About this title

From the Publisher

From Susan Schwartz, Publisher, Surrey Books... When I found out that the incidence of diabetes in the U.S. had reached epidemic proportions, I made up my mind to make a contribution toward bringing those numbers down. After consulting with Dr. Louis Philipson at the University of Chicago, and Certified Diabetes Educator Linda Eugene, I learned that most people with type 2, and a significant number of folks with type 1 diabetes, can enjoy a wide range of satisfying and truly delicious meals if they stick to a low fat, low carbo diet. The docs and C.D.E's say "stay in control," but it's really difficult when faced with a complex recipe or a chocolate hot fudge marshmallow sundae. Sue Spitler, the editor of our "1,001" series, worked with Certified Diabetes Educator Linda Eugene to develop and test hundreds and hundreds of easy-to-make recipes for truly wonderful dishes, including the gooey, sweet-tasting desserts you think you'll never be able to eat again. Sue knows that most people are not skilled chefs, and don't have an extra minute to spare in their busy, task-filled days, so she included a chapter of 45-minutes entrees -- great for family meals and impromptu entertaining. As with all our titles for people on restricted diets, the type used in this book is larger than usual, as is the leading (the space between the lines), so reading the recipes won't be a challenge.

From the Author

“With an astounding 61 percent of the population overweight, America is in the midst of a national health crisis,” says Linda Eugene, a certified diabetes educator, and co-editor of the new cookbook "1,001 Delicious Recipes for People with Diabetes" (Surrey Books, $19.95).

“With the increase in obesity comes a really striking increase in numbers for type II [non-insulin dependent] diabetes – up nearly 40 percent in the past decade.”

The key to controlling type II diabetes, and even preventing its onset, is maintaining a healthy diet and engaging in moderate exercise – living the way we did before the advent of fast food and fast cars. “Walk, ride a bike, do a little gardening, clean your house – it adds up to the daily exercise you need,” says Eugene. “And stay away from fatty foods and large portions.”

But fat is what makes food taste good, and we all love those zesty pastas and rich, gooey desserts. “For a person with diabetes and no healthy cooking experience, the larder may look a little lean,” says co-editor and professional cook Sue Spitler, whose other books in the 1,001 series are bestsellers. “It’s important to choose foods that are low fat, moderate in carbohydrate, low salt, high fiber, and rich in vitamins and minerals. The key is the recipe...you need to cook with enough flavor to make you feel satisfied.”

Amazingly, they’ve managed to get all that healthy stuff into a recipe for chocolate cheesecake.
