Product Description
Legendary singer and New York Times bestselling author Patti LaBelle reveals her mouth-watering culinary secrets for eating your way to a long and healthy life. "Treat your body like a temple, not an amusement park."
This is the sage advice Patti LaBelle lives by, and in her new book she shares more than 100 original recipes for meals that are not only good for you but taste great, too. She also shares her own personal story of a lifetime of struggling with body image and tells the heartbreaking story of how she lost her mother to diabetes and learned recently that she, too, had the disease.
In her first cookbook, LaBelle Cuisine, LaBelle featured the high-style, down-home cooking she learned from the great Southern cooks in her family. But after she was diagnosed with diabetes, LaBelle had to radically change her dietary habits and food choices. With diabetic exchanges developed and approved by the American Diabetes Association and the American Dietetic Association, Patti LaBelle's Lite Cuisine is chock-full of the kind of recipes that made her earlier cookbook a bestselling sensation. Readers will love the wide array of healthful and heavenly dishes like "Awesome Oven-Fried Chicken," "Sensational Sloppy Joes," "Company's-Coming Crab Imperial," and "Luscious Lobster Salad." Delectable desserts include everything from "Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Raisin Cookies" to "Tastes-Like-Grandma-Made-It Banana Pudding."
One of America's most beloved performers once again creates her special brand of culinary magic. Her new, healthy, and delicious recipes are destined to make Patti's latest cookbook a staple in kitchens all across America.

 Great cookbook August 22, 2008
Very good "go to" cookbook. Haven't tried a bad recipe yet. You wont be disappointed with this one.
Absolutely Delicious May 10, 2008
I bought this book for a diabetic friend. I could not believe how delicious the meals were. Amazing. You do not have to sacrifice taste at all for health in this book.
 slightly dissappointed : ( March 24, 2008
The book had some great recipe ideas but I was slightly dissappointed because I was hoping to find healthy, delicious, diabetic concious ways of cooking the old fashioned soul food favorites like mac & chz, collard greens, candied yams, etc...other than the oven fried chicken, those recipes were no where to be found in this book! I saw the healthy soul food books but I wanted a name I could trust! I heard Patti could cook! So I was really looking forward to that, guess I'll have to keep searching! Overall, it's a great cook book! Just wasn't exactly what I was looking for.
Great gift December 31, 2007
My mom loves to cook this was her x-mas present from me. Thank you she loved it
 Pretty Yummy Recipes November 24, 2007
I purchased this book for my husband. He's not diabetic but we want to keep his sugars down. I thought this would be an excellent way in order to cook healthier. On that note, we've tried a few recipes and the one we liked best was the blackened catfish. Although I've changed it to a cast iron pan instead of the over. We LOVE that recipe! Great book. Needs more color pictures of the finished product.
