THANK YOU!!! This is a great recipe book.......2004-04-06
Finally, quick recipes! Some of the recipes you get in other books have way too much prep time or are too complicated to make. I think this is the best resource for someone with diabetes who has to watch sugar/carb intake. I hope more versions of this book comes out.
high-carb/low-fat.......2001-09-12
There seems to be two camps developing in the type 2
comunity, those who follow the traditional ADA high-carb
and low-fat way-of-life and those who follow the
low-carb, higher protein/fat way. This book is in the
high-carb group. Since I'm keeping my BG's 2hrs post
meal near the pre-meal targets (
<120), the meals here
did not help me. Your milage may vary.
Easily lives up to its name........2001-08-21
I am so pleased to have found this book. Type II runs in our family, and I'm trying to prevent it, by being careful about carbs, and balancing them with protein. All the balancing work is done for you. Great to find a cookbook with easy recipes that taste good, and you won't have to eat it all week! It was just what I had been looking for. I've only had it a few days, and have already tried several recipes. And these easy recipes make you realize how easy it could be to create your own variations. As a singleton, I'm glad things serve one or two, and it gives me a better idea of what a right-sized portion should be.
Easy Recipes!.......2001-06-28
Two of my best friends are diabetics! We often eat our meals together and I was having a tough time trying to find a good recipe that I could use and yet have the food taste good! I love this book....it is so easy to use. Anyone that does not want to fuss....should buy this book! I think it is wonderful!
For non-diabetics too.......2000-09-23
These no-fuss recipes are great for ANYONE! You don't have to have diabetes to try these great tasting recipes. And it was such a pleasure to have easy to prepare recipes with amounts to serve one or two people-what a great way to try out a recipe! It is much simpler to double up or increase the serving size of recipes than to divide or reduce a recipe. I think this book should be re-titled to "No-fuss Recipes for One or Two"

Customer Reviews:
bland brick-like and tasteless.......2007-06-01
A co-worker of mine who tried 2 recipes and took them to a party of 20 people, came back with only one square missing from each pan. Everyone said "yuk". She gave me the book to keep. I thought that she was so sweet to "give" this book to me. I tried the Hawaiian Cake and some others. They were indeed "yuk". It's in my recycle trash can now. Someone wrote the apple pie makes it worth buying. You don't need a cookbook to make a delicious fruit pie. These are nearly no brainers, as the fruit adds the sweetness. I don't recommend buying this at all.
Where's the sweet?.......2007-02-13
Tried the apple almond cake. Came out like a giant bisquit and wasn't even close to being sweet, not even a hint. I had to add brown sugar to the icing so it would at least pretend to be a dessert.
Sorry but I just cannot recommend this one. I was really excited about it while reading it, too... I'm so disappointed.
Bland and Bad is more like it.......2006-02-19
I bought this cookbook a few years ago because a friend and I were trying to eat healthier. We made the peach cake and it was inedible, tasted like dog food with peaches. We were afraid to try much else. We started laughing about it over time and calling the author "Karen Barfie." One of the worst cookbooks I've ever used.
tried the cheescake--it was not good........2005-03-18
The cheesecake (I used a pear puree -- one of the purees that were recommended) came out rubbery and not sweet at all. I was so disappointed... This was so bad that I didn't want to risk trying anything else. I guess I'll keep looking for other sugar-free cookbooks.
Good Book.......2004-01-28
"A Reader" from 1998 is reviewing the wrong book. "Sweet and Sugar Free" by Karen E. Barkie, does not contain any recipes calling for date flour. The book "A Reader" is referring to is called "Cook With Me SUGAR FREE" by Sharon D. Gerstenzang. It is also available here at Amazon, and is an excellent book.
This book, "Sweet & Sugar Free" by Karen E. Barkie, is also an excellent book. The recipes are not as simple as your recipes calling for 2 eggs, 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of flour. When cooking with fruits and fruit juices, you need slighly different techniques to come up with a tasty finished product. That said, the techniques are explained in detail and after making a few of them, you really feel confident enough to try to alter some of your own recipes, to make them with fruit juices instead of sugar or honey.
