According to editor Webb, having diabetes isn't a prescription for eating boring food. Packed with fresh, tempting recipes (each with nutritional information such as calories, carbohydrate grams, sugar grams, etc.), this cookbook certainly supports her argument. While the recipes in this book aren't strikingly original-they could be in a dozen other healthy, spa-type cookbooks-they are varied and interesting. And though the editors tend to keep the carb and sugar counts low, they appear to be more interested in regulating portion size than in prohibiting foods. Rustic Grilled Vegetable and Rigatoni Salad is heavier on the fiber-filled vegetables than pasta, but is still hearty and comforting. Even sweet desserts, such as Vanilla Angel Food Cake and Mocha Ricotta Tiramisu, have their place in the diabetic diet. Quality information on diabetes and tips for eating healthfully with the disease, from alcohol consumption to sugar substitutes, are placed at the end, emphasizing that this is primarily a cookbook meant to enhance the quality of a diabetic's gourmet life.
