT FOOD COOKBOOK is here. Eye-catching photos of palate satisfying food recipes are organized into categories such as sides and salads, soups and stews, one pot and skillet meals, plus tasty pastas and, of course, desserts, are here with detailed instructions for preparing such foods. Exchange choices and the calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrate, fiber, sugar, and protein content are listed for each recipe at the bottom of that recipe. I really like roasted vegetables so enjoyed the roasted potatoes, carrots, and parsnips recipe, not to mention the braised cabbage and apples recipe. If you indulge in a favorite like mac and cheese, you'll enjoy the version presented here. Read, cook, and find out for yourself just how delectable these recipes are. Savor the trip in preparation as well as the end product. Amazon is amazing in offering this book online and so easy to purchase. Thank you Amazon for bringing this book to my door. Z. Smith
