PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The emphasis is on mindful enjoyment, rather than dietary restriction, in this collection of colorful and cravable creations. Tips for diabetic-friendly eating include strategic shopping and planning (read labels, don't skip meals or snacks), and choosing whole grains such as barley instead of rice in a cilantro-lime side dish. An icon for "carb choices" (defined as 15 total grams of carbs per "choice" or serving) marks each recipe, simplifying the task of counting carbohydrates, which is crucial for monitoring blood sugar levels. Without sacrificing flavor, dressings, marinades, and seasoning blends are made with little or no salt (leaning on garlic and herbs instead), while the sugars in classic desserts are greatly reduced or replaced with fruit purees—satisfyingly exemplified in a whole-wheat chocolate cake that's sweetened with canned pumpkin, and a raspberry fruit spread that includes monk fruit. Breakfast options include both the savory and the sweet in such delicious concoctions as butternut squash cookies and spiced lentil bowls that can be enjoyed morning or night. Meanwhile, an array of snacks, such as baked Parmesan carrot fries, are recommended as "little refueling spots that bridge mealtimes so you don't end up overeating." Those looking to add more excitement to their health-conscious cooking will find it in this liberating guide.
