This review is from: Marlene Koch's Sensational Splenda Recipes: Over 375 Recipes Low in Sugar, Fat, and Calories (Hardcover)

I bought this book because I was looking for recipes using Splenda, and were low in sugar, fat and calories as my husband is a newly diagnosed diabetic. I tried the Banana Muffins recipe first, fully expecting them to taste like "diet food." Wow! Was I ever surprised! I liked the muffins so much, I made them for friends and family who loved them so much they begged me to make more. My husband raved about the Banana Muffins to his doctor who promptly rushed out to buy the book for himself! The books gives analysis per serving info (the main reason I initially bought the book) and the recipes are incredibly easy to follow and taste yummy. We both have hope because of this book that we can eat a variety of healthy, tasty food. This cookbook is the only one I have in my kitchen now. God Bless Marlene Koch for this wonderful book!

This is a great cookbook and I've been pleased with the recipes I've tried so far. The desserts are excellent and we've had a lot of fun trying them out. Best of all, they are guilt-free! I watch my calorie count every day and many of the desserts are only 100-200 calories. I am looking forward to trying out several of the mixed drink recipes, too. This is a cookbook that covers all types of foods from appetizers to desserts and is a great way to eat healthier. I love that the nutritional information is listed for each recipes, as well as helpful notes for many of them. I wish there were pictures instead of illustrations, but other than that, it's a great addition to my cookbook collection.

This review is from: Marlene Koch's Sensational Splenda Recipes: Over 375 Recipes Low in Sugar, Fat, and Calories (Hardcover)

I checked this book out of the library first and just had to buy it! There are so many great recipes that my family love. I love it because it takes some traditional recipes and modifies it to be healthy and they are better than the traditional ones. I also love the comments on each page about little facts and why something is used in the recipe. Great recipe book, in fact I have given 2 away as gifts.
