The Complete Diabetes Cookbook: The Healthy Way to Eat the Foods You Love (The Complete ATK Cookbook Series) Paperback – Illustrated, November 6, 2018

This book has helped my husband have better meals, and helped me make them for him! No matter what he's in the mood for, I can find something along the lines in this book! It is very detailed, so I'm never confused as to how to cook things, and we almost always get multiple portions...making me able to warm up something later fast! It's great!

Following my partners joint replacement, I began cooking out of this cookbook. In 3 months he has lost 30 pounds. The recipes are multi step, but the results are worth the work. I have been making meals almost exclusively from this for the past 3 months and don’t recall any meals we didn’t like.

I have been trying to cook healthier meals. It's my hope that I can control my diabetes with dietary changes and not have to take yet another medication. The authors have really worked hard to create flavorful recipes that are low in fat, salt, and overall calories. So far my efforts have been hit or miss. There are some great options for breakfast here. I enjoyed the Fatoush salad and several chicken dishes, but the mushroom meat loaf was labor-intensive and not that great, especially as leftovers. Still, this is a large book, so there's plenty more for me to try, and I feel sure that I will find some new favorites.

I bought this because I have both type 1 and type 2 diabetics in my family. Each recipe lists nutritional information at the end of the recipe (rather than at the back of the cookbook like most other ATK cookbooks). In another review someone said they don’t include serving sizes/amounts. They actually do on many of the recipes, but it’s in a light orange color, so maybe that person didn’t see it. I included a picture of this so you can see.There is a wide range of recipes, from breakfast to special treats. There are recipes for meat eaters as well as vegetarians, side dishes, appetizers, vegetables, etc.There is info on the different types of diabetes, as well as a rating on every recipe called “carbohydrate choice” to help you spread your carb intake throughout the day. There is information on meal planning as well.The book is a thick paperback with thick pages. There are photographs for most recipes. I would recommend this to anyone with diabetes or to people who cook for diabetics.

Before I purchased this cookbook I did a fair amount of reading and research to find a good cookbook for someone with Diabetes. It has a lot of great examples of meal plans, why each recipe is good for you as well. Every recipe I've tried has been a hit and absolutely delicious. I find myself looking more and more into this cookbook than any of my others for what to make.

As a diabetic, I was very interested in “The Complete Diabetes Cookbook” by America’s Test Kitchen which includes many low carb recipes but also includes several high carb recipes such as Garden Minestrone with 42g carbs/serving including 9 grams sugar and Beef and Vegetable Stew with 39g carbs/serving including 10 grams sugar. These recipes don’t leave many carbs for the rest of your meal, if you are tracking carbs/meal. White potato is a traditional ingredient but has very little nutritional value and is mostly carbs. I’m disappointed that a cookbook claiming to be a healthy way to eat doesn’t suggest alternatives. However, these recipes can be tailored to your needs by substituting or reducing the amount of white potato, tomato or grain. On the plus side, the cookbook includes 1) many low carb recipes, 2) recipes with interesting combinations of ingredients and flavors, and 3) America’s Test Kitchen provides cooking directions on how to make the recipes. For these reasons, I rated this cookbook as a 3 for diabetics.

As usual with Test Kitchen cookbooks, this book is well-written and very thorough from the proverbial A to Z. However, as with most Test Kitchen recipes the authors assume that you are an experienced cook who knows their way around the kitchen, are familiar with cooking, and have all the necessary ingredients and implements on hand. The recipes and instructions may be a challenge for new and inexperienced cooks.
