Great Information!!

I am a nurse who does nutritional teaching. I am going to suggest this book for my patients. A must read for everyone

I really, Really, REALLY dislike cheaply presented paperback cookbooks without photographs. They ARE Uninspiring and read like text books, and this is written by an M.S., R.D. I can see why this book is what it is..... But for those who are in need/want of a Low Glycemic, weight loss, & blood sugar maintenance cookbook, this might be what you are looking for.

The ingredients lists are in italics, so those are difficult to see.

I did like the nutritional information at the end of each recipe.

Every recipe I've tried so far from this book has been either good or terrific. There's one in particular, a Greek Chicken Pasta, that was so wonderful I couldn't believe I had actually cooked it! I'm looking forward to trying more recipes from it.

A good resource with several great recipes I've tried and many more I haven't!

This book has to do with the Low Glycemic Index foods. This would be a good book to own. It has a lot of recipes.

A little dry, not many pictures but the recipes are good for you and even better they taste great!

They don't tell the sugar content of any of the recipes. Boo.
