Product Description
The book food lovers with diabetes have been waiting for: a through-the-menu collection of 250 dishes to meet any craving, from hot and spicy to sweet and sour, from creamy to crunchy, from pastas to dessert. Written by Tom Valenti, one of America's Ten Best Chefs (Food & Wine) and a "clairvoyant in the kitchen" (Ruth Reichl, The New York Times)—and a diabetic—You Don’t Have To Be Diabetic To Love This Cookbook is filled with recipes so delicious, so imaginative, so varied and enticing that it will turn the burden of following a diabetic regimen into a celebration of food.
In fact, this is food for everyone in the family to sit down and enjoy, with no penalty to the non-diabetics. Valenti employs innovations and techniques that are a signature of his cuisine—acid to brighten flavors, unexpected combinations of texture and temperature, turkey bacon as a foundation ingredient to add a haunting smoky-salty quality—and he never resorts to imitation products. Recipes include Asparagus and Mushroom Risotto; Chicken Chaat; Filet Mignon with Black and Green Peppercorn Sauce; Snapper Piccata; Grilled Duck Breast Paillard with Orange, Onion, and Mint; Lamb Sausage with Warm Potato Salad; Shrimp and Tomato Ravioli; Goat Cheese Cake; Banana Mousse; Miniature Pumpkin Pies.
Real flavors, real food, and finally, real pleasure, for America's 23.6 million diabetics.

love this book. i bought it for a gift for someone who has diabetis, and i was so pleasantly surprised, i ordered on for myself !!! i became a fan of tom's and have gotten his other books, especially the slow cooking book.
when i bought the book, i did not realize that the author is the owner of the restaurant Ouest. I have eaten there and it is a must visit when one is in the city.
there are great, real life recipes. basic facts that he as a professional who love full flavor healthy food shares. many of the tips are things that one would learn if they were going an internship with a professional, ie ratings for balsamic vinegar, etc...
getting this book has allowed me to clear out about 20 other books that were just taking up space on my shelves.

A menu of over 200 dishes from spicy to sweet and sour September 18, 2009

Chef and author Tom Valenti has diabetes - and provides a menu of over 200 dishes from spicy to sweet and sour, with all textures, to show that a diabetic meal need not be bland or dull. Even pastas and desserts are included - usual dishes diabetic cookbooks avoid - in a creative collection of dishes ranging from a Chicken 'Pot Pie' to Lobster Rolls and Spicy Coconut Turkey Soup. Any general lending library will relish this presentation.

I was diagnosed with diabetes a little over a year ago and let me say that in itself is an ordeal, but to then worry about what you are going to be able to prepare to eat, and probably cook seperate meals for the non-diabetics in your life, this cookbook was a wonderful surprise. I did a boatload of nervous research on cookbooks and discovered that most diabetic cookbooks don't have a long shelf life since new things are discovered about diabetes and the diabetic diet all the time. When I saw a piece about this cookbook on the local news I was thrilled and went right to Amazon and bought it. First - let me just say THANK YOU! Second - While I didn't eat some of these things before being diagnosed, I truly appreciated the abundance of recipes and the suggestions on how to alternate a recipe without destroying it. It makes it so much easier to cook for two people, one diabetic and one non-diabetic, when the food is flavorful and good. Third - I recommend this cookbook to everyone, diabetic and non-diabetic alike that I know. Anyone that wants to eat healthier, this is a great addition to that cookbook shelf. Again, thank you for making what could have been a terrifying experience a little easier to navigate.
This really is a keeper March 2, 2010

This really is a great cookbook.
It's written by a chef who was daignosed as an adult and didn't want to change too many of his eating habits.
Nothing in here is artificial--lots of tempting pictures and ideas for all courses.
I checked it out of the library first, and liked it so much that I bought it!
