 Less calories, great taste! August 31, 2008
Marie Birdy (Walnut Creek, CA USA)
Just what I was looking for & at an affordable price! Due to aspartame poisoning, I needed to use a natural, no calorie sweet product for my baking. Stevia is the answer! This book gives me the proper amount of Stevia to use when I make lemonade from my fresh lemons, apple dishes from my fresh apples and all those goodies I crave! This is a must have in everyone's cooking repetroire! Loosing weight and feeling healthier without feeling deprived!

I was very disappointed in this book. Approximately 80% of the recipes contain sugars in the form of fructose from fruit or vegetables. Apples, oranges, carrots, corn, onion, dates, cherries, bananas, etc. are all high in fructose. I guess I was hoping to see more recipes not containing any sugars.

I purchased this book as a gift. The recipient said it was great. I may get one for myself too.
Goldmine! I'm very picky, and love this little book. November 8, 2007

Well, first off, I'm prediabetic and have a sensitive system so I don't think I would have searched for stevia unless I had to. My instincts are to seek out 100% natural herbal sweeteners over the chemicals that are otherwised pushed on us.
I've thumbed through stevia (and general diabetic-friendly) recipe books in book stores and have been disappointed in the recipes that mostly try to overdose on fat and other sugars (concencrated white grape juice etc.) to make up for the lost sugar. I cringe when I pick up a recipe book that uses Maltitol or Xylitol or Chemic-it-all etc etc.
This book has healthy fun recipes that use stevia sensibly, within reason and within its limits. The author seems to have really done a lot of test-kitchen work and found ways to make stevia blend easily into foods. I went through on the first sitting and put post-it notes on at least 15 pages. Unusual for a recipe book.
I like the spiral binding also. On anything other than a cookbook I find it annoying, but having to crack the binding of a cookbook just to get it to lay flat (and it never does) is no good. The spiral-binding here is perfect.
I'd only wish there to be photographs included (there are a few simple line drawings for decorative effect) but I know that adding photographs adds greatly to the cost of the book production so I'm grateful that the cost is low instead. My monthly book budget can get out of hand otherwise.
The stevia recipes use unsweetened applesauce here and there for a replacement of the bulk of the sugar. A lot of whole wheat *pastry* flour, which I'll have to look for but I understand the health and recipe value of it.
The *type* of Stevia one uses is important, of course. The little coffee-shop stevia packets have a lot of filler inside, so one can't use those. Pure Stevia Extract powder (85-95% Glycosides) as is sold in bulk, or found at Trader Joe's (as noted by the author) is used throughout the book, as well as an alternative Green Stevia Powder (minimally processed, ground green stevia leaf). A small few of the recipes make use of your 1/8 and even 1/16 teaspoons, so have those handy.
Here are a few of the recipes I've got lined up to try: a great granola recipe that doesn't depend on a honey base, Oatmeal Banana Bread, Roasted Squash Onion & Cheese Pie, Fudgy Brownies (uses some butter and yogurt, btw), Chocolate Chip Cookies, Moist Banana Cake, Cream Puffs, Apple Nut Crisp, and a few more.
I was happily surprised to find more than just dessert recipes. The author has included many other basics (sauces, cake frostings, main dishes, beverages) that I hadn't thought of.
I'm going to keep this one in my cupboard and just snag recipes here and there from other sources, online and in the bookstore. This is the book I want to actually own.
