PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Despite embracing healthy behaviors in a profession that often embraces vices, Australian chef Moore was shocked to discover he was diabetic at age 35. After suffering a diabetes-related stroke, he vowed to revise his diet and stay as healthy as possible. For years he has shared that information throughout his native Australia on television and in books; here, in his follow-up to 2011 s Blood Sugar, he offers his take on healthy diabetic-friendly dishes in a terrific and approachable collection. Dishes like fluffy lemon ricotta hotcakes; egg, bacon, and mushroom breakfast pita pockets; seared spice-crusted tuna sliders; rich chocolate cake; and cinnamon apple upside-down pudding are surefire hits, but it s his eye for ingenuity that will ensure repeat reads. Steaming mussels, fennel, white wine, and garlic in an aluminum foil satchel is a terrific and mess-free way to serve up the popular bivalves; kids will appreciate his healthy nod to the ubiquitous fried chicken nuggets that employ raw buckwheat for the crunchy exterior, and his Pack N Go Snack Bags show empathy for those with dietary restrictions. Nutrition information isn t included for the recipes, but exchanges are, making this one book diabetics will want to seriously consider adding to their bookshelf.
