Asian Flavors Diabetes Cookbook: Simple, Fresh Meals Perfect for Every Day Paperback – May 29, 2012

Love it!

Having been recently diagnosed with type-2 diabetes, I've been looking for cookbooks to help me face what seem to be bleak days ahead. I'm a real foody, which probably has helped exacerbate my condition. The recipes in this cookbook have given me both inspiration and hope. I'm making a list of the asian seasonings that I'm going to need and headed out to the grocery store this afternoon.

If you like Asian inspired food, then you will be happy with this cookbook. We have made a number of recipes from it and enjoyed most. The only limitation is that most of the recipes are for 6 servings, so in buying ingredients and in the actual recipe preparation, one has to downsize (assuming the meal is for 2 persons).

I love, love, love Vietnamese foods - especially those including rice noodles! However, with my blood sugar rising, I thought I could never again enjoy such meals. WRONG! When I saw this publication was approved by the American Diabetes Association I knew I had to give it a try - which I DID, and now I am happy, happy, happy that I can enjoy my favories menus again and still maintain a healthy blood sugar level. Cam on rat nhieu Chi Trang (thank you very much Ms Trang)for giving me back this pleasure! by preparing the Asian Flavors Diabetes Cookbook!

I haven't actually tried the recipes yet, but they look really good. It does require buying some special products, but not a lot. Some recipes are higher in carbohydrates than I, as a diabetic, would want. I do appreciate the fine breakdown that is given, though.

Looks Good

Good intro to Asian recipes for diabetics, but I would have liked to have seen more variety and more recipes in general. Still a good book

If you live on the West Coast this Asian cookbook would be useful. I don't. In my rural area there is no way to source the fresh ingredients. Alternitive ingredients aren't given. Too bad. We adore Asian foods. This cookbook was disappointing.

Very comprehensive. Wide range of Asian dishes to choose from and ingredients that are relatively easy to source. And all for diabetics.
