Most Helpful Customer Reviews 45 of 46 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. 36 of 36 people found the following review helpful: 2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing if you want it for the COOKIE recipes, February 20, 2005 By  4 a.m. Reader "texasb5" (Texas) - See all my reviews After reading the positive reviews, I bought this book. The introduction said "a few" recipes contain date sugar. When I went to the section on cookies, I found that all but three of the cookies recipes contain date sugar...usually 1 to 1.5 cups! There are many other books that focus on fruit-sweetened baking...if cookies are your interest, I'd recommend looking at others first. 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.
