The Asian Flavors Diabetes Cookbook is the first book that takes the naturally healthy recipes and meals of Asian cuisine and crafts them specifically for people with diabetes. Authored by Corinne Trang, who was dubbed by The Washington Post "the Julia Child of Asian cuisine," this unique collection of recipes will be attractive to anyone with diabetes looking for a fresh approach to diabetes-friendly cooking.

With more than 125 recipes, this compilation of simple comfort foods from all over Asia will include classics such as wontons and fresh spring rolls, and more contemporary recipes like garden tomatoes and mixed greens salad tossed in an Asian-inspired dressing blending soy sauce, sesame oil, and wasabi. The recipes are nutritionally sound, with plenty of fresh vegetables and complex flavors using readily available ingredients, and they rely on healthy cooking techniques such as steaming, stir-frying, braising, and grilling.

The book will open with shopping and stocking techniques, including tips on building a basic pantry of Asian ingredients. Then readers will find recipes covering everything from soups and stews to meat and poultry. Each recipe will be broken down with easy step-by-step instructions, as well as menu ideas for serving one, two, four, or more. An added benefit will be a chapter titled “On The Go, Bento!” which shows how leftovers and ready-made sides can be quickly assembled into an on-the-go lunch.

Filled with a wide variety of vegetables, whole grains, and protein-based dishes, readers will discover countless new flavors to enjoy with their family. With meails inspired by Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian food cultures, the Asian Flavors Diabetes Cookbook will become a “go-to” book for Asian-inspired diabetes-friendly meals.

      People often have trouble following restricted diets because they eliminate appealing and engaging flavors, making foods bland. Anyone who has to jettison or radically reduce sugar soon misses the satisfaction that sweetness on the tongue offers. To offset that loss and to encourage diabetics to stick to a reduced-sugar diet, Trang delivers a book of recipes full of the pleasant and assertive flavors of Asian cuisine. Fans of popular Chinese delicacies such as pot stickers will find several tempting versions. Indian curries come vegetarian style as well as with familiar meats. Agave syrup provides sweetness in desserts, with less sugar. Only a few of the recipes require large amounts of soy sauce and similar salty ingredients, whose side effect is to ramp up sodium beyond moderate levels. An ingredient guide inventories Asian ingredients, paying particular attention to the sort of data that diabetics require. All recipes list comprehensive nutritional analyses.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
