Ok

This book has quickly been renamed "my diabetes bible" :) So when my hubby was diagnosed, I immediately turned to the Hairy Bikers. I've always been a fan so this seemed natural. The recipes are easy and straight forward and don't require god knows how many different ingredients. I recognise some recipes that have been adapted from their previous recipes. 1. Loved the granola, very easy to make and even the kids eat it (photo inc) 2. Veg fritatta was lovely, such amazing colour, and tasty (photo inc) 3. Buckwheat pancakes were OK, mushroom topping was nice which I now make and put on top of wholemeal toast. 4. Cornbeef hash, amazing! Absolutely loved this :) (photo inc) 5. Pea, lettuce and asparagus soup, really nice, mellow. (Photo inc, set table for lunch) 6. Courgette, mint and lemon soup, sounds weird, smells weird, tastes amazing! Photo inc, bright green) 7. Scotch broth, loved it! I used lamb mince which I shredded then chopped up a bit more (photo inc) 8. Summery green slaw, change 1 cabbage for half a cabbage else you'll be eating it all week! (Photo inc) 9. Aubergine bake, disgusting. Suppose if you like aubergines tho, it'll be ok for you. 10. Ĺatin american shepherd's pie, really nice. If you can't get butter beans, use white kidney beans (photo inc) 11. Mediterranean fish casserole, I don't like fish but this was amazing! I used white basa, mostly because it was cheaper, but worked very well (photo inc) 12. Fish crumble, really nice. But I'd recommend some finely chopped steam leaks and broccoli, sprinkled over the fish and sauce before adding the topping (photo inc) 13. Instant banana ice cream, looked nothing like ice cream, more like a thick smoothie. I joked that a shot of rum would make it a lovely summer drink on a cool evening :) 14. Crunchy oat cookies, very nice. Nice little treat for the hubby, and the kids like them too (photo inc).

Great menus, tried 3 already and they are very good, I would highly recommend for type 2 diabetic beginner, wish I had this a year ago

I got this due to health issues. Was hoping for a lot more pictures as to what the food looks like. Totally dissappointed with the lack of pictures. Yes there are some., But with 80 recipies I'd expecty 80 pictures. Instead only got a 50-ish. Also hoping for more information as in the Carb content etc. Each recipie only says " Calories " I do like the Meal planner at the back. That helps. The paper the book is made from even feels cheap. It's not the book I was expecting as I have 100's of cook books including a few from The Hairy Bikers. This 1 just seems a bit of a let down with quality. Giving it 4-5 due to the poor paper used.

well written easy to understand. Great recipes

If I could rate this book with a zero i would have done so. As a type 2 diabetic I am always looking for healthy low carb, low sugar recipes. The first three random recipes I looked at failed to be healthy for diabetics. The first used regular white flour which is a definite no no. The other two were loaded with carbs. Eating this way would likely put a diabetic in the hospital. Do NOT purchase this book if you're looking for recipes to keep your blood sugar in an appropriate range.

Tasty recipes so easy to make

Great recipes, and well written. as I single diabetic thought I found that there are to many side ingredients which I would take years to use and be out of date. I need much more experience. I did expect something more simpler

This book is well written and useful.
