Review: Good book and delivered timely at a fair price. However, I purchsed it as a gift for someone, so purposely chose one that had the condition listed as indicative of no markings, etc. When I received it, I opened it randomly and the very first pages I opened to both had bright highlighter marks on them, as did a couple of other pages - so I could not give as a gift, which was the entire purpose of getting it, and had to go out at the last minute to a regular bookstore and pay full price for something similar. Now I’m out both the extra money spoent on the new gift AND the money spent on this that I now have no use for. Entire purpose of purchase was defeated because of overly-positive statement condition of item listed. Very disapointing. But delivered very promtly and was a reasonable price. The Diabetic Dessert Cookbook — Bad directions and serving size directions. Impossible results and conflicting information. Very disappointing.
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. 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.
