I know that some fat is good in our diets and I don't advocate eliminating all of it; however I know I personally can eat WAY too much in my desserts. This book has given me tremendous insight into how to reduce and/or cut out the fat in my desserts. The recipes are tasty, moist when they're supposed to be, chewy when they're supposed to be, crisp when they're supposed to be (you get the idea - these are not gooey, nasty fat replacements). I especially like the Prune Puree and have used it in other recipes very successfully. I highly recommend this book as a sensible addition to your healthy living cookbooks.

Well let's just say that I have been on a whole lot of diets and of course not lot the weight. I have felt bad about eating and used to think the only way to be slim was to starve myself, and I did. Then I was so sick of being hungry and I went to the library in search of a cookbook on low fat foods and found this book. I copied down some recipies and went home and tried them. WELL I was so impressed that I bought the book and read the whole thing and found out that I could eat 2000 calories a day and loose weight. I have bought 2 of her books and going out tonight to buy her fat free baking book. To this day I have lost 35 pounds in 4 monthes with out depriving myself, wy co-workers are always comenting on my snacking, cause I am always eating,and not just veggies either, I am a chocoholic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yet another gift book for young couple building a healthy cookbook library. They love sweets, chocolate, cakes, cookies, etc. and this was a good addition to show there are decent alternatives to Butter, Oil, and more Butter. Not really secrets to experienced low-fat fans, but great for low-fat newbies.

I bought this book because it sounded like it would have good receipes. Once I got the book, I didn't find any of them appetizing. A good rule of thumb is if a recipe calls for oil, substitute apple sauce and you'll be cutting the fat..
