Many of us, at the best of times, struggle for inspiration when it comes to cooking – and that’s without a medical condition that may affect our eating habits and require careful management. The right diet is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle and all the more important for the successful management of diabetes.

Packed with over 100 delicious and easy to prepare recipes – for everyday eating and entertaining – alongside a brand new section on packing healthy lunches and picnics, this book will help make mealtimes interesting and healthy.
