Purchase options and add-ons

While fancy and sophisticated foods continue to grow in popularity, ask most people what their favorite foods are and the answer will invariably be classic comfort foods: lasagna, meat loaf, mac and cheese, and cake. Unfortunately, most people think that having diabetes means the days of enjoying these hearty classics are long gone, and that their favorite foods are a thing of the past. Author Robyn Webb shows that healthy eating doesn't have to mean giving up on favorite foods! Diabetes can be overwhelming, but it doesn't mean reinventing the wheel when it comes to cooking. Just a tweak here and there and familiar foods can remain favorites, guilt-free, and enjoyed every day.

The American Diabetes Association Diabetes Comfort Food Cookbook creates a “go-to” collection of updated comfort foods for families that need to cook nutritionally sound and diabetic-friendly meals that will satisfy and soothe the souls of the member (or members) of the family with diabetes—and do the same for the rest of the family. No need to cook two meals to please everyone in the household. Now everyone can enjoy the same hearty and nutritious meals. This book will ease the stress of planning meals by offering easy and flavorful recipes and a menu planning guide that allows for mix and match meals that will keep everyone in the family happy, healthy, and satisfied.

Filled with gorgeous original photography and a beautiful four-color design, this cookbook will look as good as it's meals. Sprinkled with helpful tips and time-saving advice,
The American Diabetes Association Comfort Food Cookbook will not only make classic comfort foods healthier and diabetes friendly, it will make them a snap to prepare as well.

Following a diabetic meal plan doesn't have to be a flavorless chore. Now everyone can enjoy the classic foods they know and love!

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Robyn Webb’s Diabetes Comfort Food Cookbook is as good as it gets! Robyn’s clear and creative recipes and obvious passion and reverence for the quality and source of ingredients are the perfect medicine for people with diabetes and their families.”
—Michel Nuschan, owner and founder of Dressing Room, his homegrown restaurant in Westport, CT and CEO and president of Wholesome Wave Foundation.

“What a beautiful, compelling book! The recipes are at once simple, sensual, and customized for people with diabetes. Robyn’s overall comfort food message reassures that one’s diet needn’t compromise on pleasure when skewing healthy. Good food can do us a world of good, and can taste great in the process. Robyn makes this very clear.”
—Mollie Katzen, author of
Moosewood Cookbook

“After drooling over the beautiful food photography, I found myself wish that the
Diabetes Comfort Food Cookbook was a scratch and sniff cookbook. Robyn Webb has single-handedly changed the stigma of the diabetic diet from one of deprivation to celebration! Brava, Robyn!”
—David Grotto, RD, LDN, author of

Praise for Robyn Webb's latest cookbook, The Perfect Diabetes Comfort Food Collection:

Robyn clearly understands that having diabetes doesn’t mean the end of good eating. As a diabetes educator, I love The Perfect Diabetes Comfort Food Collection. It’s not just pages of complicated recipes, it’s a system of meal planning chock full of easy recipes, paired with 1-3 suggested sides to make the perfect meal. And if you’re a novice in the kitchen Robyn's taken care of that too. She gives tips for buying equipment, stocking your pantry and teaches techniques to ensure each recipe is a culinary delight.

Constance Brown-Riggs, MSEd, RD, CDE, CDN, author of The African American Guide to Living Well with Diabetes

Robyn is a gifted cook and teacher. She makes preparing healthy meals effortless, delicious and attainable even for the busiest of families.This gorgeous book is filled with mouth watering diabetes friendly recipes. It is a must have must have for anyone who wants to improve their health and look like a culinary rockstar.

Dawn Lerman is a top Manhattan nutritionist, contributor to the Well blog of the NY Times and the author of the best selling book "My Fat Dad: A Memoir of Food, Love and Family, With Recipes.

Robyn Webb’s latest cookbook, “The Perfect Diabetes Comfort Food Collection is a must have for anyone who has diabetes. Each nutritious recipe is easy to prepare and absolutely delicious! As a registered dietitian –nutritionist and certified diabetes educator, I am constantly searching for healthy and diabetes-friendly recipes for my patients. This book is superior to other cookbooks because of the simplicity of flavorful recipes. Robyn recipes are masterfully crafted to ensure a perfect outcome. “The Perfect Comfort (insert name here) cookbook offers recipe suggestions for ANYONE who wants to eat delicious food while managing blood sugar levels. Robyn guides us through the recipes while taking the guess work out of meal preparation. Whether you are newly diagnosed with diabetes, or are experienced with diabetes meal planning, this book will provide you with delicious recipes for you and your entire family. THANK YOU Robyn for creating recipes that are delicious, nutritious and easy to prepare for people with diabetes and their families. Susan Weiner, MS RDN CDE CDN

For those with diabetes, or for that matter, health conscious people everywhere, Robyn Webb's Perfect Comfort Food Collection offers myriad great tasting, yet simple, creative meals that reflect how real people cook. The collection is a godsend and sure to become a go-to classic in homes everywhere. - Nathalie Dupree-cookbook author and television host

