The Diabetic Pastry Chef is a wonderful cookbook with more than just recipes. Stacey gives standard and metric conversions, lots of easy to read and easy to understand information about diabetes and food, descriptions of the various kinds of flour, how to use sugars and substitutes, and wonderful hints and tips for spices, various substitutes, and nutrition.

The recipes themselves are sorted into 8 categories, like Tea Breads, Cakes, Puddings, Breakfast, etc. They are clear and easy to understand, and at the bottom of each is a Nutrition Facts graph like on the back of most food, with all the information about what you’re eating.

Here is a photo of one of the pages: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_-sER6e5xCaQ/S2ojaEwxNFI/AAAAAAAAB-g/R7hfLIrb6nQ/s1600-h/DSCN0167%5B3%5D.jpg

The only complaint I have for this book is that there are no photos of any of the pastries. I like a book with photos… however. the pages are not glossy and have wide margins, so they’re the kind you can easily make notes and write on with no problem.

Overall I recommend this book to anyone who loves desserts but needs to watch their blood sugar, or even to those who want to watch their weight.

I kind of knew what I was getting myself into when I started this one, but perhaps I didn't realize just to what extent. Sure, it's long, but that's not a problem for me. Sure, the subject matter is pretty dry, but it seemed like it would be an important enough work to make up for it. And it is a very important book. The history of the distribution of wealth in the civilized world, based on the most complete and accurate information available, is a matter that should concern us all, especially if we want to make sure it is handled fairly going forward. And the last 50% or so of the book (at which point it really dives into all that) is fascinating, raises some provocative points, and has some sensible solutions for the future. A star has been taken off however, because everything preceding that is largely spent explaining how the information was obtained and repeatedly explaining mathematical formulas, both of which are kind of a slog to get through, and contributed greatly to just how long it took me to get through this book. I am glad I read it though, and if nothing else, I do feel a bit smarter for having done so.

Saving Jasmine (Satan's Bears #1) by Rose Nickol
Saving Jasmine is the first book in the Satan's Bears series, and we are quickly thrown into the story. Maisy is twenty-four years old, responsible for her younger sister, Jasmine. Maisy is the one on the straight and narrow, Jasmine, the wild child. However, Maisy will work in a biker bar to get information on where her sister is. Stud in the leader of the bikers, and quickly claims Maisy for his own.

This was a very rough and ready story, almost raw in its execution. Although you get some information about the various groups, you don't get a lot, and that did leave me feeling like I had missed out. I found the characters to be rather weak and one dimensional, especially Stud. However, Maisy seemed happy with him, so I guess that's something.

This was a fast-paced story, so be prepared. If you are looking for a 'down and dirty' read, then this book may be just what you are looking for.

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book, and the comments here are my honest opinion. *
