Ultimate Diabetes Cookbook
Supported by Diabetes UK
Being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes needn’t mean an end to enjoying food. In his bestselling gluten-free cookbooks, Phil Vickery showed its possible to overcome dietary restrictions and still eat well. Now he s turned his attention to creating recipes that will help diabetics take control of their diet and lower their blood sugar levels. Organised into Breakfasts, Light Bites, Soup & Lunch, Main Meals, Sweet Things & Drinks and Sides & Dressings, the recipes are accompanied by nutritional analysis and at-a-glance traffic light labelling, as well as being arranged into Menu Plans.
With 4.5 million people in the UK are living with diabetes, with someone diagnosed every 2 minutes. It is essential to eat well, ensure a balance of foods low in sugar, saturated fat and salt, and include a high proportion of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and pulses. All the recipes in the book have been tested several times to ensure they are nutritionally sound, conform to Diabetes UK’s guidelines, and of course, taste delicious.
Organised into Breakfasts, Light Bites, Soup & Lunch, Main Meals, Sweet Things & Drinks and Sides & Dressings, the recipes include delicious dishes such as Squash, Feta & Hazelnut Salad and Roast Butterfly Chicken with Pomegranate, Lemon, Garlic & Mint, and cakes and desserts such as Banana Pinenut Cake and Easy Chocolate Mousse.
