Winner - Gourmand World Cookbook Best World Gourmand Cookbook Health and Nutrition 2017 Being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes needn't mean an end to enjoying food. In his bestselling gluten-free cookbooks, Phil Vickery showed it's possible to overcome dietary restrictions and still eat well. Now he's turned his attention to creating recipes that will help diabetics take control of their diet and lower their blood sugar levels, with the endorsement of Diabetes UK. Organised into Breakfasts, Light Bites, Soup & Lunch, Main Meals, Sweet Things & Drinks and Sides & Dressings, the recipes are accompanied by nutritional analysis and at-a-glance `traffic light' labelling. They include delicious dishes such as Squash, Feta & Hazelnut Salad and Roast Butterfly Chicken with Pomegranate, Lemon, Garlic & Mint, and cakes and desserts such as Banana Pinenut Cake and Easy Chocolate Mousse. With advice on achieving (and maintaining) a healthy weight, practical tips on eating less refined carbohydrates, smaller portions, and nutrient dense ingredients, Phil makes eating sensibly easier and more appealing than ever.
This is one of the first books I was bought when I became diabetic, my mum thought I was worth spending £20 on a book! And not a bad book at that! I think I must spent months cooking most of the recipes in here, I can see a lot of my notes inbetween a lot of pages. This has to stay too, no charity shop for this at the moment!!
