The Joslin Diabetes Gourmet Cookbook: Heart-Healthy Everyday Recipes For Family And Friends by Bonnie Sanders Polin (Author), Frances Towner Giedt (Author).The concept of food exchanges has greatly simplified the lives of 14 million American diabetics. Yet, as both coauthors found out when they were diagnosed as diabetics, available recipes and gastronomic collections are limited and bland. With the guidance of nutritionists at Boston's Joslin Diabetes Center, they've created more than 300 dishes that are anything but boring.
In fact, others watching their fat and cholesterol intake might be tempted by Belgian endive with goat cheese and figs, apple slaw, torta rustica, Persian pot roast, potato and spinach lasagna, chive popovers, and, yes, even desserts such as chocolate hazelnut cake and key lime cheesecake. The influence of world cuisines is apparent, as is the attention to details nutrition and exchange information for each recipe, innumerable sidebars on cooking techniques, a clock indicating if the foodstuff is quick to prepare, more than 60 menus, and very "digestible" information about equipment, shopping, herb growing, alcohol, salt, and fiber.
