The American Diabetes Association Diabetes Comfort Food Cookbook

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

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.

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.

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

The ADA Comfort Food Cookbook really lives up to it's name. So many recipes to try, and they all looked so good I didn't know where to start. so I started with the first recipe, (really good, and we both loved the wanton bundles). Since then I have tried several other recipes and they have all been delicious and easy to cook. Real comfort food that fiuts into our diabetic diets. i would recommend this cookbook to anyone, whether they have diabetes or not. It is good for the whole family, and the kids will love lots of the recipes.

Although the recipes in this book are pretty tasty-sounding and interesting, I didn't realize that the book was written in 2011. The recipes use a lot of ingredients that are just not as healthy as they could be. I'm mainly talking about the use of non-whole products like fat free and low-fat ingredients. When those fats are removed they're replaced by processed unhealthy ingredients. I think from what I've experienced with today's whole food nutrition theories, there's better choices.

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.

The only diabetic cookbook so far that is not a waste of money ! What would you think if i said that you can have a baked potato soup that is also healthy? Well, you can and it's got the recipe. Also has all the carbs and facts counted for you. Great cookbook for real world cooking. Also has some "world cooking" recipes that sound great. The book is not a rectangle though like the picture...it is a perfect square.

I had to buy a cookbook that I actually would use for comfort food while I was pregnant. I have Type 2 diabetes, and I was instructed that I couldn't gain more than 10 pounds during my whole pregnancy, and that I would have to work especially hard to keep my sugars low. I did it! It was hard, but being able to eat comfort food that didn't shoot me over my goal sugars, was wonderful. It's an easy to use book, and I love cookbooks, so it wasn't so hard to immerse myself in it. User friendly, and pregnancy friendly.

Lots of great recipes.

Great recipes suitable for the whole family.
