Pat, the 2 books I have: RAW The UNcookbook by Juliano. Juliano is

writing another cookbook, due out around December. I don't know

that his book will be for a particular disease. He just mentioned

to me how important raw is than cooked and that he didn't see why a

diabetic couldn't everything, maybe less dates, depending what the

dish is.

 

The Raw Food Gourmet by Nomi Shannon. Here's the wonderful beet

dish from this book:

 

ORANGE BEETS

 

3 c grated beets

Juice & grated rind of 1 orange

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

pinch sea salt

 

Here is aquick way to dress up beets for a side dish. It only

takes a few minutes to make this grated dish, and the benefits of

beets are worth farm more than time taken to prepare them. This

recipe is fun to serve in orange cups.

 

In a small bowl combine the beets, jujice, rind, maple syrup, oil

and salt. Toss together. Let the flavors blend for a few minutes

before serving. Serves 6.

 

My comments: I did not use salt. This tastes soooo refreshing.

 

Re diabetes..we are not part of a group. I bought Dr. Neal

Barnard's book on Reversing Diabetes without medication. I called

the phone number on his website for some information and am so glad

I did. That led me to discover pcrm.org. They have wonderful

information there, plus a group to ask questions within...one of the

staff from pcrm helps you with questions about foods, packaged

foods, diet, etc.

 

From there this morning I discovered godairyfree.com and from there

a few vegan cookbooks that should help in correcting my husband's

diabetic numbers.

 

I may write to Juliano and tell him as he's writing his book, keep

in mind we don't like cookbooks where you have to jump from page to

page to incorporate this recipe or that recipe into another recipe.

 

Thanks for the info about the diabetic veg chat (what exactly is the

url #?)
