Yummy!

"Super Sweet Treats for Diabetics" is a cookbook offering more than 330 recipes for desserts for diabetics. It is a good cookbook and the recipes lead to tasty food, for the most part, without using artificial sweeteners. Also, carbophydrates from flour (and sugar) are reduced from conventional dessert recipes. I ordered and got the softcover book, but the recipes are the same for the hardcover book. I am suprised that the softcovered book is currently unavailable. It should be reprinted! There is a nice range of recipes available that are, also, excellent for healthy desserts for the rest of the family. As a diabetic, I do not have a great deal of fun when everyone else can have cake or pie and I must settle for something that is less dangerous for me. I appreciate the fact that this book offers a large number of desserts that do not have a lot of artificial sweeteners. No matter what the sweetener folks say, I hesitate to offer children treats with artificial sweeteners. With this cookbook, everyone can have the same treats without second thoughts about consequences.
