2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Shortcuts, April 30, 2005

By	Miss Kitty Fantastico "Miss Kitty" (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews

I am a serious baker, and was excited about the idea of a dessert book that would allow me to make guilt-free sugar-free cakes and pies. Guilt-free, yes, but that's about it. I don't mean to sound like a snob, but I'm not interested in cake recipes that call for Sweet-n-Low brand cake MIX as their main ingredient. I thought this was supposed to be a cookbook? I can get those kinds of recipes off the side of a box.

Fine if you're interested in quick and easy. Not very satisfying if you want to make from-scratch desserts with real ingredients. I'm afraid I'll be sending this back.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what I expected, October 8, 2005

By	M. Sekey (portland or) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Instead of original recipes, many of Ms. Broihier's call for using ready made mixes, ready made cookies and ready made chocolate bars...Not my idea of a cookbook... what do I need the cookbook for? I could just bake the cake mix, eat the cookies and enjoy the chocolate as is.... the rest are pretty common.... take some heavy cream and whip it with some flavoring or other.....when she does offer some original recipes, many include non low carb items like real flour etc. Even small amounts, are not part of my ingredients any more....

5.0 out of 5 stars Just can't give up dessert?!?, December 28, 2004

By	Chocoholic (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

Often, even though I'm low-carbing, I can't not have dessert. This book has saved me - almost 30% of the recipes are chocolate! And there are a dozen cookie recipes, too. There are recipes to be used all through the year - summer and winter holidays included. But none is too difficult to make any day of the week, either. I also really enjoy the author's description (often personal, which is entertaining) of each recipe - it makes searching for just what I want easier. The pages at the beginning of the book are very helpful for keeping your pantry stocked with the "right" things.
