 A Tasty Way To Relieve Guilt August 7, 2009
Bryan W Kibbey (Seattle, WA)
I bought this dessert cookbook because I like desserts. But I need to watch my diet so when I started using this specialized dessert book I was in for a wonderful surprise. There is such a wide variety of choices it makes for a tough time of deciding what to make. The recipies are welll laid out and easy to follow, even for a clutz like me!
I think you will enjoy it as much s I do.
 sugar - sugar - sugar September 10, 2007

The AHA is another industry vested joke. This book is full of processed sugar, white flour, light/lite this and that (meaning a sugar substitute usually containing aspertame or saccharin is used) and other low fat bastardized poisons. When will the public wake up to this huge cholesterol/low fat/statin drug/heart disease farse. Do some honest research, discover the facts and forget this dogma.
On the other hand...use this book, eat what is recommended, and you'll have so many problems you will not notice any one in particular. I'm sure the junk in the book tastes just fine.

This book is fabulous. If I hadn't seen in the title that it was lower in fat and better for you I would have thought the desserts were from the full fat foods. These were easy and tasty.
Low Fat??? Doesn't taste like it! November 15, 2000

This book is great! As a co-recipe developer on this book I am proud to say that i had a part in the fantastic recipes. Try the pecan cookies or the german chocolate cake. The Orange Bread pudding with sauce is so rich you will need a glass of milk. I have been teaching "fattening" pastry classes for years and this year I replaced a few of the recipes with these and people do not even know. Try it on your family!
