No Sugar Desserts and Baking Book

We can have our cake and eat it! I had a sneak preview of a new no-sugar dessert and baking book. Cutting back on refined sugar does not necessarily mean missing out on your favourite sweet treats. Ysanne Spevack’s book The No-Sugar Desserts and Baking Cookbook features recipes that offer everyone healthy indulgence, and taste delicious. Marion McMullen, Trinity Mirror; With today’s emphasis on healthy eating there are times that desserts and baking are refused or neglected. Now there is a cookbook that can change that. More than 65 mouthwatering recipes of pies, puddings, cakes, ice-creams and desserts are described and beautifully photographed in this highly-produced book which will tempt all who open it. The author explains why it is better to go no-sugar and devotes a chapter to tell us of the many different sugar substitutes now available, pointing out their qualities that make them ideal or otherwise. Some of them may appear difficult to obtain but today’s supermarkets should stock most of them along with other ingredients that help to make many of the recipes gluten and dairy-free … An excellent cookbook that deserves to be a popular present and should grace the shelves of all cooks interested in their family’s health.
