Angela Shelf Medearis, The Kitchen Diva, brings soul, heart and sass to her newest collection of recipes, The Kitchen Diva’s Diabetic Cookbook: 150 Healthy, Delicious Recipes for Diabetics and Those Who Dine With Them ($24.99, Andrews McMeel Publishing, April 24, 2012).
The Kitchen Diva — a regular guest on The Dr. Oz Show and the Today show — dedicates this book to helping cooks of all skill levels create fun, easy, and budget-friendly recipes that address the needs of prediabetics, people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and diabetic-related complications, women with gestational diabetes, or anyone looking to embrace a healthier lifestyle. Angela’s cooking — a new version of American comfort food and ethnic dishes — is custom-designed for diabetics and the people in their lives. Each of the seven chapters is packed with recipes that will keep families happy and healthy, kids entertained, and party guests impressed, such as Apple-Stuffed Sandwiches and Peanut Butter Bars for breakfast, Parsley-Walnut Pesto and Cinnamon-Spiced Walnuts for easy party snacks, and stunning entrees such as Calypso Coconut Shrimp Salad and Apple-Pecan Pork Chops. Each recipe includes a detailed nutritional and caloric analysis, certified by a registered dietitian.
The Kitchen Diva’s Diabetic Cookbook makes it easy for anyone to healthily feed the bodies and souls of their loved ones.
Fact: 20 million people in the United States suffer diabetes, and it’s estimated that an additional 5.5 million have the disease but are undiagnosed.
