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.

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!

Lots of great recipes that don't have icky ingredients and great suggestions on how to modify your own recipes.

My husband had a heart attack recently and I wanted recipes for desserts he could enjoy at special occasions, that the rest of the family would too. There is no scrimping of flavor in the recipes I have tried so far! And it's great for the whole family to be eating desserts that not only taste wonderful but have some added nutrition without unnecessary fats. Highly recommend!

This book has great info. The desserts are fabulous and I got an A on my Culinary school Final with one of these desserts!!!

GREAT!I really think this is an awesome product. I would highly reccomend it to anyone and everyone! Reasonably priced too!

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.

Great book for my dad that loves sweets and needs to be more heart healthy now! Great fast shipping and great price!

Great recipes, loved all that I have tried thus far.I have several cookbooks by AHA, and love them all.

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 aspartame (a possible neurotoxin) or saccharin and other low fat bastardized poisons are used. When will the public wake up to this huge cholesterol/saturated fat/statin drug/heart disease farce. Do some honest research, discover the facts and forget this dogma. Saturated animal fat is not bad and is needed for good health. Industrial trans fats, a bad man made saturated fat are a documented killer. The food industry likes to lump their killer trans fat into saturated fats, then call all saturated fats bad. That, and bogus research published by one man who, it was discovered later, threw out the data that did not fall on his predetermined trend line, is what started this whole saturated fat/cholesterol/heart disease crap dogma. The rest, saw an opportunity, spent millions in advertising and now we have huge industry based on nothing (like this cookbook). That industry, and others, vested in this asinine business are causing much harm, driven by avarice.

You will find these statements well documented if you look. You will also find some pretty bitter words from honest MD's, DO's, PhD's, ND's, PA's, etc., scientists, and health professionals for those who continue their deceitful practices and publish junk like this book.

If you are trying to loose some weight, my research tells me to eat the real foods, just take it easy. Forget all the chic high fructose corn syrup diet pop, fancy coffee, energy bars, and the rest of the junk food. Snack on fresh vegetables.

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.
