NOTE [10/26/25]: When I was down at Mary Ann’s in Hubert day before yesterday, I was walking in with her and as I walked behind her in her laundry room, I looked down and partially hidden was this book. I stopped and picked it up. It had one of those familiar price tags stuck to the front of the book. I held it up and asked her if I had given her this book. She said she had given it to me and sometime later I had brought it back and given it to her. I said, “Well, I just bought it and it’s a good book. I did have about 5 different books written about diabetes & diabetic cooking and I think I gave away several. I didn’t recall having this book and apparently at the time, I wasn’t interested enough to even keep it. *Things change. Ha!
It’s currently in my car because I took it with me on the short trip to Asheville last week. From what I’ve see perusing it, I might think this and Magic Foods were two essential books for a new “type 2 diabetic” to read to start to get a handle on how to approach controlling their blood sugar. [end NOTE]
It looks impressive and I got it as a free book, on eBay when you order 3. The other three were copies of the “Magic Foods for Better Blood Sugar” book that I like and think would be perfect for a person recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
I know “Magic Foods” is colorful, well illustrated and easy to understand, and from reading the excerpts to “the Ultimate Diabetes Cookbook” on Amazon, it fits all three of these also. One of the things I want in a cookbook is to have a picture of the finished product that looks like something I would want to fix and eat. I don’t care how wonderful the printed recipe is, if there is no image to back it up.
