I find this book to be an easy quick cookbook for those who have diabetes. I understand why a lot of people don't like it though. There are a lot of shortcuts with processed foods and I don't even think Molly Mcbutter is made anymore, but for those who don't mind the shortcuts and can figure out how to replace the flavor of the butter substitute.
So many “convenience” foods used, and ingredients not available in Canada. It’s a good thing this was a library book. I didn’t bother going any further than the first section before returning it. If you’re ok with lots of prepackaged ingredients, and if you can find them, this would be great for you. I don’t use many prepackaged foods.
