From the Authors: Between us we have lived with diabetes for more than thirty years. In this cookbook we share some of our favorite recipes, which can be the basis of a vegetarian meal plan or, as they are to us, a good way to cut down on the saturated fats found in animal protein. Enjoy!

"Psychologist Bonnie Sanders Polin and food consultant Frances Towner Giedt worked with the staff of Boston's Joslin Diabetes Center to produce The Joslin Diabetes Healthy Carbohydrate Cookbook. They show that it is possible to follow a low-fat and high-carbohydrate diet and maintain proper nutrition for a healthy active life. Their 175 recipes among them, Japanese Seaweed Salad, Bean and Pasta Soup, Curried Couscous with Walnuts, and Chocolate Mousse are all part of the three-week plan of menus." - Publisher's Weekly In response to a major movement in diabetes treatment, recipes low in animal protein and saturated fat that give you the nutrition you need to stay healthy and energetic
