I have made several recipes in this book, and they do not taste low fat. They also dont have that rubber like texture that alot of healthier sweets have (she does go into detail about that among other things just before the recipes start). I am very happy with this book. Its a rainy day as Im doing this review, and she has a recipe in there for a pineapple banana cake. It takes no time at all to put it together and the smell makes the house so inviting and pleasant. I will use this book many times!

It is truly amazing how delicious these recipes are--- and easy too! I have gotten rave reviews from everyone that I have served these desserts to, and they are just astonished that they are lowfat. I would highly recommend this to any cook looking to impress (and eat healthier).

Good book for folks who want to watch their waistline and also have desserts. I love Susan's other book (let them eat cake) a little better (mostly because this has a LOT of cheesecake recipes that I do not like at all, but that is just me). I have made several recipes (I especially liked the fruit crisp topping which I keep handy in my fridge for instant crisp in the microwave, and the chocolate biscotti) in the book and most of them are good enough that I have no need for the full fat version.

What a great book,I have had this book for 5+ years now.The fruitcake (I know)was really great.Don't get turned off by the big list of ingredients it is truly delicious and wards off all the horror stories about fruit cake.I have made a lot of cakes from this book,never been disappointed.Would have loved more pictures though!!!!
