“Sue Radd stands out in the dietetic profession. This book provides excellent no-nonsense guidance for those wanting to learn more about how their diet is connected with a range of health conditions that are of concern to many Australians, and many around the world. Her emphasis on wholegrain food choices, legumes, nuts, seeds, olive oil and, of course, fruit and vegetables is very much aligned with my own food philosophy, the evidence-based literature, and what I teach my students and clients.” —Associate Professor Sara Grafenauer, Discipline Lead, Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Innovation, Faculty of Medicine and Health, University of New South Wales

Taking a ‘culinary nutrition’ approach, the book provides many easy-to-prepare and diabetes-friendly recipes that are tasty, healthy and focused on plant-based ingredients. I love that the nutritional information is available for each recipe, and the colour photos make it easy to see the end result you’re going for. ” —Associate Professor Dianne Reidlinger, Culinary Nutrition Researcher and Lead for Teaching Kitchen, Master of Nutrition and Dietetic Practice, Bond University
