When beloved author, TV star, and chef Paula Deen was
diagnosed with diabetes, she thought it might be a curse,
but it turned out to be a blessing. While food had
always played a major part in her life—from offering comfort
during the tough early days to making mealtimes special for
her family to inspiring her business and professional
life—it would now play an even bigger role: as the key to
managing her health. By taking charge of her life and making
small changes—a little less sugar here, a slight
substitution there—she reaped big results. Paula soon
found herself forty pounds slimmer and feeling great, all
the while eating the Southern favorites we all love: (oven)
fried chicken, lower-fat biscuits, and red velvet
cake—lightened up!
Now she’s back with a brand-new
cookbook featuring fresh twists on her treasured recipes for
anyone who wants to lose weight, control blood sugar, lower
high cholesterol, or just serve healthier meals to their
families. Filled with 250 lightened-up-but-still-delicious
recipes, Paula Deen’s New Testament offers classics
like
• Everyone’s Favorite Pimiento
Cheese • New Savannah Gumbo • The Lady’s New Cheesy
Mac • Beaufort Shrimp Pie • Nutty Sweet Potato
Balls • All-New Peach Cobbler
But this is no
ordinary cookbook. With honesty, insight, and her trademark
Southern charm, Paula also shares for the first time her
personal story of triumphs over adversity and explains her
decision to go public with her diabetes, a disease that
affects millions. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Paula’s
dishes or looking to incorporate healthier meals into your
life, Paula Deen’s New Testament is a friendly, fun
guide to having your cake and being healthy
