Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have blood sugar problems and, I suspect, pre-diatbes. I had the hardest time finding cookbooks that had a big section on ideas for just vegetables! I wanted to add more interesting veggie side dishes into my meal plans but even the vegetarian books I looked at just didn't have what I wanted. This book does - and a whole lot more. Lots of stews and soups and skillet meals. Most of them can be served either plain (such as a soup or stew) or over rice or noodles. The nice thing is that most of the recipes don't incorporate many carbs, therefore making them low-glycemic, which is great for anyone who struggles with diabetes, pre-diabetes, hypoglycemia (which is my issue) or any other problems with erratic or unstable blood glucose levels. I have tried MANY of the recipes and found them all to be "keepers". I do love that I can make some kind of meal that can be served over rice and give it to my family that way and serve it to myself without rice. You won't be disappointed in this book. The only thing I can say in a negative way is that the author is very much into a "no sodium" way of thinking so everything is listed as "salt-free" and he never adds salt to any recipe. I add salt to all of them and find the flavor enhanced even more. Check out this book! I use mine several times a week and will continue to for years to come.
