5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, Incredible, Incredible!, June 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Eat Yourself Thin With Fabulous Desserts (Paperback)

I received my copy of this low carb dessert cookbook thinking that if was even half as good as Eat Yourself Thin Like I Did, I'd be happy. The recipes I've tried so far have been INCREDIBLE! I was just amazed at the Vanilla and Chocolate Cookie crusts. They only took me 5 minutes from start to finish and I had them in the oven. The aroma was heavenly and the pie crusts looked just beautiful when baked. Then came the true test. I decided to make the Banana Peanut Butter Pie filling with the Vanilla Cookie crust and the Grasshopper Pie filling with the Chocolate pie crust. I had both pies made and in the refrigerator in about 30 minutes. After they had chilled I just couldn't wait any longer. Every bite was just FABULOUS! They are without a doubt, the most wonderful low carb dessert recipes I've made. A few days later I made the low carb sugar cookies. Again, the simple ingredients allowed me to have cookies in the oven baking in 5 minutes. After the cookies chilled I tried them and was amazed. Not only did they have the same texture as the real thing but they tasted identical to a sugar cookie. Another important thing to me is ingredients. The main ingredient used to make a lot of these recipes I was able to get at my local...store. It's about time someone came up with a low carb dessert cookbook that is easy to use and the ingredients are affordable and easy to get and the recipes taste FANTASTIC! I especially like the Sources page with locations, phone numbers and websites, making it easy to find products. This is the best low carb dessert book I now own and the others I've purchased (and I have them all) are now in the bottom draw in my kitchen. Great job to the author on this low carb cookbook!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended, August 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Eat Yourself Thin With Fabulous Desserts (Paperback)

I was anxious to try many of the recipes in this book as the descriptions made them seem almost too good to believe. Well, as they say, if it seems to good to be true than it probably is. The first thing one will need to do if they plan to try the recipes in this book is find a good source for Carb solutions shake mix as it is the favored flour substitute in most recipes. I found the claim that mixing Carb solutions vanilla shake mix with butter, vanilla, splenda and an egg would produce sugar cookies that tasted just like the real stuff hard to believe. Alas, I was right. They have a taste and texture nothing like real sugar cookies and I would hesitate to try any of the other cookie recipes using essentially the same ingredients. I was disappointed in this cookbook and would not recommend it.

I just received my copy of Nancy's latest book Fabulous Desserts, and can't wait to try these low carbohydrate variations of my favorite recipes. Nancy uses everyday ingredients and simply and clearly guides you through making these desserts. There are examples of low carb pie crusts that can be adapted to your favorite recipies. Recipes use some of the common sweetners, such as Splenda and Stevia, and the recipes range from chocolate to custards to pies. Nancy, hats off to you for another successful cookbook !
