1,001 Delicious Desserts for People with Diabetes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think the review by Kathy Anderson, who claimed that the recipes in this book have too many carbohydrates, is unfair and inaccurate. The lengthy, informative, and detailed introduction by Linda Eugene, RD, CDE, explains that "Most of the recipes do not exceed 40 grams of total carbohydrate per serving." Moreover, she discusses at length how diabetics must take a balanced and comprehensive approach to their diet, and taking a splurge on a dessert is always going to require an adjustment elsewhere in one's food intake. Last, she is very oncrete on one crucial point: "The key to including desserts in any meal plan is to focus on portion sizes.... The aim of this book is to offer dessert recipes that taste great. Serving sizes may be smaller, but your sweet tooth will be more satisfied with a small slice of something moist, creamy, and delicious that with a large slice of something dry, bitter, and tasteless." This is a book of desserts, after all--1,001 of them. I haven't made every recipe in this book, but I can vouch for the amazing variety of great recipes here--and for the fact that if you follow the book's directions regarding ingredients, meal planning, and portion control, this book can be a great complement to any diabetes-safe kitchen. Be smart, and enjoy.

470 Crock Pot Recipes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This cookbook is great for someone who uses a lot of pantry items to prepare meals.Canned soups are a staple in many of the recipes. I am not much of a pantry cook myself, so I would skip over many of these recipes.There are some really creative dessert recipes that I'll try.

It didn't bother me that the book lacked a useable table of contents.I read the book from beginning to end and could bookmark any recipe I liked for faster reference.There are however, many exact duplicate recipes in the book.

There also seems to be about 15 different Kindle versions of the same cookbook, ranging in price from 99 cents to $19.95. I only paid 99 cents, so though I only pulled a couple of recipes I liked, it was worth it.

Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Entertaining Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was in the typical - meat, can of soup - maybe some wine, veggies ..mode of crockpot cooking. The food usually came out 'ok', but not rave material.
I was amazed at the variations offered in this book. It's just like cooking a gourmet meal, but p.s. you put it in the crockpot. And trust me - you won't use the recipes just for entertaining - they are too good not to use everyday.
The recipes were so inspiring, I even justified splurging on a new crockpot.

A Potful of Recipes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After my husband had a heart attack four months ago, it became my job to redirect our family eating habits. Because I knew I had to have good tasting food for this to succeed, I began the hunt for new recipes. During the "education" phase of my husband's cardiac rehab program, we were introduced to the cookbooks of Joanna Lund. I noticed the ingredients were ones I already had in my kitchen. The finished products were facsimilies of things we already liked. I bought the book - tried a few things and when I saw my husband look for seconds - I KNEW this was one of the best buys I had made in four months! Each menu is broken down by calories, fat grams, proteins etc as well as diabetic substitutes. Strongly recommend.

Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker: 200 Recipes for Healthy and Hearty One-Pot Meals That Are Ready When You Are Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Vegan Planet and The Vegetarian Meat and Potatoes Cookbook are two of my all time favorite cookbooks.I can always count on their easy to follow recipes to produce delicious results.Now, Robin Robertson does it again!I am enjoying my Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker cookbook very much.I just got it a week ago and I have already made Seitan Cacciatore, Spicy Black Bean Chili and Old Fashioned Vegetable Soup.
I went out and bought a lovely Rival Oval Programmable Stainless Steel 5.5 Quart Crock Pot.You can exactly set the cook time in half hour intervals up to 20 hours and you can set the temperature to high, low or warm.The crock-pot automatically switches to warm mode after cooking is complete so you don't have to worry about burning.The digital countdown shows you how much time is left.The lid fits perfectly on the crock-pot and doesn't let air seep out like some cheaper models.I highly recommend this sturdy and easy to use crock-pot.
Now back to the wonderful recipes!The Seitan Cacciatore was a very easy to make a hearty stew.We loved the subtle blend of flavors and the seitan was perfectly moist.I made the Spicy Black Bean Chili in less than ten minutes.The results were fabulous, dark rich spicy black bean chili with red peppers, sweet onion and diced green jalapenos, amazing for such a mind numbingly simple recipe.I am eating the Old Fashioned Vegetable Soup as I type.This soup is so wholesome and tender it simply melts in your mouth.
I am a busy vegan who absolutely loves to cook and this cookbook is a lifesaver.No longer will I have to rush home to cook, stopping at a busy grocery store on the way.Instead, I figure out what I want to make in the evening, go to the grocery store after dinner when it is not crowded at all and assemble the ingredients at my leisure.I pop the crock in the fridge until bedtime. I don't want to leave the cooker on when I am not at home, so I just turn it on before bed and when I wake up transfer the wonderful results to the fridge.They have all day to sit and get delicious (most stews are better if given time to rest) and then I reheat when I get home in the evening.It has worked out very easily and the recipes are mouthwatering.Now I can relax while cooking on busy weeknights and I look forward to going to the store rather then rushing.I think crock-pot cooking is miraculous.
This cookbook is a huge bargain with 200 recipes for everything from appetizers to desserts, soups, stews, vegetables and everything in between.All of the recipes have vegan alternatives for dairy products and most are naturally dairy free.You cannot get better results both in the minimal effort, easy ingredients and outstanding results then this.Every vegan and vegetarian should give Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker by Robin Robertson a try!

Betty Crocker Come Home To Dinner: 350 Delicious Recipes For The Slow Cooker, Bread Machine, And Oven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love trying different cookbooks, but usually it's hit and miss-- a couple of good recipes, and the rest are mediocre at best.

This cookbook is full of truly delicious recipes-- some for the crockpot, some for the oven, and some for the bread machine.My favorites are the crockpot recipes which are definitely 10 steps ahead of the typical generic "meat and potatoes" recipes.It has more variety than other crockpot cookbooks (much better than "Fix It and Forget It") with international flavors instead of 30 different versions of pot roast. It doesn't have as many recipes as "Fix It and Forget It" but each one is truly unique.

I use this cookbook on a regular basis to try new and less-hassled meals.It doesn't take away the prep time, but it does allow you to work things at your own pace before the crazy dinner hours.
