Kerr is leading chef with the knowhow to keep it healthly and not sacrifice taste and scrumptuous dishes.

Here with his wife and food editor he takes on empty calories of sugars and salt and fat and white flour, replacing with especially the sugar substitute Splenda.

There is over 75 recipes for many food types, including Drinks, jellies, pickles, cookies, main dishes, desserts, etc.

Sampled so far with good results:Orange Mango Cocktail; Apple Walnut Muffins; Chocolate Roll with Raspberries; Pear, Cherry and Almond Strudel; Oatmeal Almond Crunch Cookies; Blackberries in Warm Custard. No photos don't distract too much from this helpful cookbook.

Excellent for those with diabetes or looking to trim waistline.

I bought this cookbook with the expectation that I would make desserts sweetened only with Splenda. To my surprise, the recipes use Splenda to reduce sugar, but include other ingredients such as corn syrup, brown sugar, honey, fruit juice, raisins, sweetened yogurt, candied ginger and canned fruit. On the plus side, it does give you exchanges and a nutritional breakdown for every recipe; but I will have to keep looking for a Splenda-only cookbook.

I have watched Graham Kerr on television since I was a preteen, so I am well aware of his cooking talents, as well as the fact that he changed his lifestyle a complete 180 degrees since his wife had a heart attack; but I was not overly impressed with the cookbook. His recipes are not exciting, just plain simple fare, and absolutely not low carb.
