Annette Sym's Creamy Tuna Bake image

There are heaps of delicious-sounding Macaroni Cheese recipes on Zaar. Unfortunately, many are phenomenonally high in all the things many of us are probably trying NOT to eat. This is a low GI recipe, which I am posting in response to Vina's query about low GI foods in a Forum. The recipe is from Annette Sym's website, where you will find other recipes and a lot more information about GI. Annette Sym provides nutritional information for all her recipes, and alternative ingredients, so that after using a few of her recipes the basic GI principles are easily understood.
