Down Home Food With Less Fat/Sugar 5 out of 5 stars.
26 of 26 people found this review helpful.

"Authors Gaines and Weaver show the reader how much of the hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes plaguing the African-American population can be avoided by making easy changes to traditional soul food recipes without losing too much of the flavor. The basics of healthy food preparation and menu planning are incorporated with suggestions for cooking with traditional herbs and spices, along with advice for reducing fat, calories and sodium. Portion sizes are given to aid in blood sugar control and weight loss, as well as complete nutritional information and official ADA exchanges.
Now you can experience palate-pleasing soul food recipes such as Barbecue Pulled Pork, Hoppin' John, Hoe Cake, Soul Slaw, Collards with Smoked Turkey, Chicken and Dumplings, Key Lime Pie, Rice Pudding, Sweet Potato Pound Cake and more in The New Soul Food Cookbook." (review from the National Federation of the Blind website, Marilyn Helton reviewer)

Diabetes Cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

My daughter was diagnosed last October with Type 1 diabetes and I've had to revise a lot of my cooking. It has been a challenge, especially having to configure calorie and carb counts in everything I cook. This cookbook is very good in my opinion. Healthy recipes, all nutritional stats included, and oh, my goodness, the Chicken and Sausage Gumbo rocks!! I'm definitely pleased with it.

Far Less than expected 2 out of 5 stars.

I should have gone to a store to look over the books I ordered. I ordered them on a recommendation by those that reviewd them. I'm not happy with either book. They are diabetic cook books and probably will be rarely used, if at all.

Amazing chocolate creativity 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I've been furiously purchasing chocolate books to learn as much as possible about the food of the gods and Pierre Herme's book is the most spectacular, creative and amazing.

Everything is in metric weight...which is great. Compared to Robert Linxe's book for La Maison du Chocolat, I gotta say Pierre's shines. Whilst La Maison was good...with nice pix, the recipes were horribly noted and one feels like Linxe is hiding the real recipe.

Pierre's book gave inspiration, lots of ideas, and most importantly, lots of great recipes I can use.

Amazing amazing amazing. Can't wait to try his creations at his stores in Tokyo.

Editorial Review:

Whether you are an expert in the dessert kitchen or a beginner with a desire for the delicious this collection will introduce you to the myriad delights of Pierre Herme's desserts, his unusual juxtapositions of ingredients, his conjurer's touch with textures, and his perfect pitch when it comes to sweetness, tartness and "chocolatey-ness". The book provides recipes for the simplest chocolate truffle as well as the luxuriously soft and rich Suzy's Cake, which is spectacularly delicious yet quite simple to make. Through more than 75 recipes, readers will be able to taste chocolate in all its states - hot and cold, creamy and crunchy, smooth and custardy, thick and chewy, bittersweet and sweet, dark, milk and white. Finally, there are the indispensable Base Recipes and a Dictionary of Terms, Techniques, Equipment and Ingredients. Together they form a complete course in chocolate dessert artistry.

Disappointing if you want it for the COOKIE recipes 2 out of 5 stars.
32 of 32 people found this review helpful.

After reading the positive reviews, I bought this book. The introduction said "a few" recipes contain date sugar. When I went to the section on cookies, I found that all but three of the cookies recipes contain date sugar...usually 1 to 1.5 cups!
There are many other books that focus on fruit-sweetened baking...if cookies are your interest, I'd recommend looking at others first.

Editorial Review:

It's hard to believe that these tempting and delicious baked favorites contain no sugar, honey, or artificial sweetners:

Chocolate-Coconut Cake
Spelt Whole-Grain Yeast Bread
Peach Pie
Sugar-free, Dairy-free Fudge
Blueberry Crisp
Summer Afternoon Malt
Whole-Wheat Raisin Cookies
Graham-Cracker Cookie Cutouts
Apple-Nut Cinnamon Rolls
Raspberry Popsicles

The secret is fruit, pure and naural, along with fruit juice concentrates, date sugar, and other healthful alternatives to sugar. All recipes are dairy-free and most are cholesterol-free and can be adapted for common food allergies. Deborah Buhr's family-tested recipes are irresistibly good--perfect for children, diabetics, calorie counters, the food allergic, and anyone with a "healthy" sweet tooth.

Pleasantly Pleasing to the Palate and Pocketbook 5 out of 5 stars.
13 of 15 people found this review helpful.

What more could one ask than for an "easy to digest" compilation of cleverly created recipes? Ms. Mills' book provides a new venue for those who are diabetic yet long for the sweet stuff. The book itself is a great value that enriches the palate with decadent desserts. The recipes are simple to follow, and the explanations from Ms. Mills make one feel as though she is guiding each step of the baking process. For value, ease of instruction, and variety of dessert choices, this book is a wonderful buy.

A Perfect Fit 5 out of 5 stars.
18 of 20 people found this review helpful.

I have been on a moderate carb diet for a few years and was experimenting with recipes that would fit with my exchange diet and carb counting. Splenda had been on the market for only a year and few people knew how to cook with it and gain good results. Enter Marlene Koch into my life. Her recipes from this book were just what the doctor ordered. There is just enough sugar to make the textures in the food work, but the carb count and fat content was "a perfect fit" for my diet needs. Not only that, but every recipe I tried tasted fantastic and this book has allowed me to return classic recipes such as three bean salad, coleslaw, gingerbread and "sugar" cookies back into my diet without guilt or ill effects. I've made many of the recipes in this book and make her "Heavenly Cheesecake" for my holiday table each year.

Thank you Marlene for all your hard work. I'm looking forward to reading and cooking from more of your books!

Editorial Review:

The first of its kind cookbook expands the uses of Splenda, proving that it is versatile enough to be used in many different recipes for all types of meals.

Yes it contains Splenda recipes 3 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

Buy this book if you want recipes that use Splenda products. Don't buy it if you want recipes that are low-calorie, low-fat, or even low-sugar (some contain a Splenda product but are also loaded with corn syrup or molasses). The occasional nod is made to calorie reduction where no particular work is required to adjust the recipe, for example replacing the regular milk in a recipe with low-fat milk. But by and large, nothing else has been done to standard baking recipes except to swap some Splenda product or other for sugar.

Editorial Review:

From the maker of SPLENDA Sweeteners comes The SPLENDA World of Sweetness Cookbook filled with 97 sweet-tooth recipes created with SPLENDA Sweeteners. Each recipe has been carefully developed for taste, texture, volume, and tenderness for fabulous results. This delightful cookbook has reduced-sugar sweets and drinks for every occasion, including Peach-Berry Muffins in the morning, Pecan Pie to welcome a new neighbor, Dulce de Leche Swirl Cheesecake for special occasions, and Chocolate Chip Cookies for a midnight snack. For a thirst-quenching treat, there is the refreshing Ruby Red Chiller, or warm-up with a hot mug of Mulled Cider. A special chapter includes original masterpieces by celebrity chefs, such as Food Network's Sweet Dreams host Gale Gand and Park Avenue Caf 's Richard Leach. The SPLENDA World of Sweetness Cookbook is the perfect way for your family to enjoy all of the sweetness of sugar without all its calories.
