The Diabetes Dtour Diet Cookbook

This is an excellent companion piece to the DTOUR DIET. Once you've gone through the recipes in the DIET book and are comfortable with the mix-n-match approach, this cookbook gets you many more recipes that are tasty and easy to prepare.

The Diabetes DTOUR Diet Cookbook is broken down into three parts. Part one is an introduction to the DTOUR diet. Part two is the recipe section. Part three is full of additional resources like sample menus and eating out suggestions. The recipes are broken down into Appetizers, Breakfasts, Soups & Sandwiches, Salads & Sides, Meats & Poultry, Seafood, Vegetarian, and Sweets & Treats. Each chapter contains a number of beautiful, full color photographs of some of the recipes included. Each recipe is written on one page with no carry over to the next page which makes it very easy to follow and to cook from. The recipes are very well thought out and include an ingredients list and easy to follow, numbered directions. Recipes also include nutrition information including calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, sat fat, cholesterol, sodium, fiber, calcium & omega-3's. There are also notations included throughout to let the reader know which recipes are quick to make. I was extremely happy to find out that the cookbook doesn't use artificial sweeteners in its recipes. The recipes use traditional sweeteners like honey, granulated sugar and confectioners sugar. The recipes do generally recommend using ingredients that are low fat and low sodium which makes sense in a diet cookbook. A number of the recipes have sections with suggestions on how the recipe can be made ahead or stored for future use. This is a great help for busy cooks who don't have a lot of time in the kitchen. I also enjoyed the notations that let me know how I could use up any leftovers from the meal or what else I should serve with it for side dishes. I loved the variety of different types of recipes. I found old family favorites like New England Clam Chowder along with exotic sounding dishes like Sesame Ginger Tuna Kabobs. There are man pleasing recipes like Slow Cooker Beef Pot Roast with Root Vegetables and kid pleasing recipes like Ranch Chicken Fingers. Not to mention all the yummy desserts in there to please ME like the Milk Chocolate Panna Cotta! Oh boy now that sounds good! If you're trying to loose weight, lower your blood sugar or just eat healthier, The Diabetes DTOUR Diet Cookbook will show you how with each tempting, mouth watering recipe!

I am enjoying reading the book and the recipes are interesting. I don't have diabetes but do not want to either.

The product was in excellent shape, as described. The amount of time of shipping was longer than expected, but that was the USPS responsibility. A-1 shipped immediately, as stated, and the product was in excellent condition. Good job.
