Publisher's Synopsis
Here at America's Test Kitchen we have developed recipes for books focusing on many different dietary needs. Our mission this time around was no different, though perhaps more urgent given that more than 30 million Americans suffer from diabetes. Those with diabetes or those cooking for loved ones with diabetes know the hurdles that come with this diet. We believed that we could help by compiling a large and varied collection of recipes, all meticulously developed and tested to fit the diet. Lackluster flavor was not an option despite the challenges. We rigorously tested with an eye to getting great flavor while minimizing carbs, added sugar, sodium, and saturated fat. For a satisfying breakfast "hash," we swap regular spuds for sweet potatoes and pair them with crumbled turkey sausage before topping with eggs for a protein boost. For pasta that's a complete meal, we make a supercharged pesto with kale, spinach, and sunflower seeds, and mix it with whole-wheat farfalle pasta, cherry tomatoes, and sauteed chicken breast. The resulting collection of recipes will set a new bar for great flavor and results that will leave everyone at the table satisfied.
