The bestselling authors of Healthy Calendar Diabetes Cooking again unite to bring a message to diabetics everywhere: The struggle isn’t in avoiding carbs altogether—it’s about eating the healthy ones.
In their perfect pairing, Chef Jennifer Bucko, MCFE and Registered Dietician Lara Rondinelli, RD, LDN, CDE, deliver recipes bursting (so that your pants won’t have to) with flavor for every meal, including the crowd pleasers (fun pizzas), all while placing emphasis on heart-healthy fats, lean protein and a proper balance of carbohydrates (following the 2005 USDA Guidelines for three servings of whole grains per day).
With nearly 200 recipes jam-packed into 235 pages, there is no skimping on information for helpful tips included with recipes, including the all-important nutritional data (with exchanges), keeping guesswork away while in the kitchen you play.

Shortcuts and quick facts included with corresponding recipes are a boon, and the large-type font makes reading easy. Recipes are organized by type, and the index lists alphabetically, for fast searches of your favorite dish. Even better, the index contains recipes arranged by subject, food group or main ingredient; so when I want to find the Roasted Garlic Orange Roughy (only 5 net carbs), I can search the index one two ways and quickly find what I need to make a beautiful meal.
While the emphasis of this book is to help Diabetics eat healthy, whole-grains and ‘good’ carbohydrates, even non-diabetic, low-carbohydrate aficionados will still find plenty to stir about, from the Spinach Frittata (at only 1 net carb) to the Turkey Sausage and Egg Casserole (7 net carbs), to (my personal favorite) French Onion Soup (8 net carbs).
One of the highest-carbohydrate items in the book I located was the Lemon Curd with Berries, at 39 net carbs per serving. Still, no worries, as many of the recipes can be tweaked slightly if a lower carbohydrate count is desired.
