description: To a diabetic, dietary constraints are a constant concern and meal-planning a daily challenge. Author Mary Jane Finsand, who had been cooking two meals a night, one for her family and a special meal for her diabetic husband, decided there had to be a better solution. She began to adapt her favorite recipes for the needs of diabetics, and kept going. Over 2,000 recipes later, the result of her work is collected in this extraordinarily comprehensive cookbook, which is full of options for every taste and palate imaginable.Each recipe is accompanied by the exchange list values from the American Diabetes Association and the American Dietetic Association, meticulously calculated to be accurate for the diabetic. Each listing also notes additional nutritional values�including calories, fat, carbohydrates, protein, sodium, and cholesterol�that can help anyone balance his or her diet.The recipes are healthy, high in fiber, and low in cholesterol. As the author knows from experience, time is precious, so the dishes are also simple and easy to prepare.The first half of the book offers options for hors d'oeuvres; soups and salads; poultry, meat and seafood; casseroles and eggs; and fruits and vegetables. Tomato Cheese Quiche or Vegetarian Supper Pie are perfect for family dinners. Italian Asparagus, Glorified Salmon, and Teriyaki Pork Steak are perfect for entertaining, or just spicing up a midweek meal. Vegetarian and kid-friendly dishes are sprinkled liberally throughout.,br&gt;The second half of the book addresses that most troublesome are of the diabetic diet�desserts. All the previously off-limit objects of frustration and craving are include, in new healthy forms: cakes, puddings, candies, chocolates, pies, cookies, cobblers, and meringues can all be added back in to the family menu.Mary Jane Finsand is the author of over a dozen highly successful diabetic cookbooks that were used in this compilation. Karin Cadwell, M.Ed., R.N. and Edith White, R.N., who worked closely with Mrs. Finsand on her first books, wrote the last two titles.
