I got this from the library to get ideas for what to eat for dinner with my gestational diabetes. I loved the three dishes I cooked and found that the nutritional information and use of “carb choices” (the unit used in diet plans by dietitians and the American Diabetes Association) to be very helpful. I have weirder rules about when I can have sweets, so some of the breakfast choices would be off limits to me but I think I’ll still use this in the future to hopefully stave off a possible later type 2 diagnosis!!

Lowering simple starches & sugars, increasing fibre and balancing sodium while maintaining flavour are always concerns in my kitchen. This cookbook has quite a few interesting recipes and I always love how America's Test Kitchen explains what they are attempting achieve with the ingredients and details the appropriate techniques.
Recipes to Try:
- Warm farro with mushrooms and thyme
- Dal / Spiced red lentils
- Orecchiette with broccoli rabe and sausage
- Rigatoni with turkey ragu (decent recipe but a tad bland - was pretty good with added hot sauce!)
- Asian chicken lettuce wraps
- Spaghetti squash with garlic and parmesan
- Carrot snack cake (might try as muffins!)