Karen Barkie's recipes are reliable. The baked goods have a nice texture, a sweet flavor, and are family-friendly. After learning and experimenting with fruit-sweetened recipes and techniques, the recipes become quite easy. If you are avoiding artificial sweeteners or sugar, honey and other sweeteners that send your insulin soaring, these recipes will really hit the spot. They taste good, feel good in your mouth, satisfy the kids, and are relatively inexpensive easy to prepare.

No sugar - but lots of white flour.......2006-05-11
I was disappointed that most of these recipes still use refined white flour or cake flour. These refined carbohydrates can spike blood sugar too, just like sugar does. Probably the only recipes I'll be able to use are the ones for custards, etc.
Not as great as the reviews say.......2006-02-23
I just wanted to lend another perspective to the reviews written here for this book because I bought this book based on those reviews and was very disappointed. The majority of the recipes call for sugar substitutes such as Sugar Twin or Equal, which is okay, but I was expecting more recipes involving natural sweeteners, like juices. A lot of the recipes are not really recipes - for example, fruit jam roll-ups are simply refrigerated crescent rolls with no-sugar jam and nuts - wow, I needed a recipe book for that? Also, the recipe instructions are annoyingly vague - I can make up my own recipe and estimate and correct for, but when I purchase a cookbook, I expect exact and detailed measurements and instructions. Overall, it certainly isn't a 5-star book, and I just wanted to write this review so other people thinking of buying this book would not be disappointed when they got it and tried the recipes. I wish I would have looked for a Splenda cookbook instead.
Thi Book for you.........2003-02-10
I found this book at the library,and made lemon bars for friends who's child is hypoglycemic. They loved them so much I had to get the book...Now we all eat these really great desserts.Thank god for good sugar free recipes like these..Susan Young
We love "How sweet it is without the sugar".......2001-03-07
After trying the shortbread cookies our family wanted me to try more recipies.I recomend the "choice cheesecake"on page 43.You would never believe it only has 197 calories.My past experience with sugar free type deserts have been not the greatest untill we found this great cook book.So far everything tryed has tasted as good as it sounds.When can we find your next cookbook in the store?
A "must" for the diabetic cookbook collection.......2000-06-06
How Sweet It Is...Without The Sugar is a superb cookbook specifically designed for diabetics and dieters who must avoid high caloric sweeteners that traditionally make desserts taste good, but cause blood sugar levels to soar dangerously. Jean C. Wade, herself a diabetic, provides a fructose-based alternative sweetener for every recipes; includes easy-to-read charts for Equivalent Sugar Substitute Measurements; helpfully breaks down each recipe into its nutritional components per service (including calories, carbohydrates, protean, sugars, total fat, and sodium); and lists diabetic exchanges for every recipe. From Chocolate-Custard Cake, Nutty Apple Brownies, and Nectarine Bottom-Crust Cobbler, to Fresh Strawberry Pie, Flavored Sweetened Whipped Cream, Fruit Jam Roll-Ups, and Cinnamon Tortilla Shells, How Sweet It Is...Without The Sugar will prove a popular and much utilized cookbook for the diabetic and the dieter's kitchen shelf collection.
Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Since Pierre Hermé is probably the best pastry chef in the world, and chocolate the best dessert flavor, it's no surprise that this stellar combination, presented in Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Hermé is dazzling. Hermé's beautiful recipes are written by Dorie Greenspan, who also worked with him on his award-winning Desserts by Pierre Hermé, and the resulting creations are photographed as works of art by Jean-Louis Block-Laine.
Although Hermé is best known for his multilayered extravaganzas, this collection was written and tested for American home kitchens. So while there are a few mind-boggling, taste-bud-stretching experiences like Plaisir Sucre (hazelnut dacquoise, milk chocolate ganache, milk chocolate whipped cream, sheets of tempered milk chocolate, and a crunchy chocolate praline spread), most of the recipes are more than manageable, and just as scrumptious. Lacy Coffee-Cocoa Nougatine Cookies are crisp and delicate and extremely flavorful. The Chocolate Macaroons are the perfectly smooth, ganache-filled ones you see all over Paris, and with Hermé and Greenspan to walk you through the steps, the best results are guaranteed. Pistachio Waffles with Chocolate Cream are crispy outside and moist and tender inside, and the combination of hot and cold makes them even more memorable. Chocolate Rice Pudding is far from old-fashioned, and while it makes a delectable stand-alone dessert, Hermé suggests making it part of a truly grand dessert: his Pear and Fresh Mint Tempura with Chocolate Rice Pudding is an amazing combination of flavors, textures, and temperatures.
