The Heart-Smart Diabetes Kitchen: Fresh, Fast, and Flavorful Recipes Made with Canola Oil

The recipes in this cookbook are, of course, healthy since it was supported by the American Diabetes Association. However, when I bought it I did not know that it was really published by the Canola industry. Every receipe calls for that oil. Not that the oil isn't good for you but I felt, first, that it was just a big advertisement I had paid for. My second objection is that many of the recipes called for "exotic" or not ordinary products you would have in your pantry. I don't like having to buy a whole bottle of an "exotic" ingredient when the recipe only requires 1/4 teaspoon. I'm disappointed in the American Diabetes Association and the cookbook.

Recipes have a lot of on-hand ingredients. They use canola oil instead of olive oil and that makes a huge difference -- the flavors of the ingredients are not masked by the olive oil. Have repeated a few of the recipes that will become favorites. Very pleased.

This is a fantastic cook book! lots of great recipes, great ideas and easy to fix meals!

I would recommend this book to anyone. It is easy and recipes can be prepared in less than 30". I have even given this book as a gift. All the meat recipes are awesome especially the pork tenderloin ones.

Very boring recipes, like pile some vegetables on a plate.

Helpful book of food for those with diabetes or for those who might be headed in that direction

Nice

Good recipe ideas using fresh foods. I like the emphasis on fresh food with eye and color appeal. I have made several recipes in the book and have enjoyed the results.
