Product Description

Many cookbooks for people with diabetes are written by nutritionists or dietitians, but while those books might present well-balanced and nutritional recipes, they often fail to focus on recipes that are flavorful and easy to prepare. Author Chris Smith is not only a trained restaurant chef and a graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America--but he is also a person with diabetes.

You will find more than 150 recipes--everything from appetizers to entrees to desserts--arranged by season so that the freshest ingredients can always be used. You will also discover a simple and convenient way to organize meals up to a month in advance using the Diabetic Chef's unique meal planner.

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Culinary Institute of America graduates don't often worry about food's nutritional values. But CIA product Chris Smith has diabetes, so he understands that for himself and his fellow sufferers, the food they consume can indeed be a matter of life and death. Nevertheless, the diabetic in no way must endure a life of bland, uninteresting food. Smith has taken the principles of the best contemporary cooking (fresh ingredients, ethnic variety, eye appeal, multiple textures, and assertive flavors) and applied them to a tightly carbohydrate-controlled diet. To emphasize the importance of fresh ingredients, Smith organizes recipes by season to take advantage of the market's best-quality output. Recipes vary in complexity from sophisticated Grilled Apple Pear Soup to a simple Meat Loaf free of the usual starch binder. Collections lacking good contemporary recipes for diabetics would do well to add this volume. Mark Knoblauch
