Author: Linda Gassenheimer

Take the planning out of diabetic cooking with recipes that are lower in fat, sodium, and cholesterol

Mix ‘n’ Match Meals in Minutes takes the work out of cooking and makes healthy eating delicious and simple. Designed to be easy to use, the second edition of this book is divided into three sections—breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It also includes a week-at-a-glance meal plan that lets people with diabetes like you, mix and match recipes to meet their changing tastes.

Each recipe in this blockbuster cookbook includes a shopping list, a menu, substitutions, and a countdown to help you get all your dishes onto the table at the same time. Finally, people with diabetes don’t need to plan—you just need to shop, stir, and serve!

Gassenheimer, author of many diet and weight-loss cookbooks, organizes this one into the three main meals of the day and also includes a section on "Speed Meals." The recipes are simple, and most have a list of ingredients needed as well as nutritional information. This book doesn't veer far from basic American standards and is definitely not for the diabetic gourmand. It offers weeknight meals that are quick to make and easily adaptable depending on your family's size. The breakfast sandwich section is a unique element to the book's more standard offerings, and the Spicy Grilled Cheese and Tomato Sandwich is a surefire way to diversify your morning meals. One major drawback is the lack of dessert recipes. Overall, this is a good basic cookbook that all public libraries should have for their diabetic clients.
