Diabetic Cooking Never Tasted So Good

Leave a comment

Author Matthew W. Miller’s newly released cookbook, “Over Coming Obstacles in Diabetic Cooking” is special because it is written by someone who knows the challenges of diabetic cooking with a disability.

Fredericksburg, VA (USA), July 15th, 2015 — When you live with diabetes, you quickly realize your immediate family lives with it, too. Author Matthew W. Miller’s newly released cookbook, “Over Coming Obstacles in Diabetic Cooking” is special because it is written by someone who knows the challenges of diabetic cooking with a disability. Think you cannot manage diabetes and cook due to a disability or have never cooked before? Think again! Matthew has gathered favorite recipes from friends and family that are easy, simple, taste wonderful and user friendly.

“Having diabetes can feel overwhelming, then you layer this with a disability and cooking seems impossible. I have a disability (cerebral palsy) and I wanted to write a cookbook that makes cooking feel easy and include tips for overcoming obstacles such as exercising by walking up and down stairs or how to remember the difference between low and high blood sugar quickly,” says Matthew. “One of the best ways to help manage diabetes is to know where you can go for more information and help. This is why I included a diabetic resource list at the end of the cookbook.”

In “Over Coming Obstacles in Diabetic Cooking” (published by Halo Publishing International), Matthew shares some irresistible family recipes, all of which are kid-friendly and simple to follow. His hope is to encourage people despite having a disability that excurse and eating healthy is possible without having to join a gym or hire a dietitian.

“I wrote my second cookbook Over Coming Obstacles in Diabetic Cooking as a tribute to my late father, Wayne O. Miller, and for all those dealing with diabetes,” says Matthew. “My father encouraged me to exercise and lose weight, and to make this a life-long goal.”

Matthew also advises those with a disability to start making recipes with the fewest number of ingredients. “People with disabilities might need more time to learn how to cook and will probably make a lot of mistakes when cooking something. Just remember it is okay,” says Matthew. “Also, to help prevent diabetes it is important to learn about healthy eating and exercise early in life, and this is something I talk about at the beginning of my book. My hope is to keep people from never giving up on excurse and cooking.”

“Over Coming Obstacles in Diabetic Cooking” not only has some of Matthew’s favorite recipes, but also those of family and friends. The goal of this unique cookbook is to let people know they are not alone in overcoming obstacles in their lives when cooking and living a healthy lifestyle. “Together we can combat diabetes,” says Matthew.

“There really isn’t a cookbook that helps those with a disability,” says Halo Publisher Lisa M. Umina. “Not to mention a cookbook that can also be used by parents with children who have diabetes. Matthew W. Miller has written a cookbook that does all this and so much more. He definitely embodies a person with determination and has overcome many obstacles in his life, including getting his master’s degree despite having cerebral palsy.”

You can purchase “Over Coming Obstacles in Diabetic Cooking” through Halo Publishing’s website (http://halopublishing.com) and Amazon. Also available through major distribution.

Biography:

Leave a comment

Japan Food Channel recently released an instructional ebook, How to Make Sushi. The free book features sushi recipes that are practical and easy for the average person to make at home.

West Bloomfield, MI (USA), Saturday – August 25th, 2012 — Japan Food Channel is excited to announce the release of a comprehensive free ebook entitled How to Make Sushi: The Basics. The book is currently available for download at http://www.japanfoodchannel.com/FreeHowToMakeSushiEbook.

How to Make Sushi features popular, high-quality sushi recipes that are fun, easy to make and kitchen-tested by regular people. The book comes with a variety of practical tools that make it a complete guide to making sushi. For example, all of the sushi recipes link to tutorial videos that readers can watch for further guidance if they need it. There’s also a shopping guide available for people to use as a visual resource on their smartphone when they go shopping for ingredients that may be foreign to them. For a two-minute tour of how this interactive cookbook makes it easy for anyone to learn how to make sushi at home, click here.

“This book is like having a free sushi tutor in your home,” said Mai Kelly, the owner of The Japan Food Channel. “It brings the feel of how much fun it is to make sushi in a Japanese home to the reader’s kitchen.”

