Very dissapointing, Ms. Bahan stated her husband is a diabetic, yet the entire book fails to list the carbohydrate count for any recipe? ALL CARBOHYDRATES are SUGAR. She seems to miss that most important point. Pasta if high in carbohydrates will raise everyones blood sugar. For a diabetic on insulin it would be impossible to prepare or eat any dish not knowing the carbohydrate count for the amount of insulin needed. I read about her husbands illnesses with sadness, for I feel her lack of carbohydrate knowledge could lead to his further problems.Knowing all about carbohydrates which always becomes sugar in the body as well as the glycemic index is so important.

Also the over use of artificial sweetners is not only dangerous, but lacks challenge. Everyone can substitute artificial sweetners and prepare a tasty dessert or other food, but to prepare a delicious food without the use of sugar, OR artificial sweetners is what would be a real challenge worth writing about. I bought this book thinking that is what I would find. Really a waste of Money. Unfortunately I also bought SugarFree New Orleans at the same time on line. So am not happy with my purchases. Perhaps Amazon should show some sample recipes of cook books sold on line. This Book is Absolutely not SUGAR free! If using the true definition of sugar.

This was the second cookbook I bought after starting on my new weight loss plan. It is great. The "pretend" macaroni and cheese recipe, actually made with cauliflower has blown everyone's skirt up. It is so good. Then there's the "pretend" mashed potatoes. I could go on and on, but everyone just needs to go buy the book and see for themselves. I LOVE IT

When the doctor told my husband and me to get sugar out of our lives, we knew we needed tasty food or we'd never stick to a new lifestyle. In the first Sugar Busters book, there were several great recipes, but some were just too complicated for our schedules. Martha Stewart I'm not. This Sugar Free book is phenomenal. I am a busy professional woman who works 12 - 14 hours a day, and I've found this cookbook to include recipes that allow me to assemble a gourmet dinner in 25-30 minutes. Out of 30 or more recipes we've already tried, I've found only 1 dud. If you are serious about losing weight, eliminating sugar, and changing your lifestyle, get this book.

I was greatly disappointed to see sugar-free desserts loaded with artificial sweeteners. There are many creative ways to have desserts without using chemicals of highly controversial value.

Not too often do I find a cookbook that makes me want to cook more! This book is not only quick & easy but the recipes are fabulous! It's surprising at how these recipes are so simple and so full of flavor. Just as tasty as some of my favorite restaurants. Imagine that! Try the "Christen's Crunchy Chicken" (using Triscuits) or the "Broccoli and Chicken Casserole". Yummm!

I would recommend the book Sugarfree, Quick & Easy! to anybody who loves to eat but wants to be healthy. I was at Edgewater Mall here (in Biloxi, Miss.) and caught a free seminar that was given by the author, Deanie Comeaux Bahan. She has written several books about maintaining a sugar free lifestyle. Her cookbook Sugarfree, Quick & Easy! is so much more than just recipes. It is helping me already with terrific time saving tips for shopping and cooking. Thanks to this book, I have learned how to start and keep up a no sugar life, which is perfect for me, since sugar is something I am not supposed to eat! Deanie answered questions from the audience and explained the glycemic index so even I can understand it now! And the index is printed in this book. Since using Sugarfree, Quick & Easy! recipes, I am making great meals that don't show up on my waistline.

First I want to say that I am not a diabetic, so I have no idea if this book is useful for that purpose. I am a young mom who is trying to eat sugar-free without counting carbs or points, and I want some easy recipes that we will be excited about for supper. I have been using this cookbook for over six months, and it is absolutely the best thing that ever happened in my kitchen! Of course there are a few recipes that we have tried and do not like -- I just cross them out! But I would say that 90% of the recipes that I try are easy and taste delicious. These recipes use ingredients that I have heard of, the procedures are explained in everyday language, and they end up tasting great. We are eating more variety now and trying new things on a regular basis. I also bought Mrs. Bahan's Sugarfree New Orleans, and we like it just as well. We're just hoping that she eventually puts out another cookbook!!

My boyfriend and I just started the Sugarbusters! style of eating. This book makes it so easy and very enjoyable. I have had no cravings for sugars and starches. This is not the same old steamed vegetables and baked chicken that quickly become boring. These are easy recipes using lots of herbs, creams and other things you'd never believe you could eat, lose weight and be healthy, too. My compliments to Deanie Bahan. This is a lifestyle change - not a diet. Try it! You'll be surprised at how great you feel.
