2.0 out of 5 stars Net Carbs Are Incorrect
While the recipes in this book are delicious, the net carb counts are completely incorrect. It seems the author does not count granular Splenda as the 24 carbs per cup that it is. Good recipes, but do your own math when figuring net carbs.

I was searching for a Low Carb Cook Book that only uses Splenda. I came across this one and just had to have it.I couldn't believe it. I found every ingedient at my Local Albertsons and for the first time I didn't have to ORDER anything. My sister and I are both on Atkins and we are so happy now. We made the FLAN and then MADE the Cheesecake. Both turned out great and let's just say WE ATE LIKE PIGS and didn't have any guilt afterwards. There was poem inthe back called IN GODS EYES WERE ALL CLEAR. That poem really hit home. THIS IS A MUST HAVE BOOK if you want to eat Desserts again. This holiday it's going to be so much better now since there is a "PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE RECIPE that only has 4 NET CARBS and YIPPY it's SPLENDAAAAAA
My sister and I are so happy that we made this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Low Carb Diet Dream Book, July 16, 2004
By 
This review is from: Low Carb Sinfully Delicious Desserts: Cheesecakes, Pies, Cookies, Mousse, Tiramisu, Fudge, Chocolate, and More. (Paperback)
My Husband made a deal with me that he would go on the "LOW CARB" diet with me ONLY if I would still make him the desserts he loves. I agreed and went "COOK BOOK SHOPPING". I purchased 3 Low Carb Cook Books and 2 Low Carb Dessert Cook Books. Out of the 2 Dessert books, this one TOPS THEM ALL. The first dinner that we had together on the "LOW CARB" diet I made the Tiramisu. My husband RAVED over it and sayed to me: "If I knew that we could eat like this while on a diet, I would of been doing this a year ago with you". I have made 3 other desserts using LOW CARB SINFULLY DELICIOUS DESSERTS and we both enjoyed them all. I like the idea that the Net Carbs are located on the top of each recipe. This is a MUST HAVE if you are on a low carb diet. Stop shopping for other cook books. You found the best one right here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Desserts, Delicious Rewards, June 30, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Low Carb Sinfully Delicious Desserts: Cheesecakes, Pies, Cookies, Mousse, Tiramisu, Fudge, Chocolate, and More. (Paperback)
Since I work hard to stay fit, eating sugary desserts just doesn't cut it. The desserts in this book are delicious and allow me to cheat a little on my eating regimen. I highly recommend this book to anyone who gave up sweets just to stay in shape. You'll have fun making them and a party eating them. The selection of recipes is great, the guidelines are easy and the chef has thrown in some poetry just to entertain us. It's a really fun book. I highly recommend this book. This way you can have your cake, and not wear it too.

Thanks, Pastry Chef Kline for your book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have if your on a LOW CARB DIET, June 17, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Low Carb Sinfully Delicious Desserts: Cheesecakes, Pies, Cookies, Mousse, Tiramisu, Fudge, Chocolate, and More. (Paperback)
Talk about a true life saver. I have been on Atkins and SugarBusters and this book has been my BEST FRIEND. Sometimes when the sugar cravings get to hard to handle, I open this book and my life becomes so much easier for me. The cheesecake is out of this world and the Walnut Cookies are Delicious. It's so nice to FINALLY have a cook book that I can use. I didn't have to order any ingredients.
This Christmas and Thanksgiving is going to be great this year thanks to Low Carb Sinfully Delicious Desserts. A must have if your on "ANY" Low Carb Diet.

The whole purpose of Sugarbusters or Atkins or even The Zone is to stay faithful. This book will allow you to do just that. Now I can have "Birthday Cake" with Frosting this year.

Looking at all the Desserts in this book, I feel it would be great if your a diabetic as well

5.0 out of 5 stars DUMMY PROOF - ALL SPELLED OUT, July 17, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Low Carb Sinfully Delicious Desserts: Cheesecakes, Pies, Cookies, Mousse, Tiramisu, Fudge, Chocolate, and More. (Paperback)
Yes, I must admit something. I'm the guy who needs to be a little more educated in the "COOKING FIELD". I never payed attention in Home Economics, so finding this book was to good to be true. I'm slight overweight (My wife reminds me daily), so I made the "LOW CARB LIFESTYLE" my new friend. I have lost about 25-27 pounds so far and it has been a daily struggle. I needed a DESSERT FIX. I heard about this book on WCPX 107.7 Fm and I was listening to the author/chef talk about how "EVERYTHING was spelled out in great detail. He said that all the measurments were spelled out and that I could find all the ingredients in my local grocery store. I shop at SHOP RITE here in New Jersey.
Driving with my knee (POLICE OFFICER) I wrote the name of the book down on my ticket book. After I recieved the book I was very happy that I was listening to the radio that day.The author/chef was correct, everything was spelled out and I did find everything I needed in SHOP RITE. I only like cheesecake and chocolate pie and both of them were in here as well as about 60 plus more. If your an idiot like me and have a hard time with cooking/baking and need a "DUMMY PROOF" low carb dessert/cook book, then this is the one for you. My wife tells me that I'm looking good now, so I gave her a ticket for not YELDING TO MY FAT AWAY!!! Take care readers

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm very PLEASED with this LOW CARB DESSERT BOOK, November 19, 2004
This review is from: Low Carb Sinfully Delicious Desserts: Cheesecakes, Pies, Cookies, Mousse, Tiramisu, Fudge, Chocolate, and More. (Paperback)
Being on the SOUTHBEACH DIET, it's not that east to find desserts that I can eat. I found LOW CARB SINFULLY DELICIOUS DESSERTS very easy and friendly to use. I enjoyed the cheesecake and Ice cream. This HOLIDAY should go smooth for me and my daughter since now we can have pie and other desserts. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LOW CARB DESSERT BOOK.
I have lost over 40 pounds on SOUTHBEACH.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth The Price, July 16, 2004
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Low Carb Sinfully Delicious Desserts: Cheesecakes, Pies, Cookies, Mousse, Tiramisu, Fudge, Chocolate, and More. (Paperback)
I do not feel that this book was worth the $17.95 price tag and have returned it to Amazon.

The production of this oversided paperback book is very home brewed. The page layout, font selection, and printing of the design are of poor quality.

The book gives only "Net Carb" counts for recipes rather than complete nutritional information which can be calculated easily with an inexpensive program like MasterCook. The lack of proper nutritional information makes the recipes fairly useless by diabetics and people who are other than Aitkins-like diets.

On top of the production and nutritional value problems, the recipes that I tried were just plain not tasty. They lacked in basic sweetness, and in remaking some and adding extra Splenda, they never did achieve an acceptable flavor.

If you are thinking of buying this book to satisfy your sweet tooth, expect to be disappointed.

This is a cool cookbook! Things I thought I couldn't have I now can. And made with everyday products. Even my husband, who is not on low carbs, enjoys these desserts.Thank you for a great cookbook.
