 no go September 22, 2008
I was disappointed in this book. The recipes are not easy to follow and they have ingredients that are not easy to fine. I would not recommend it.

This is an excellent diabetic dessert cookbook. The recipes use easy to find ingredients, and are easy to follow. It also gives exhcanges.
 Easy to make, totally delicious, diabetic friendly recipes. September 5, 2000
17 out of 20 found this review helpful
Over a hundred sweet treats for diabetics use no sugar or fructose, relying on recommended sugar substitutes instead. An introduction on the pros and cons of various 'sugar substitutes' would have been nice; many of the recipes call for this generic substitute without mentioning brand names - or the fact that sucrose turns bitter under heat. Still, the recipes provide a range of options and with a little extra research, diabetics will find them easy to work with.
A must for every diabetic with a sweet tooth July 26, 2000

When I was first diagnosed with diabetes type 2, I thought I would have to give up all sweets. I had to lose weight and dreaded a diet of no sweets. This book has changed all that. It has everything - cakes, cookies, pies, candies, etc. All with low calories per serving. I have only tried a few receipes so far but they are great. This is a must have book.
A restricted diet doesn't have to taste like cardboard. June 2, 1998

I acquired my first copy of this book when my dad was in the hospital and was placed on dialysis and we had to make sudden and radical changes to his diet. Critical to us was that his diet required we monitor all dietary content. We were impressed with this book because listed for each recipe is a detailed breakdown of nutritional values including such things salt, iron, potassium, vitamins, calories, fat, sugar, fiber and a lot of stuff I never knew existed, but is critically important for someone on a controlled diet.Impressed with the variety and simplicity of the recipes and the extensive use of fruit, I later got a copy so I could try some of these delights for myself. Ms. Howard must have been psychic - I like apples, nuts, berries, chocolate (carob), and bananas and I need to keep an eye on my own diet. The recipes rarely take much time but are so tasty I need to exercise control. Included are over 100 recipes for sweet goodies, cakes, cookies and pies. This book may be the best thing to happen to someone on a restricted diet. Especially if that someone has to monitor their diet. But that's not all, it's really good for everyone, including someone like myself with a sweet tooth who simply needs to watch calories. Ms. Howard shows us that a restricted diet doesn't mean everything you eat has to taste like boiled cardboard! Her recipes are easy to prepare and taste great!
