Good information, terrible recipes
I don't review much at all here but am compelled to leave a review for this cookbook. The information and education surrounding diabetes and how to meal plan is great.
However, a good number of the recipes are terrible.
This morning, I attempted to make their golden potato pancakes. As instructed, I turned on the oven as the description tells me they are baked, not fried in a skillet with oil. By step 5, I'm using Pam to fry them for 5-7 minutes and then flipping. In the skillet. I guess I was supposed to use the oven for ... nothing. That's right. Not baked. And with no binder at all, all I really made was shredded grilled hash browns seasoned with thyme, salt, pepper and a dash of olive oil.
I won't talk about the terrible things they ask you do to salmon fillets! Or the creamy Mac and cheese that was nutmeg overload.
I made 12 dishes from the book this week. I can think of one that I'd make again.
