No-Fuss Diabetes Recipes for 1 or 2 : 125 Healthy & Delicious Meals and Desserts
  
Simple
  • Healthy
  • Delicous.

    A Practical Cookbook for people with diabetes.

    You're cooking for just one or two. You're short on time and energy. You're tired of using family-sized recipes, wasting ingredients, and eating leftovers day after day. You want a cookbook you can rely on for great-tasting, easy-to-prepare recipes, without a lot of fuss.

    The innovative No-Fuss Diabetes Recipes for 1 or 2 serves up 125 delicious recipes in large printâ??most of which make one or two servings, use ten ingredients or less, and are simple to prepare. You'll enjoy sumptuous breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and desserts, including Gingerbread Pancakes, Grilled Turkey Breasts with Corn Salsa, Salmon Caesar Salad, Peppercorn Crusted Sirloin Steak, Vegetarian Taco Salads, Spinach and Feta Calzones, Pan-Seared Rosemary Lemon Chicken, and Cranberry-Apple Crisp.

    Each recipe features nutritional information, including carbohydrate choices. The authors also provide great menu ideas, shopping tips, and advice on how to stock your pantry.

    No-Fuss Diabetes Recipes for 1 or 2 features:

  • Easy-to-read large print.
  • Simple-to-prepare recipes with ten ingredients or less.
  • Low-fat, high-flavor cooking tips.
  • Recipes to fit your busy lifestyle.
  • Menu planning made simple.
From the first glance it's clear that this diabetes cookbook is different: the recipes are in large print. It's also different because each recipe makes one or two servings--no waste, no leftovers--for people with diabetes who are living alone or with one other person. No-Fuss Diabetes Recipes for 1 or 2 presents 125 recipes--both traditional and ethnically diverse--that "match good taste with good health" and don't require odd, hard-to-find ingredients. Each major section (breakfast, lunch, dinner) opens with 5 quick recipes that require no more than 8 ingredients and no more than 20 minutes to prepare. Most recipes are modifications of foods you've always liked: Huevos Rancheros, several types of muffins, Black Bean Burritos, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Chocolate Pudding, Scallop Fettuccini. Some are more quirky: Blueberry Fruit Pizza (not pizza at all, but a breakfast item made with pita bread, fat-free cream cheese, apricot preserves, walnuts, and blueberries), Sweet Potato Lunch, Lentil Spaghetti, and Middle Eastern Muffin Burgers (ground beef, couscous, and applesauce). Nutritional breakdown includes calories, carbohydrate, protein, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, and fiber. --Joan Price

(Hide Review...)  Better than nothing

I eat a lot of from scratch food, usually on a vegetarian tilt. I bought this book for myself and my recently diagnosed daughter. To be honest, most of the recipes aren't something I see myself eating. It isn't what I eat, (salads, lean meats) but the quantities that I eat that cause me problems.

For someone who has little idea of how or what to cook, this would be helpful. For someone who has cooked healthy for years, it is redundant and ugly.

Finally, quick recipes! Some of the recipes you get in other books have way too much prep time or are too complicated to make. I think this is the best resource for someone with diabetes who has to watch sugar/carb intake. I hope more versions of this book comes out.

(Hide Review...)  high-carb/low-fat
Reviewer Permalink
There seems to be two camps developing in the type 2
comunity, those who follow the traditional ADA high-carb
and low-fat way-of-life and those who follow the
low-carb, higher protein/fat way. This book is in the
high-carb group. Since I'm keeping my BG's 2hrs post
meal near the pre-meal targets (<120), the meals here
did not help me. Your milage may vary.

I am so pleased to have found this book. Type II runs in our family, and I'm trying to prevent it, by being careful about carbs, and balancing them with protein. All the balancing work is done for you. Great to find a cookbook with easy recipes that taste good, and you won't have to eat it all week! It was just what I had been looking for. I've only had it a few days, and have already tried several recipes. And these easy recipes make you realize how easy it could be to create your own variations. As a singleton, I'm glad things serve one or two, and it gives me a better idea of what a right-sized portion should be.

Two of my best friends are diabetics! We often eat our meals together and I was having a tough time trying to find a good recipe that I could use and yet have the food taste good! I love this book....it is so easy to use. Anyone that does not want to fuss....should buy this book! I think it is wonderful!

(Hide Review...)  For non-diabetics too

These no-fuss recipes are great for ANYONE! You don't have to have diabetes to try these great tasting recipes. And it was such a pleasure to have easy to prepare recipes with amounts to serve one or two people-what a great way to try out a recipe! It is much simpler to double up or increase the serving size of recipes than to divide or reduce a recipe. I think this book should be re-titled to "No-fuss Recipes for One or Two"

(Hide Review...)  An Essential Cookbook for Diabetic "New" Cooks
Reviewer Permalink
"No-Fuss" is truly the best title for this cookbook. My 21 year old daughter, a college student, was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes recently. The dietician has her "counting carbs" and learning to identify slower-absorbing sources of carbohydrates. She is "new" to cooking, and these delicious recipes fit the trends of today's taste, ease of preparation, and are colorful and satisfying. We are hoping for "Book Two" to be out in a few years. Bravo to the writers!

(Hide Review...)  No fuss Diabetic Recipes for 1 or 2
Reviewer Permalink
This is an excellent book of recipes that taste so good and are easy to make for diabetics and others. The authors are registered dietitians and a nutrient analysis is provided for each of the recipes.

I bought the book for my mother-in-law who is diabetic and decided to keep it myself because the recipes are so good and so easy.

It also has a section to help diabetics with planning their meals to meet their meal plan.

I am a second year dietetic intern who will definitely recommend this book for my clients when I begin practicing in May 2000.
