The Mediterranean Diabetes Cookbook, 2nd Edition by Amy Riolo

Nearly all long-term studies on diet and nutrition agree—the Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest diets in the world. If you're managing diabetes, it may be the perfect eating pattern. Indeed, for the first time ever, USNEWS and World Report magazine has ranked the Mediterranean Diet as the Best Diet Overall, and the Consensus Report by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Management of Hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes, 2019, cites evidence that the Mediterranean Diet is an effective component of diabetes lifestyle management. Now updated and expanded with dozens of new recipes, this ultimate guide to Mediterranean cooking is perfect for anyone looking to eat well. In the first edition of this award-winning guide to Mediterranean cooking for diabetes, culinary expert Amy Riolo took readers and home cooks on a journey through the flavors of Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Egypt, where the traditional cuisine and lifestyle have kept generations heart healthy and fit. In this comprehensive update, she brings dozens of new recipes, tips from local cooks, and the latest in nutrition science to create a guide to cooking and eating for diabetes that's bursting with flavor and based on fresh ingredients and simple cooking methods. No artificial ingredients, no unrealistic portions, and no compromises. Inside you'll find classic and new favorites, such as: Potato-Artichoke Torte Whole-Wheat Focaccia Valencian Seafood Paella Greek Chicken Souvlaki Strawberry Mascarpone Parfaits Much more! Imagine cooking without sacrificing taste, using healthful, fresh ingredients. Leave behind the tired, watered-down diabetes recipes crowding out taste in your other cookbooks and regain the joys of eating.

"Amy Riolo’s The Mediterranean Diabetes Cookbook defies..expectations found in other diabetes cookbooks. [The cookbook] is for anyone interested in the way of Mediterranean cooking and eating." – DiabetesDaily.com

Starred Review. Food historian, cooking instructor and author Riolo (Arabian Delights) offers over 200 recipes for diabetics in this easy-to-use guide to Mediterranean cuisine. Organized by course (small plates, first courses, side, salads, etc,), Riolo's collection offers dozens of palate-expanding, flavor-packed dishes that will appeal to diabetics and their families, including a hearty chicken, tomato and pepper stew, Braised Fennel with Orange Sauce, and a bright Orzo with Lemon, Artichokes and Asparagus salad. A Turkish riff on chicken salad incorporating ground walnuts, garlic and paprika offers a tasty diversion, and chicken kabobs marinated in tahini, lemon juice and garlic, and served with a raspberry mustard sauce, is perfect for grilling season. Vegetarians will appreciate Riolo's 70-plus vegan dishes, like a Vegetarian Cassoulet, Spicy Tunisian Chickpea Stew, and Lebanese Eggplant with Yogurt, Tahini and Pine Nuts, a silky, protein-packed alternative to mashed potatoes. Each recipe contains exchange and nutritional information, and cooks will be pleased with an index of main ingredients. Though diners and diabetics already familiar with Mediterranean cuisine will get the most out of the book, vegans and others interested in broadening their culinary horizons will be surprised at this volume's breadth and ease of use.
