This is a new, 5th edition of a best-selling cookbook - 70,000 copies sold of the 4th edition alone and nearly 250,000 sold in the book's lifetime. This book is complete with the latest nutritive information from the American Diabetes Association, including the most recent food exchange lists, greatly expanded nutritive tables, and concise information on saturated fat, fiber, and cholesterol. In addition, readers will benefit from meal-planning tips and advice on canning and freezing, making this book an essential part of any diabetic's kitchen. A new chapter on preparing your own mixes will allow diabetics to quickly and easily bake up a batch of cupcakes, cookies, cakes, or bread. Mixes can be prepared ahead of time and stored in airtight containers, much like many of the commercial, boxed mixes available on the supermarket shelves, except that these are good for the diabetic person or those watching their cholesterol intake. Additional information on customizing the recipes and adapting them to serve both small gatherings and large groups.
