"This is not a diet cookbook to be followed for a while before resuming normal life. This is a book that represents a whole new way of eating and cooking that is suitable for diabetics, as well as anyone who wants to eat more healthily."

Mediterranean Cooking for Diabetics is a second, fully revised edition of British actor Robin Ellis' hugely successful Delicious Dishes for Diabetics. Based on Mediterranean cuisine — one of the healthiest in the world — Ellis shares his lifetime collection of healthy and simple recipes especially selected and adapted for people wishing to control or prevent diabetes.

As an actor, Ellis is best known for his role as Captain Ross Poldark in the original BBC One classic series Poldark, which was hugely successful in the UK and the US in the mid-70s, and became an international hit in more than 40 countries. 

When PBS' Masterpiece first broadcast its new smash-hit adaptation of Poldark in 2015, Ellis returned to play a cameo as the grumpy Rev. Dr. Halse, and he returns in Season Two. Apart from his career as an actor, Ellis has always been a passionate cook.

In Mediterranean Cooking for Diabetics, Ellis, who was diagnosed wth Type 2 diabetes, explains the strategic changes he made — in what he eats and how he prepares his food — that allowed him to bring his glucose levels down sufficiently to avoid taking medication for six years.

Ellis learned to cook from his mother, who suffered from Type 1 diabetes. Following his own diabetes diagnosis in 1999, Ellis  researched the best way of eating for his condition. He settled on a low-carbohydrate, Mediterranean diet and, together with daily walks, he has managed to control his condition successfully ever since.

In addition to its yummy recipes, Mediterranean Cooking for Diabetics contains color photographs, not only of the delicious and good-for-you dishes you can make, but also of beautiful, rural southwestern France, where Robin lives and leads sell-out cooking workshops focused on simple, delicious and healthy Mediterranean cuisine, making the most of all the fresh local ingredients available.
