If you count carbohydrate, don't buy this book... - Rated
Aha, I thought - a recipe book written by a diabetic nutritionist! What more could I want, it'll give me all the information I need! I'll tell you what more I want - recipes which give the carbohydrate value of prepared food. As a Type 1 diabetic, my entire food intake relies on accurate counting of carbohydrate. That's why I bought this book, and it gives no help whatsoever with carbohydrate values. I can use any recipe book I choose and work out the carbohydrate content for myself; it's tedious and turns cooking into an exercise in arithmetic. Similar recipes could be found in any book advocating healthy eating, ie low fat, less sugar and salt, more fresh fruit and vegetables, and wholemeal bread and pasta. I also looked at Antony Worral Thompson's 'Healthy Eating for Diabetes' and opted for this book instead. I wish I'd gone for Worral Thompson; it carries a great deal more information about food values and glycaemic index, and the recipes give carbohydrate values. So, if you count carbohydrate, be careful which books you buy...
