A MUST For People Allerigic to Chocolate!

In late 2003/early 2004 I became allergic to chocolate. At the time I was a chocolate lover. If it had chocolate in it, I loved it! So when I could no longer eat it, dessert time went from a joyful experience to a depressing one. Over the years I found out about Carob. I love carob, but it can be tricky to cook and bake with. Well all that went away the second I got this book. The recipes are amazing and not super complicated either. I had my mother come over one day for cookies, well after eating them her exact words were: "who needs chocolate!" (she is also a huge chocolate lover, so this was a big deal.) So with this being said, if you are allergic to chocolate but love the taste, BUY THIS COOKBOOK!!!!!!!!!!!

Yummy carob recipes

These are by far the most "chocolately" carob recipes I have found yet! I cannot eat chocolate due to dairy and caffeine allergies, but I love chocolate! I tried substituting carob powder for cocoa powder in my favorite recipes, but they always tasted bitter. The recipes in this book are sweet and delicious. Even my chocolate-eating husband likes them!

Great cookbook

My son is allergic to chocolate, but was a real chocoholic before the allergy. Now, we are able to make his old favorites, and new favorites, thanks to this cookbook!
