An internationally inspired cookbook for anyone managing
diabetes.
This cookbook has huge appeal for two primary markets of
high-risk individuals: 1) those from an ethnic background who want
meals that are traditional yet offer healthy alternatives; and 2)
those who are not from a specific ethnic group but seek ethnic
recipes that are healthier and diabetic-friendly.
Each enticing recipe has been specifically created for those
managing diabetes and retains the taste and appearance of
traditional ethnic dishes. These recipes have been developed by a
registered dietitian and culinary school professor, so great taste
and solid nutrition are guaranteed. The ingredients ensure a broad
range of dishes and options, and there is no use of artificial
sweeteners. Most of the recipes can be made in less than 20 minutes
and each recipe has a complete nutritional analysis as well as
handy professional tips.
Everyone can enjoy these traditional recipes, with the same
taste and look as long as they watch portions or modify certain
ingredients. For example coconut milk or oyster sauce can be added
to a favorite dish, so long as it is understood why certain amounts
were chosen for the recipe and how they affect nutrition value.
There are wonderful adaptations of dishes like Cauliflower and
Potato Curry (Alloo Gobi), Butter Chicken (Makhani Murgh), Goan
Style Pork Vindaloo, Hakka Bamboo Shoot Dumplings, Stir Fried Soy
Bean Sprout, Kung Pao Chicken, Black Bean Soup and Valencia Seafood
Paella.
Unfamiliar ingredients are defined in the Multicultural Pantry
List along with the invaluable healthy eating tips. The importance
and benefits of traditional ways of cooking in this cookbook show
that traditional foods can be enjoyed while managing diabetes at
the same time.
