Don't be frustrated!!! Apr 02, 2008
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. They're right here and can be delivered right to your home. As for substitutions, your Google search should alleviate your other concerns. Stop typing reviews and start researching, you'll feel better.

 Frustrated! Feb 19, 2008
I don't like to give poor reviews, but I feel I should let others know that this book has not met my expectations. I am currently eating gluten and sugar-free, so naturally this book appealed to me! However, it seems to be just too hard to use. First of all, the list of required cooking equipment fills an entire page. (Granted, it is written in a large font, but there are -37- items on the list.) 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 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. Third, there are no substitutions listed, in case you don't have the exact ingredients. Fourth, the lists of ingredients for the recipes are quite long and the explanations are sometimes unclear. 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. If you are willing to order/purchase a number of specialized ingredients and equipment, this book may work for you. (The recipes do sound delicious.) I am accustomed to buying special flours and ingredients, but this is too much for me.

Sweet Success! Sep 30, 2007
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.

the sweet truth Sep 13, 2007
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.
