1: Outstanding!
I've never had to cook for a diabetic until my husband was diagnosed little over a month ago. I was skeptical about the recipes whether they would be great or bland. I'm a firm believer that this book will make anyone (even those who don't need to cook for a diabetic) salivate for the recipes. They were excellent!!! All were easy to prepare and I can find most of the ingredients at my local Walmart. I highly recommend this book!

2: Great cookbook-even for non-diabetics!
After stumbling upon Jackie Newgent's "real food" (even for dieters)philosophy in a Women's Day magazine, I just had to check out her only published cookbook. I have been testing recipes from it for two weeks, and I am very impressed. I love healthy food and international cuisine, and this cookbook is a perfect fit for me. My family has absolutely loved everything I have made from this cookbook (none of us is diabetic). Chicken Scampi is restaurant quality (take Newgent's "Food Flair" tip, and add the toasted pine nuts and lemon zest-subtle and sophisticated!). The book is packed with useful information and helpful tips. It is fun for an experienced cook, but detailed enough for beginners-I am going to purchase 3 more copies for my daughters!

3: Refreshing!
I appreciate the author writing an all-natural cookbook for diabetics. It is so refreshing to see a cookbook for people with diabetes that does not use or recommend artificial sweeteners and other artificial low-fat ingredients. My husband has diabetes and it is possible to eat well with diabetes without resorting to "artificial foods". I love the tips and her wholesome approach to meal planning.

4: Awesome Cookbook!
My partner and I checked out this book from our local library, as we do with many titles, to see whether we wanted to purchase it. This great cookbook is a must-have for diabetics or for anyone who values using natural and organic foods. Simple recipes with helpful tips and notes, well-written, and affordable. Endorsed by the American Diabetes Association. We made the meatloaf last night and loved it. Thanks Jackie!

5: Diabetes Goes Natural!
This cookbook provides helpful tips on how to chose organic and natural foods. Recipes are delicious and the book includes many menus ideas. The information on portion sizes, the diabetes exchange guidelines and other nutrition facts gives consumers what they need to make healthy food choices. It includes a lot of vegetarian recipes which can be easily incorporated in a person's weekly food choices. The All-Natural Diabetes Cookbook can be a staple on the book shelf as a healthy guideline to eating more organic and natural foods in the diet. As a registered dietitian, I will recommend this book to my clients.
