Most Helpful Customer Reviews 47 of 48 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Good sweet tooth satisfying recipes for restricted diets, March 22, 1998 By A Customer The recipes in this book are very tasty. They are excellent for people who need to eliminate refined sugar from their diets. As most of the recipes call for fruit juice concentrates or other sugar sources one must pay careful attention to the diabetic exchange guidelines. My favorite recipes are the muffins and breads. I purchased the book to reduce the amount of sugar in my childrens diet as I felt it triggered hyperactivity. Most ingredients are available at the super market. A few require a trip to a well stocked health food store. The blueberry muffins are - quick and easy. 48 of 50 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars pecan pie recipe, December 31, 1998 By A Customer I made this pie for my diabetic husband for Christmas.

Perry (New Haven, CT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I was very interested in this book due to my recent diagnosis of pre-diabetes. I've been advised to steer clear of simple sugars, esp. white sugar, white flour, rice and potatoes. I thought this book would be a great addition to my cookbook library, but alas it was not. Unfortunately the authors simply omit white sugar from the recipes, but still include huge amounts of simple sugars through white flour and fruit juice concentrates. If you are specifically allergic to white sugar, then this book might be for you. If, however, you're a diabetic trying to cut out simple sugars I'd pass on this book.
