Description: The Simply Gourmet Diabetes Cookbook, previously published in hardcover as The Everyday Gourmet Diabetes Cookbook (0-517-70848-5/14,000), presents more than 200 great recipes and the first comprehensive introduction to the new Carbohydrate Counting System.

For the 14,000,000 diabetics in this country, it's hard enough to create meals every day that maintain steady blood sugar levels, much less ones that are varied and appealing. In The Simply Gourmet Diabetes Cookbook, Mary Donkersloot takes the hassle out of managing diabetes and presents a clear, straightforward low-fat eating plan that anyone could benefit from, supplemented with more than 200 delicious recipes.

As a registered dietitian and a trained chef, Mary utlizes a recent breakthrough in diabetes research endorsed by the American Diabetes Association: the amount of carbohydrates, rather than the source, seems to be the key factor in determining blood sugar levels. Following a foreword written by Gerald Bernstein, President of the ADA, Mary explains the latest findings on diabetes, and applies a system called Carbohydrate Counting, to help diabetics control their disease. Mary discusses controlling diabetes in children, the role of exercise, how to determine each individual's optimal diet, tips on eating out and traveling, and lots more.

Beyond providing useful information, Mary shares her contagious appreciation for food and cooking. Her appealing collection of recipes combines remakes of old favorites and new dishes, all designed to help diabetics maintain steady blood sugar levels. Every recipe is accompanied by a complete nutritional analysis for quick, simple calculation of carbohydrates and other nutrients, as wellas the established exchange program.

The Simply Gourmet Diabetes Cookbook is the most comprehensive, appetizing, versatile, and up-to-date diabetes cookbook on the shelves, and the first to appeal to diabetics and non-diabetics alike.
