One-Pot Diabetes Cookbook by Kathy Birkett, RDN, LD, Rockridge Press, Callisto Publlishers, 168 pages

“Everything a person with diabetes eats affects their blood glucose,

so knowing what to eat is the first step. But preparing that food requires a

strategy. One-pot meals you can make quickly using a few ingredients and

tools you already have in your kitchen is a great strategy for diabetes.”

-Kathy Birkett, Introduction, page x

One-Pot Diabetes Cookbook is filled with nine chapters beginning with the first two chapters dedicated to Living with Diabetes and Your Diabetic One-Pot Kitchen. Some of the information is simple swaps to avoid carbs and sugars, and a pantry makeover.

Those lacking vitamins A through E will find corresponding information of fruits and vegetables sources.

Diabetics usually have other factors involved with this diagnosis, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease naming a few. There are numerous beef and pork recipes including cheese and shrimp dishes normally avoided for diabetics or very limited in nature.  Concluding this cookbook is a list of resources of organizations for healthy eating and diabetes management.

Three recipes I will test, as I already prepare certain recipes with chicken or use ground turkey as substitutes (I keep the use of ground beef and pork to a minimum in my meals). The three are Balsamic Chicken with Leeks and Carrots (Skillet), Oven-Fried Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Cabbage Wedges (Sheet Pan), and Fish Packets (Sheet Pan).

The Fish Packets were delicious with the vegetables on top. I prepared this dish three times in one week! First two dishes I used Tilapia Fillets and the third time I used Flounder Fillet. This is a must try recipe. 

I recommend this cookbook for diabetics seeking new recipes and others who wish to cook on a healthier level.

I received this cookbook from Callisto Publishers in exchange for an honest review in accordance with Federal Trade Commission Guidelines.
