the sweet truth: a sugar-free / wheat-free kitchen Reviews
I didnt find any of the recipes appetizing or compatible with our diet. In this cookbook I expected to find practical recipes. We are on a gluten free casein free diet and we are trying for sugar free. The sweetner choices werent much better. There were too many strange ingredients that didnt even sound good. This book wouldve been better using more stevia or erythritol.
Most all of the ingredients were at the local natural food store with one exception but it is fine. So far so good. The sugar cookies are really good and filling. I am looking forward to trying the rest of the recipes and the health benefits to overcome my own sugar addiction.
I have been working hard to get my family to eat healthy(not an easy job).But I have to say all the recipes I've tried with Kelly's book they have LOVED.Not only are they healthy for us they taste great too.So all I can say is keep it up Kelly.
As for substitutions, your Google search should alleviate your other concerns. They're right here and can be delivered right to your home. Stop typing reviews and start researching, you'll feel better. If you have taken the time to order this book from Amazon, then you should stop and do a search for the ingredients you are whimpering about.
I am accustomed to buying special flours and ingredients, but this is too much for me. If you are willing to order/purchase a number of specialized ingredients and equipment, this book may work for you. Third, there are no substitutions listed, in case you don't have the exact ingredients. (Granted, it is written in a large font, but there are -37- items on the list). Fourth, the lists of ingredients for the recipes are quite long and the explanations are sometimes unclear. I am currently eating gluten and sugar-free, so naturally this book appealed to me. I am willing to make the extra effort to cook gluten/sugar-free, but if several of the ingredients are unavailable in my local, well-stocked health food stores, I begin to get discouraged. However, it seems to be just too hard to use.
First of all, the list of required cooking equipment fills an entire page. Second, I am unable to find many of the ingredients, like flavoured liquid stevia (she lists a few different flavours), Stevia Plus Powder, Valrhona unsweetened dark cocoa powder, etc. I don't like to give poor reviews, but I feel I should let others know that this book has not met my expectations. Though this book seemed like a great choice at first, I have not made a single recipe from it because it just seems so impractical. (The recipes do sound delicious).
