Great anticipations turned into great disappointments!
I have tried two recipes from Fat-Free Desserts: the Chocolate Fudge LayerCake and the Black Forrest Cake.I found both cakes excessively dry andlacking the proper texture generally found in these types of desserts.

The serving sizes are not realistic.15 and 14 servings respectivelyfor the two cakes from 8½" layers are next to impossible to cut, tosay nothing of the calorie count for each cake.In proper serving sizes (8servings per cake) the calorie count would be in excess of 680 per slice onthe Chocolate Fudge Cake.The CHO count would be 140 gms.

No amount ofdoctoring can make cardboard-like cakes good.Ms. Pelligrin's book rates a0 from me!A total waste of money. ... Read more

Really Tasty!
I have tried two recipes from this book and will be trying more soon.What I really love is that these recipes are not too flashy-they don't have a million ingredients and are pretty quick to put together.For a July 4th party, I made the "Kitchen Quarterback Salsa and Bean Dip" and the "Diet Mountain Dew Salad" simultaneously while my six month old was screaming at me.I think that says a LOT about the simplicity/ease of preparation that these recipes entail.

The best part is that some of my guests were the type to gripe about low-fat/diet food and they RAVED about these dishes and asked me for the book info.That says a lot about the taste factor.

I would highly recommend this book for people that want quick diet food that actually TASTES good.

Best "usable" cookbook for the noncooker
I bought this cookbook for my mother to use (father is diabetic and had heart bypass surgery).It has so many great recipes and lets you know what to do in order to make it have less sodium, etc.It has red meat recipes (he can't eat that) but we just substitute fish, chicken, or turkey. It uses ingredients she actually had in the kitchen and would use again (not just for one recipe).I made the "No fat fried chicken" (a baked recipe to taste like fried) and my dad said it was the best chicken he has ever had.These recipes will dress up the same few meats so that one doesn't get tired of the same thing and give up on a new way of life.The recipes are so, so, easy.My mother hates to cook and loves this book.

Terrific Tasty & Easy Recipes for the Diabetic
A great source of everyday recipes for the diabetic.Recipes are easy tofollow, simple to prepare, and surprisingly good.Each recipe includesexchange and nutritional information.I've tried three diabetic cookbooksand I find this is the only one I actually use.

Good book for people with celiac problems
I am very happy with the service.The packaging and the book were in excellent condition.Thank you.

A Must-Have Book
I just recently purchased this book and so far the make-ahead baking mixes for biscuits, pie crust, pancakes and pasta taste great and are a real time saver. This book has the best pie crust recipe I have come across so far.You can actually handle and work with the dough.The biscuit mix is very good and I also use it to make pancakes.The pasta recipe is easy and tastes good. None of the baked items have that grit taste.Wonderful book!!!!

Not one of Bette's best...
I got this book as a birthday gift after going crazy for her Comfort Food book... I don't care for her reliance on V-8 juice, and some recipes seem to be more of a hassle to cut corners than to just make the recipe from scratch! Wasn't impressed with the health factor (it's not a concern for me, but if you're looking for that, it's not here) despite a different slew of recipes.

Currently the book sits more than it's used, and I take it out for the occasional reference or starting point to make my own dish.. Buy her other books before you buy this one.

Can't go wrong with Cooking Light
This is the third Cooking Light cookbook I've bought and I love them all.I was looking specifically for a low-fat collection and this one got my attention because of the "quick and easy" part of the title.The recipes are easy to follow, easy to prepare and so far every one of them has looked and tasted great.

Cooking Light Low-Fat Low Calorie Quick and Easy Cookbook
These recipes definately save fat, calories and time.The meals taste great and you don't feel like you are sacrificing on taste. Some recipes do take a little more time than the book states but they are well worth it.I also like that they break down the calories by what percent come from fat. I like the recipe tips offered in the book as well as how the book is broken down by desserts, meatless, fish, etc.This is a winner which I will send to my friends. ... Read more

Very good
Easy Breadmaking for Special diets is a great recipe book for those who have a breadmaker and are on a wheat- sugar- milk-free diet as I am.I have made several recipes from the book in the last couple of weeks and I am hooked on the corn bread and the spelt bread.I plan on trying the French bread and the pizza dough next.

Not a good choice
I was very disappointed in this book.The "Sugar-free" claim is a complete misnomer, because this book uses fructose sugar (apple juice) in almost every recipe, claiming these are "sugar-free" just because they don't use cane-derived sugar (sucrose).

Also, if you are like me looking for recipes that are simultaneously gluten-free, lactose-free, high fiber, low fat, and sugar-free, prepare to be disappointed.This book's recipes do not address difficult special diets that have multiple restrictions.Each recipe only addresses one or two restrictions.The book doesn't seem to cater to many real conditions that require multiple restrictions.

Very disappointed
I bought this book because over the half the recipes were supposed to be wheat free.My son is allergic to wheat, not gluten, and can have oat, rye, and barley.But he is allergic to wheat, and that includes spelt, which IS a form of wheat.(We tried spelt, and he is definitely allergic.)I am very disappointed - Because he has multiple allergies (also eggs and milk), I don't believe there's a single recipe in the book that I can use.Anybody want my copy?

Bread Machine
I found that most of the recipes were based on the premise that the person has a breadmaking machine.I don't.You can still use it to make the recipes I suppose but it doesn't give the details of time and temperature.I wouldn't have ordered it if I had known that.

Feeling Great!
Having tried about every diet that has been out in the past few years, I joined Weight Watchers, and purchased fourof Sandra Woodruff's books.This was one of my last books of hers that I purchased, and I'm so sorry that I didn't have these books years ago.She teaches one to cook withvery little fat,to lose weight sensibly, and to finally have an eating planthat doesn't make a person feel like they are being deprived.I feelgreat, and after two months I am ten pounds slimmer. The books all go alongwith the Weight Watchers plan, and so it is easy to count points. This bookhas so many good hints about how to improve one's health and to loseweight.The best part is that this plan works. Thank you Sandra Woodruff! ... Read more
