My mother has been recently diagnosed with Diabetes and this book has good recipes for her to eat healthy and sugar safely. She is in another country so I haven't been able to taste any of the recipes but she says it's working for her (and the rest of the family).

This cookbook is great for anyone who wants healthy, simple, and delicious Latin food. The book offers recipes from various regions too. The layout is smartly put together as the Spanish and English language versions are next to each other on a two page spread. I've tried several recipes and all have been very good. My mother, who is diabetic, is happy to have new ways of preparing some of her favorites. Highly recommend.
