Editorial Reviews

10/15/2018
The editors of America’s Test Kitchen deliver another solid recipe collection in this practical and immensely helpful cookbook for those living with diabetes. With nutritional information, notes from the test kitchen (including advice on buying the perfect hunk of parmesan, how to store spices, and favorite brands of staples, such as Reese capers), this book offers diabetic-friendly recipes designed to limit refined carbohydrates, sugars, saturated fats, and sodium. Those looking to create comfort-food standbys will find more than enough possibilities. Dishes such as spinach lasagna and cheesy shrimp and grits use reduced amounts of butter and full-fat dairy as well as aromatics and healthy oils to retain richness of flavor. To accompany high-protein, low-carb choices such as steak and chicken (they suggest flouring only one side of a chicken piccata), the editors have created an array of delicious pan-sauces, such as one made with porcini mushrooms and Marsala. Whole wheat ingredients are also favored by ATK, as they pack in stabilizing fiber and proteins to such carb-heavy comfort foods as carrot cake, blueberry muffins, and pancakes. This cookbook brims with variations for hundreds of recipes, offering a solid foundation for healthier cooking. (Nov.)

Publishers Weekly

"If you’re one of the 30 million Americans with diabetes, The Complete Diabetes Cookbook, by America’s Test Kitchen belongs on your kitchen shelf." -- Parade Magazine, Dec. 2018

"There are absolutely no reasons for nondiabetics not to welcome the latest culinary advice and collection from America’s Test Kitchen, the venerable Boston-based publishing collective of 60 test cooks, editors, and cookware specialists behind Cooks Illustrated, dozens of cookbooks, and a TV show. . . . Diabetics and all health-conscious home cooks will find great information on almost every page, from pureeing soup to preparing avocados to learning everything there is to know about vinegars or eggs. Photographs enable the production of a picture-perfect dish; better yet are the completeness of the directions and helpful how-to’s.

From the Publisher

12/01/2018

This latest offering from America's Test Kitchen reengineers 400 recipes spanning breakfast, mains, meats, and seafood, as well as a small section on dessert, for the needs of home cooks with diabetes, beginning with a solid introduction to the disease along with guidelines for diabetes-friendly meals. Each recipe has a brief explanation of its benefits as well as nutritional information, including carbohydrate choices and substitutions. There's a wide range of flavors, including many appealing ethnic recipes. Several base recipes also have several suggested variations. Sidebars contribute additional information on techniques, tips, and the results of Test Kitchen tasting panels and evaluations. This resource is more ambitious in its techniques and palate than the recent The Diabetes Cookbook: 300 Recipes for Healthy Living Powered by the Diabetes Food Hub or the American Diabetes Association's Complete Month of Meals Collection, and more complete than Eat Smart Lose Weight from Diabetic Living Editors. VERDICT A great choice for anyone interested in healthy eating.—Devon Thomas, Chelsea, MI
