Since being diagnosed with the pre-diabetic condition Syndrome X, Antony Worrall Thompson has done more than any other chef to reinvent the way we eat while managing glucose levels and maintaining a healthy weight. From Sweet and Sour Prawns to Spicy Lamb Tagine, the 200 recipes here demonstrate just how much world cuisines have to offer the diabetic. And although Western eating habits aren't always easy to adapt to diabetic requirements, he shows it is still possible to enjoy a traditional Sunday roast or an indulgent dessert. Each recipe has been analyzed by a dietician and is accompanied by at-a-glance nutritional information, making it easier to manage your condition and at the same time expand your culinary horizons. So whether you have diabetes, or live with someone who does, this is the book for food lovers who know that healthy food should also mean delicious food.
