Anyone with diabetes knows how important it is to eat well, but healthful food need not be dull, nor does reducing fat and calories have to mean giving up flavor. Why feel deprived when you could start the day with blueberry pancakes with blueberry maple syrup? Company coming? Everyone will enjoy a savory chutney cheese spread or queso fundito followed by pork tenderloin with gremolata. For an easy weeknight dinner, try lasagna casserole or pizza with carmelized onions and smoked turkey. Want to indulge a sweet tooth? Lemon cloud pie or white chocolate cheesecake will satisfy. The recipes in this massive book draw on the latest diabetes recommendations and make the best use of the new lower-fat ingredients available today. Each recipe is accompanied by a nutritional analysis and the most current diabetes exchange information, and the book includes timely information on exercise, carbohydrate counting, and food-exchange lists.

Based on the popular feature in the Saturday Wall Street Journal, How's Your Drink illuminates the culture of the cocktail. Cocktails are back after decades of decline, but the literature and lore of the classics has been missing. John F. Kennedy played nuclear brinksmanship with a gin and tonic in his hand. Teddy Roosevelt took the witness stand to testify that six mint juleps over the course of his presidency did not make him a drunk. Ernest Hemingway and Raymond Chandler both did their part to promote the gimlet. Fighting men mixed drinks with whatever liquor could be scavenged between barrages, raising glasses to celebrate victory and to ease the pain of defeat. Eric Felten tells all of these stories and many more, and also offers exhaustively researched cocktail recipes. How’s Your Drink is an essential addition to the literature of spirits and a fantastic holiday gift for husbands and fathers.
