This review is from: The Sweet Truth: A Sugar-Free / Wheat-Free Kitchen (Paperback)

The author provides a list of "must have" ingredients to always have on hand - but most all of the recipes call for items that are not on the list and these items are not run-of-the-mill grocery store stock. Many of the recipes seem to be quite involved. For example, the chocolate chip cookie recipes not only involve mixing the dough - but also require freezing the cookies on the cookie sheets for 30 minutes before baking. I don't know about you, but I don't have that much freezer space. When the author tells me to pull out my dehydrater to prepare fruit for her recipes, I put the book aside. I am not a professional cook. I need good recipes that don't consume a lot of time to make and that are practical. These recipes may produce great food, if you have hours to devote to the process. The book is expensive compared to others, so unless you have a lot of time and close proximity to a natural foods market, I would not invest in it.

I thought the recipes are really good and creative. It takes a while to get all those unusual ingredients together but I tried 3 recipes and liked them and did not gain weight. It will take me a while to get totally into it as it is a whole lifestyle , kitchen and pantry change.

Kelly has done an amazing job teaching us how to enjoy the sweet lfe without sugar! Her hemp balls are amazing! I love using Stevia in my food.I have been using it for years and Kelly has taught me how to cook with it too!Her cookbook should be in the kitchen of every household, especially if you have a food allergy to wheat and sugar.
