 Down Home Food With Less Fat/Sugar Jan 30, 2006
By Virginia Allain
"(retired librarian)"
"Authors Gaines and Weaver show the reader how much of the hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes plaguing the African-American population can be avoided by making easy changes to traditional soul food recipes without losing too much of the flavor. The basics of healthy food preparation and menu planning are incorporated with suggestions for cooking with traditional herbs and spices, along with advice for reducing fat, calories and sodium. Portion sizes are given to aid in blood sugar control and weight loss, as well as complete nutritional information and official ADA exchanges.
Now you can experience palate-pleasing soul food recipes such as Barbecue Pulled Pork, Hoppin' John, Hoe Cake, Soul Slaw, Collards with Smoked Turkey, Chicken and Dumplings, Key Lime Pie, Rice Pudding, Sweet Potato Pound Cake and more in The New Soul Food Cookbook." (review from the National Federation of the Blind website, Marilyn Helton reviewer)

An excellent book for diabetics and non-diabetics! Apr 22, 1999
This book is a great resource book for those with diabetes and for those who want to make a change toward healthier cooking and eating. The review of diabetes is clear and concise while offering interesting cooking options for preparing healthy meals. The recipes make delicious down home meals!

This is the best cookbook I have ever read for diabetics Sep 25, 1999
By naejor@aol.com
Since I have purchased the book I have seen the interest soar in many who thought they had to give up tradition in their diet. I thank God for those two authors.... they have given me something back that I missed. Thanks Roniece and Fabiola .

 Not bad but stock up on extracts Oct 22, 2001
There are some great recipes here but the one thing I found annoying was that to cut the fat and keep the taste they added lots of extracts to desserts; things I had never used before in cooking.On the other hand, I figure 5 new extracts is a small price to pay to be able to eat the foods we love while keeping a diabetic diet.

Diabetes Jan 14, 2002
This book is very helpful, because it teaches a person to cook with flavor. Most times the foods that we (diabetics) eat are so bland. This is a well written book. The exchanges are a plus.
