Decent recipe books?

[CIarebear]

Could anyone reccomend some good cook books for diabetes? Everything Ive seen at book shops has been full of fancy stuff, Im just after some simple bog standard recipes! Dont mind if its just general diabetes friendly or low carb, anything will do.

Hi @ClareBearJ , Have a look here, https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/recipes . I print off recipes I fancy and put them in plastic wallets in a ring binder. Got quite a collection now, from this source and others.

Hi, any book by Danielle Walker. The Whole 30 book has a few decent recipes in too. Not all are low carb however none of carbier options spike my BG due to low GI.

I've found with a lot of recipes they sometimes sound or look a lot more complex than they actually are! Once you start making them it's normally worth spending the extra time for a delicious dish

I just grab some protein that I have precooked and frozen in my meal size. I defrost it in cold water and decide what I want to do with it. Things like chicke, turkey, cold lamb or steak I'll either chop and put on a salad with avocado chunks, olive oil and some herbs. Or I'll mix it with mayo and put on a leuuce wrap. Or hear some broth, steam some veggies and throw it in with some herbs for fast soup. Or make a stir fry with chopped veggies

I used to love to cook but keep things very simple and uncomplicated now. Precooking proteins and freezing works very well for me. Less time in the kitchen and loads of options daily for whatever I fancy.

I got myself a soup maker, just shove a load of good low carb veggies in and boom - 20 minutes later soup where there are no hidden ingredients ! Godsend!

What's a soup maker? A slow cooker?

No it's just for making soup ! You put all the ingredients in (not raw meats!) and it turns it into soup ! Magic!

Agree with checking out Dietdoctor.com for recipes and information.
Another source is Martina Slajerova's KetoDiet blog. She has a recipe section on her blog. She also writes books.
Pinterest has tons of recipes to look up and save.
Books by Maria Emmerich, can't recall her blog site.
