Product Description 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 print—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:
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

i relied on other amazon reviewers to choose this book.
talk about spot-on 5-star reviews! this book covers a few simple basics, great pantry/refrig stocking lists which could make everything in the book, and get-real recipes and portion-control servings (without being starvation-servings).
i’m back to purchase one as an x-mas gift for a dear friend.
i used a marketplace seller and the book arrived quickly and in new condition for a fraction of the new price. great!

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.

I am not diabetic, nor is anyone in my family, but this is one of my favorite cookbooks. Almost every recipe I’ve tried from this book is cheap, fast, easy, healthy, and tasty. I’m a very adventurous eater, but when cooking for myself, the biggest problem tends to be the cost of picking up boxes and bottles of ingredients that might only end up being used once. Most of the ingredients called for in this book are things I already have in the pantry or freezer anyway.
This is one book that will stay on my shelf for years to come.

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.

“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!
