It's just okay.

I was expecting a book that contained more natural, fruit juice-sweetened recipes. Many, if not most, of the recipes in this book call for granulated fructose, which is still a processed sugar.

It is good to have a sweet treat when everyone else has one.

"How Sweet it is, Without the Sugar" is a cookbook to help out those of us who must be careful with sugar intake. It is good to have a sweet treat that we can eat, when all about us are having sugar. Otherwise, celebrating birthdays and other occasions can be the pits. Jean C. Wade has provided 100 desert recipes that contain no sugar, honey, corn syrup, or molasses. Generally she uses fructose as a substitute but also provides for the use of artificial sweeteners. She also uses fruits and juices for their sweetening abilities and provides advice on the use of lactose.

However, many of her recipes use all-purpose flour, without mention of some alternatives that substitute for part of the wheat flour. Thus, diabetics who wish to minimize their starchy carbohydrates will need to look to other cookbooks. Also, the text does not have photos or drawings to depict any finished deserts.

The book does provide a nice range of deserts, suitable for almost any occasion. Nutrition facts are provided for the recipes.

The book may not be the perfect choice, but I do recommend it to improve the possible number of choices one has for a festive occasion. Bringing your own containeer of 'diabetic' treats to serve with the sugar-laden stuff may not sound great, but is better than having your tongue suffer of unfulfilled taste lust. And, maybe some other diabetics will be happier, too.

More and more Americans are being diagnosed with diabetes than ever before, and many others are realizing that they have a genetic predisposition (or lifestyle) that is likely to lead to diabetes, But what to do about the inevitable craving for dessert? We all have it, but diabetics have long been left without a satisfying, healthful way to enjoy a sweet treat after a meal. Jean C. Wade, a diabetic herself, has created a cookbook that is chock-full of welcome answers to the dilemma that plagues diabetics and dieters alike: how do you make delectable desserts without using sugar, honey, corn syrup, or molasses?all those highly caloric sweeteners that make blood sugar take off like a rocket? By carefully testing and experimenting with different sweeteners on the market, and often using fresh, ripe fruits and juices, Jean has come up with nearly 100 recipes that avoid the pitfalls to baking without sugar.
