 It sounded like a good idea Feb 11, 2009
By BSP
The author provides a list of "must have" ingredients to always have on hand - but most all of the recipes call for items that are not on the list and these items are not run-of-the-mill grocery store stock. Many of the recipes seem to be quite involved. For example, the chocolate chip cookie recipes not only involve mixing the dough - but also require freezing the cookies on the cookie sheets for 30 minutes before baking. I don't know about you, but I don't have that much freezer space. When the author tells me to pull out my dehydrater to prepare fruit for her recipes, I put the book aside. I am not a professional cook. I need good recipes that don't consume a lot of time to make and that are practical. These recipes may produce great food, if you have hours to devote to the process. The book is expensive compared to others, so unless you have a lot of time and close proximity to a natural foods market, I would not invest in it.

 the sweet truth Sep 13, 2007
By Sharon Haserjian
"Sharon L"
I thought the recipes are really good and creative. It takes a while to get all those unusual ingredients together but I tried 3 recipes and liked them and did not gain weight. It will take me a while to get totally into it as it is a whole lifestyle , kitchen and pantry change.

By Anthony J. Sciuto

Kelly has done an amazing job teaching us how to enjoy the sweet lfe without sugar! Her hemp balls are amazing! I love using Stevia in my food.I have been using it for years and Kelly has taught me how to cook with it too!Her cookbook should be in the kitchen of every household, especially if you have a food allergy to wheat and sugar.

Great Book Aug 31, 2007
By J. NANTZ
I have found these recipes to be great tasting and fairly easy to make. The information she shares in the beginning of the book is most helpful in reference to eating wheat free/gluten free!

Delicious Healthful Dishes! What more could I ask? Jun 24, 2009
By Rosemarie A. Goldman
"Cooking Goddess"
When I opened Kelly's book and saw she already had a grocery list of items in the front, I knew I was home! I collect (and use) cookbooks and have hundreds and have always loved to cook. Since I'm now 10 weeks gluten-free (and 13 pounds lighter!), I was more than happy to work with The Sweet Truth! Yes, it took some time to adjust to all the weird language and ingredients and I did have to search through Trader Joe's and Whole Foods to find some specialty items over the past 10 weeks, but now I have a fully-stocked, healthy cabinet! My two teens don't even know that the desserts they have been devouring are GF! Beef bourguignon last night had GF baking mix for a thickener instead of flour and no one but me knew the difference.... I figure, it took me a lot of years to get to where I am today, it will take me a bit to adjust to how I cook going forward for me and my family. The extra time and effort are well worth the investment for my entire familiy's health. KEEP ON COOKING!
