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.

Ugh
Bought this book, the first recipe we tried was one pot chicken and rice. It’s not one pot. But that’s forgivable. Less forgivable is the two lines of instructionThe recipe included that are unclear and incomplete. We had several unanswered questions. We tried to cook it anyway. It was a colossal disaster and ended up in the garbage, and then we had to figure out what to do for dinner. Unclear instructions are the unforgivable sin of recipe books. Maybe some of the other recipes are great I don’t know. I likely won’t try them because the first one was such a catastrophe.
