Suzanne's recipes are always innovative and well thought-out. I never have any trouble concocting one of her recipes. Just to point out to the editorial reviewer--the "Level One" or "Level Two" is not a difficulty measurement. It is for the people who are following Suzanne's way of eating, where a food item is considered Level One or Level Two. I really hate it when people write reviews who don't do their research first.

I have almost all Suzanne's books and I really love them all. I can't use her SomerSweet (dang!) but she has the sugar equivalent listed, though I can't have sugar either, I can use that measurement for what is safe for me and enjoy all her wonderful receipes. Yes, she promotes her products for these receipes but they are not mandatory. I would be a sad girl if not for her cookbooks.

I like this diet a lot. It's low carb and I get to eat carbs when I do it right. Delicious recipes.

If you don't mind shopping for Somersize sweetener, Somersize chocolate, Somersize white chocolate, etc. then this book would likely be a good one. I am sure that the recipes are good. I just didn't have the energy to get MORE ingredients for my pantry that I might or might not get around to using. Suzanne looks great, and her recipes from other books were quite good. I was looking for easy chocolate recipes that were low in sugar that I could actually eat. I think I'll just buy some Lara bars from my local grocer. Whew. Just thinking about shopping makes me tired, and I even like shopping at Amazon, but hate paying shipping - although many times that is free or less than the cost of gas to buy special ingredients from several different stores (as you are all well aware of). Still, if you don't mind the shopping, the recipes look like they would turn out well.