In recipes for everything from Hot Chocolate to Bittersweet Chocolate Sorbet, from Moist and Nutty Brownies to the legendary chocolate caramel extravaganza the Faubourg Pave, readers will benefit from Hermé's 25 years of experience, his limitless creativity, and his obvious passion for his profession. This volume is destined to become a classic. --Leora Y. Bloom

Customer Reviews:
excellent.......2007-06-27
This has become my favorite baking book. Whenever I need to impress, I make one of these desserts. Herme doesn't skip any steps or skimp on quality. As a result, the desserts are rich and satisfying. (My favorites are the black forest cake, the mousse, and the linzer torte. The black forest cake comes out better than that made at the local French bakery.)After you make the recipes a few times, you can easily adapt them to incorporate other flavors.
It's not a beginner's book, by any means--simple things like the best way to separate eggs are not explained in this book (unusual procedures are explained, though), and most of the recipes are extremely time consuming. If you're serious about cooking, this book is well worth the effort.
love it!.......2006-11-30
Although I have no professional training this book is rather straight forward and there are some simple recipes. I've tried making the chocolate rice pudding, which was rich and delicious and am looking forward to trying other recipes soon!
Great chocolate desserts!.......2006-07-22
I like this book very much. It is loaded with beautiful pictures as well as recipes for delicious desserts. I have tried several recipes with good results. The recipes are easy to make, but time consuming in some cases. Recipes are well explained with full details. The book has recipes for cakes, tarts, ice creams, cookies, plated desserts (like the fabulous pistachio waffle with chocolate cream) and confections.
Amazing chocolate creativity.......2005-11-02
I've been furiously purchasing chocolate books to learn as much as possible about the food of the gods and Pierre Herme's book is the most spectacular, creative and amazing.
Everything is in metric weight...which is great. Compared to Robert Linxe's book for La Maison du Chocolat, I gotta say Pierre's shines. Whilst La Maison was good...with nice pix, the recipes were horribly noted and one feels like Linxe is hiding the real recipe.
Pierre's book gave inspiration, lots of ideas, and most importantly, lots of great recipes I can use.
Amazing amazing amazing. Can't wait to try his creations at his stores in Tokyo.
UN BUEN LIBRO.......2005-08-09
ESTE ES UN LIBRO QUE EMPEZANDO POR EL AUTOR ,ES MUY COMPLETO.
PIERRE HERME ES UN CHEF DE TRAYECTORIA MUY BUENA Y CON LIBROS DE MUCHA CALIDAD EN SU CARRERA.
ME GUSTAN SUS POSTRES PORQ SON DIFERENTES Y CUIDA MUCHO EL ASPECTO DE DECORACION,,SIENDO TOTALMENTE SOBRIA Y ELEGANTE SIN CAER EN LA YA CONOCIDA Y SATURADA DECORACION CARGADA.
RECOMIENDO ESTE LIBRO YA Q SU PRECIO ES MUY COMODO PARA EL PRODUCTO QUE SE OFRECE!

Customer Reviews:
Worthless on all levels!.......2007-08-03
This recipe books represents the worst of both worlds--sugar in every recipe, but the resulting products are completely tasteless. My first attempt, the double chocolate cake, looked like a flattened elephant dropping after baking, and probably didn't taste much better--I threw it away. I tried a second recipe, replaced the full cup of sugar with Splenda, and still had to add more Splenda plus a bit of regular sugar to make it remotely edible (but still bad). I've had many ready-made sugar-free products that taste vastly better than anything in this book. If I could give this zero stars, I would. Ugh!
Too much sugar.......2007-04-19
This is supposed to be a diabetic cookbook. There is too much sugar in the recipes. Also, the book is outdated and calls for ingredients that are no longer available.
Great book.......2007-01-09
I like this book and the recipes were really easy to follow. My mom is a diabetic and I could fix things for her the she would eat. I reccomend this book for anyone who is or knows someone who is a diabetic.
DESSERTS NOT FOR DIABETICS!.......2006-06-28
This book is surely NOT for diabetics. Every single recipe calls for sugar, sugar, sugar! I returned the book.
deserts every night.......2002-04-03
This is a great book for anyone watching their sugar or fat intake !
