About this item
While fancy and sophisticated foods continue to grow in popularity, ask most people what their favorite foods are and the answer will invariably be classic comfort foods: lasagna, meat loaf, mac and cheese, and cake. Unfortunately, most people think that having diabetes means the days of enjoying these hearty classics are long gone, and that their favorite foods are a thing of the past. Author Robyn Webb shows that healthy eating doesn't have to mean giving up on favorite foods! Diabetes can be overwhelming, but it doesn't mean reinventing the wheel when it comes to cooking. Just a tweak here and there and familiar foods can remain favorites, guilt-free, and enjoyed every day.The American Diabetes Association Diabetes Comfort Food Cookbook creates a “go-to” collection of updated comfort foods for families that need to cook nutritionally sound and diabetic-friendly meals that will satisfy and soothe the souls of the member (or members) of the family with diabetes—and do the same for the rest of the family.

Praise for Robyn Webb's latest cookbook, The Perfect Diabetes Comfort Food Collection:
Robyn clearly understands that having diabetes doesn't mean the end of good eating. As a diabetes educator, I love The Perfect Diabetes Comfort Food Collection. It's not just pages of complicated recipes, it's a system of meal planning chock full of easy recipes, paired with 1-3 suggested sides to make the perfect meal. And if you're a novice in the kitchen Robyn's taken care of that too. She gives tips for buying equipment, stocking your pantry and teaches techniques to ensure each recipe is a culinary delight.