Author Robyn Webb really hits it out of the park with her latest book The Perfect Diabetes Comfort Food Collection. Her book approaches cooking in a simple, yet effective way by first breaking down and concentrating on a few cooking techniques, such as roasting and grilling. She then continues to describe a few core kitchen ingredients that she cross utilizes in many of her recipes. What I really adore about this book is how it focuses on popular food items, such as burgers, chicken breast, and meatloaf, and how to master the classic styles of each food. After giving you the ‘classic’ versions, Robyn then gets creative by making different variations to fit each person’s personal taste. As a registered dietitian and someone that loves food, I would recommend this book to anyone because it takes comfort food to a new level with its variety and craftiness, which is only surpassed by the fact that it focuses on diabetic eating principles. Robyn dispels the myths behind diabetic diets and shows how simple eating a whole foods diet really is. Get ready to take your taste buds on a flavor packed roller coaster ride.

    Our son was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. When this book arrived he began thumbing through it and was very excited to see many of his favorite meals included, classic Hummus, Creamy Deviled Eggs, Everyday Taco Salad, Roast Chicken, Chicken (sloppy) Joes, Mac 'n' Cheese, Chicken Cacciatore, Grilled Pork and Cheese Quesadilla, Indian Lamb Curry, Classic Free Form Meatloaf, Double Chocolate Brownies, & Old Fashion Peanut Butter Cookies.
    Most of the ingredients are typical pantry items with a few new items that ought to be in a diabetics pantry. There are many "extras" in brown boxes through out the book like, Fast fixes for Rice, A Little Chocolate Goes a Long Way, How to Saute the Right way.
    This book helps us know that we can learn to adapt our usual recipes, eat flavorful meals, help him, and us, eat right. Excited to start trying them.

    Everything that you could possibly want in assisting you to provide healthy, nutrition rich comfort foods for pre-diabetic and diabetic diners can be found in Robyn Webb's THE DIABETES COMFORT FOOD COOKBOOK is here. Eye-catching photos of palate satisfying food recipes are organized into categories such as sides and salads, soups and stews, one pot and skillet meals, plus tasty pastas and, of course, desserts, are here with detailed instructions for preparing such foods. Exchange choices and the calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrate, fiber, sugar, and protein content are listed for each recipe at the bottom of that recipe. I really like roasted vegetables so enjoyed the roasted potatoes, carrots, and parsnips recipe, not to mention the braised cabbage and apples recipe. If you indulge in a favorite like mac and cheese, you'll enjoy the version presented here. Read, cook, and find out for yourself just how delectable these recipes are. Savor the trip in preparation as well as the end product. Amazon is amazing in offering this book online and so easy to purchase. Thank you Amazon for bringing this book to my door. Z. Smith

    I have made several of the recipes - some more once. The recipes I've tried so far are tasty, fairly easy to make and don't leave one feeling like they are settling for a healthy, but less tasty, dish. In short - I don't feel cheated! I am adding these recipes to dishes I make regularly. No one eating any of these recipes were even aware that they were geared to a health specific diet.
    I really like all the information regarding the carbohydrate, fat and protein content - including sodium and fiber. I don't care about exchanges but I suppose it's important to some.
    Really like this cook book and will recommend it to anyone looking to change their diet.

    Although the recipes in this book are pretty tasty-sounding and interesting, I didn't realize that the book was written in 2011. The recipes use a lot of ingredients that are just not as healthy as they could be. I'm mainly talking about the use of non-whole products like fat free and low-fat ingredients. When those fats are removed they're replaced by processed unhealthy ingredients. I think from what I've experienced with today's whole food nutrition theories, there's better choices.

    I was so happy to finally find a diabetic cookbook where the recipes are not only delicious but also enjoyable for the whole family. My husband eats mostly vegetarian, and my daughter is the world's pickiest eater. They both love anything I have made from this book. If I had any quibbles, it would be that the recipes take awhile to prepare so it is sometimes a challenge on a weeknight to get food on the table in a reasonable amount of time. But it is easy to make some things ahead of time and combine everything later. This is a book for how America likes to eat - I no longer feel as if I'm depriving myself of food that normal people get to eat!

    The ADA Comfort Food Cookbook really lives up to it's name. So many recipes to try, and they all looked so good I didn't know where to start. so I started with the first recipe, (really good, and we both loved the wanton bundles). Since then I have tried several other recipes and they have all been delicious and easy to cook. Real comfort food that fiuts into our diabetic diets. i would recommend this cookbook to anyone, whether they have diabetes or not. It is good for the whole family, and the kids will love lots of the recipes.

    I had to buy a cookbook that I actually would use for comfort food while I was pregnant. I have Type 2 diabetes, and I was instructed that I couldn't gain more than 10 pounds during my whole pregnancy, and that I would have to work especially hard to keep my sugars low. I did it! It was hard, but being able to eat comfort food that didn't shoot me over my goal sugars, was wonderful. It's an easy to use book, and I love cookbooks, so it wasn't so hard to immerse myself in it. User friendly, and pregnancy friendly.
