Filed in archive Books (and Mags) for Cooks , Ingredient Spotlight on April 6, 2010

In lieu of the launch of CanolaInfoCooks.org, checkout "The Heart-Smart Diabetes Kitchen: Fresh, Fast, and Flavorful Recipes Made with Canola Oil" cookbook.

Fast facts on canola oil:

• All 151 recipes in "The Heart-Smart Diabetes Kitchen" are made with healthy canola oil


• Canola oil has the least amount of saturated fat of all common cooking oils - half that of olive oil - and it is free of trans fat and cholesterol.


• Canola oil has a high smoke point (heat tolerance) and a neutral taste, so is perfect for just about every culinary application.

The cookbook, which was developed by CanolaInfo and the American Diabetes Association (ADA), is filled with healthy, delicious and easy recipes. Seven bloggers from the CanolaInfo team will be preparing all 151 recipes and sharing their experiences. Each blogger has a different life perspective to offer - some with culinary expertise, some married with children and others young career-focused urbanites still learning their way around the kitchen. While culinary levels in this group vary, they all want to share one message: Healthy cooking is for everyone!