How to Make Sushi is a very distinctive interactive sushi recipe book. It focuses directly on what readers need to do in the kitchen without weighing them down with the complex history of sushi or all the different nuances of Japanese culture. “This is the go-to book that breaks down what home chefs need to do step by step in the kitchen to make sushi successfully and have a good time while doing it,” Mai said.

The new ebook is packed with popular sushi recipes such as California rolls, spicy tuna rolls, spicy tuna sauce and decorative dragon rolls. It also includes delicious recipes for:
* Sushi rice
* Inari-zushi
* Philadelphia rolls
* Shrimp tempura rolls
* Fatty tuna nigiri-zushi
* And many others

How to Make Sushi contains recipes developed by Mai Kelly, an accomplished home cook who loves sharing her knowledge of Japanese cuisine and culture. The recipes presented in the book are based on workshops she and her husband, Drew, had held in their home to make it easy for people to learn how to make sushi. How to Make Sushi: The Basics is a manifestation of their love of people, cooking and teaching. “We’ve worked really hard to demystify everything in our kitchen, and all of those hours and sessions are culminated in this book,” Mai said.

In addition to their interactive sushi recipe book, Mai offers a complete online learning center at JapanFoodChannel.com. The site includes a blog that gives some personal history about the highlighted dishes and tells how Mai learned to cook them. It also shares interesting stories about the kitchen where Mai grew up cooking next to her mom. Japan Food Channel also has numerous YouTube tutorial videos on Japanese food and sushi recipes. The videos are based on “live” cooking workshops, in which the Kellys provide insightful, hands-on instruction. “We answer all the common questions and keep no secrets from our students,” Mai said.

In the coming months, Mai will be releasing two new recipe books. One will feature her original recipes for rolls, and the other will contain traditional Japanese cuisine straight from her family’s kitchen. For more information about How to Make Sushi: The Basics or Japan Food Channel, please visit http://www.japanfoodchannel.com. Or contact Mai Kelly at http://japanfoodchannel.com/contact-us/.

About Mai and Drew Kelly:
Mai and Drew Kelly are passionate about sharing their love for Japanese culture and cooking. The Kellys began hosting sushi-making dinner parties as a way to have fun and entertain guests in their home. The popularity of their group cooking sessions steadily grew. This prompted them to create video tutorials, which became an instant hit and were viewed by thousands of people daily on YouTube. Eventually, the couple launched a blog, newsletter and the new How to Make Sushi ebook to further their efforts to share practical, fun ways to make sushi recipes at home. The Kellys are based in West Bloomfield, Mich.

Cooktorial, a recipes application, available for iPhone and iPod Touch

Leave a comment

Jun 08 2011 /RTPR/ – Athens, Greece – WEBST Consulting S.A., a mobile application developer, proudly announces the launch of its new project, «Cooktorial», available for iPhone and iPod Touch. Cooktorial is a recipes application, mainly addressed to the novice cook, although it can be of value to the more skilled cook as well, given that its main idea is to suggest what can be cooked based solely on the ingredients already available at home.

In fact, the main attribute setting Cooktorial apart from the rest of the cooking applications available on App Store is that, using Cooktorial, one can browse recipes which can be cooked using ingredients they already have, instead of finding a recipe which will, almost certainly, require a visit to the super-market. Cooktorial implements an easy-to-use interface, a database of over 1.000 recipes, images and thorough description of each recipe, as well as providing the user with the option of filtering the results by preparation time, cuisine type and difficulty level.

Furthermore, with a single tap the user can generate a list with the most commonly found ingredients, which can be easily edited and will be automatically stored for future use.

Last but not least, using Cooktorial does not require an internet connection, allowing thus the user to browse recipes without the use of a 3G or a Wi-Fi network. Cooktorial is a Free application available on Apple’s App Store. Users may enhance it by purchasing any of the two available In Apps, allowing them to perform unlimited number of searches within the app and to remove the Ads.
