Must have

If you are a junk food junkie like me, and you need to extremely reduce the fat in your diet to lower cholesterol or other reasons like me. This is a must have book. With the help of this book and others like it, I was able to lose 25lbs. in five months (and keep it off), and I lowered my total cholesteral by 56 pts.! By using these recipes, I was able to "pig out" and still achieve my goals. I didn't feel cheated out of not having junk food. I also read labels...lots of labels and didn't eat anything that had more than 4% total fat in it.

The Cinnamon Roll Recipe alone is worth the price!

While I've only tried several recipes in this book, the cinnamon roll recipe alone is worth the price of this book. The first time I made them they flopped, but I just gave them a second try last night and wahla! I can hardly get over the fact that they're fat-free and my step son loved them, the real test! ANd my cinnamon rolls looked just as good as those on the cover, if not better! I didn't have any luck with the fudge recipe, but then again, it could be something I did and maybe I'll try it again. Good luck!

Tempting, Tasty, and Too Good To Be True!

This book was clear, concise, and used ingredients readily found in your home. The sugar cookies were amazing, as well as the cupcakes, and the breads were great! This book is a must for anyone trying to follow a low-fat diet, and it is a definite plus for anyone with a family they are cooking for!

Tastes great and humorous!

This was a gift and I was very skeptical about the outcome of any of the finished products - fat free decadence? So I tried the Ultralight Pastry Dough, Sweet Cheese Puffs, World's Thinnest Pizza Crust, Thousand Island Dressing and the Hot Fudgy Milk Chocolate Sauce. They all turned out wonderful! Tasty and pretty simple to make, I found myself enjoying a little slice of sin without the burden of butter and loss of flavor. Flavor is one element I have found is lacking in most fat free cookbooks today but not here. Though there are no pictures of the final products (except for the four on the cover) I found that Mr. Wolfe's descriptions at the beginning of each recipe gave me a smile and the urge to quickly try it. A definate MUST for anyone fighting the fat war and you don't have to spend alot on the ingredience or the book for that matter.
