The Complete Diabetes Cookbook: The Healthy Way to Eat the Foods You Love (The Complete ATK Cookbook Series)

I purchased 5 highly recommended diabetic cook books on Amazon. This was the only one that was worth the purchase. This book has very good advice in the beginning. Seems to have a good understanding of diabetes. It has great recipes, and the directions are good. It also has great pictures of the food.

Great book many recipes many ideas

What I wish it had was a built in calendar month of recipes and weekly grocery list for said meals. It’s a challenge to be diagnosed, then have to rebuild your meal and shopping. If it’s all right there for a month, so much easier to be successful.

You can’t beat a cookbook from Americas Test Kitchen. This book is a complete, informative guide to eating and food for the diabetic. The recipes are explained well and are complete with photos and nutrition information. Nothing boring here - exciting ingredients and many different cuisines. I’ve tried dozens of the recipes; they have all been delicious. The best cookbook I have found for the diabetic.

Best fish tacos recipe I've ever tried is in here. Their enchiladas is also a hit meal in our house.

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.

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.

This is one of the best diabetic cookbooks I’ve purchased. Most of the recipes are very yummy. A couple can take some prep work, but it’s easy to spread it out by pre-cutting veggies or pre-sautéing ingredients. I’m no expert cook, but I’ve had no problems making these dishes. My kids like the meals, too! I wish they would make another diabetic friendly book with more recipes!

Clear instructions, realistic ingredients, and recipes that don’t feel like “diet food.” Super easy to flip through and find weeknight-friendly options. Really helpful for building better habits without losing joy in eating.

Helpful for Diabetic people or for anyone...

Recipes have great instructions. A little too Tex Mex for my tastes. Love the side bar explanations with helpful tips.

This book give the best tasting recipes for diabetics. So far I’ve tried 5 and they were all winners. I highly recommend this book to people with diabetes. You won’t regret buying this one and you will remain under 7 with these great recipes.

Item arrived early and was as advertised.
