HEALTHIER FOOD CHOICES WITHOUT GIVING UP FLAVOR
~ American Diabetes
Association cookbook for healthy living wins Best in
World prize ~
May 2008
Washington D.C. - How can
a diabetes cookbook win "Best in the World," when the
old stereotype for a "diabetic meal" is bland and flavorless?
The American Diabetes Association's The All-Natural
Diabetes Cookbook: The Whole Food Approach to Great
Taste and Healthy Eating, by Jackie Newgent, broke
through all the stereotypes when it won the Gourmand
Best Health and Nutrition Book in the World Award in
London, England in 2007. Created to increase knowledge
of and respect for food and wine culture, the Gourmand
World Cookbook Awards reward those who "cook with words"
and help readers find the best out of the 26,000 food
and wine books produced every year. The All-Natural
Diabetes Cookbook is a crossover book written to
appeal to people with diabetes and those who are simply
looking for ways to live a healthier life. It features
150 recipes that focus on whole foods and unprocessed
ingredients.
Many cookbooks for people
with diabetes rely on artificial sweeteners and processed
foods at the expense of great flavor. Now if you want
to make healthier choices, you don't have to give up
great tasting food. Examples of foods found in the cookbook
include: Caramelized Anjou Pear, Sage, and Gorgonzola
Quesadilla; California Avocado-Bean Salad with Salsa
Verde; Bodacious "Steak" Burger; and Sweet Potato Burrito
Spirals with Bell Pepper-Avocado "Crème" Sauce.
