Summary: The Cutting Edge
Review: Having spent many years baking goodies I thought my baking days were over when I went low-carb. "101 Low-Carb & Sugarfree Dessert Recipes" is on the cutting edge of offering a way to have real deserts. It is very obvious April is totally commeted to her craft, working with each recipe with the best ingredients to be found. She is dedicated to see all of us succeed. How wonderful to provide a list of where to obtain the ingredients.
Owning her book is like going to cooking school. I am just thrilled with April and her book.

Review: I have finally managed to gather together all the ingredients to start making the recipes in April's cookbook. So I started with the peanut butter cookie recipe. And I was not disappointed. No boy!! Those cookies were worth the price of the book...just to get a wonderful low-carb sugar-free cookie that actually tastes like a real cookie was awesome. I have spent more time throwing out completed recipes from other cookbooks, but no more! I can tell this one is going to get an A+ in my book. Thanks, April, for going the extra mile to get a finished product that is soooo reminiscent of the things that we can no longer eat but still crave. God is going to have an extra halo for you, girl! I am editing this review to say I just made April's Chocolate Chunkie cookies and all I can say is WOW WOW WOW. At the first taste of one warm from the oven I thought I had died and gone to Low-Carb heaven. Another fabulous product from April. You MUST get this cookbook.

Review: I never thought I'd ever write a review for a cookbook, but here goes. Although there are many recipes in this book that I will probably never try, like every other cookbook I own, the ones I have tried are completely wonderful. The piecrust is amazing and tastes just like the high-carb kind. I can use it with my own recipes. The Cherry Cheesecake is so easy I can make it from memory now. I think the most interesting thing about having this cookbook is the easy access to the author who always promptly answers my questions via email. I guess that is one of the advantages of the new digital age. I could never get that kind of service from Betty Crocker!

I'd give this book five stars if it had color photos and was spiral bound so it would lay flat. But that's just me.

Summary: Sooooo Gooooooood!
Review: I recently got my book and fell in love with just about every recipe. I am a new comer to the Low Carb lifestyle and was freaking out after induction for some sweets. I thought that I was going to loose my mind. So I turned to my trusty friend the Internet and stumbled across a website which recommended this book. I thought the price was reasonable, so I bought it. I got the book and quickly set out to buy the ingredients. I first made the cheesecake, which knocked my socks off. I could not find the maltitol in my health food store, but they said that they could order it for me. It is expensive, but that is not the issue here. After getting my maltitol, I made the Butter Pecan Brittle. Needless to say that I keep this stuff handy when those sweet twinges hit. It is perfect. I have tried that store bought low carb candies and they are expensive too! I like the satisfaction that I can make my own and have it in bulk for just about the same price as one $2.00 chocolate turtle thing. These store bought candies also use maltitol. This book is a great book and I would like to the author put out a regular cookbook for those dinner and lunch favorites that we cannot have, but still love to eat!

Review: Let me just say that Meema's Pie Crust recipe and the Bake Mix alone are worth the price of the book but I also love the Crème Brulee and the Butter Pecan Brittle. They are so incredible and so easy I couldn't believe it! I am really glad I found this cookbook. At first I thought I might have trouble finding the products Fields uses, but so far, so good. Some things I have found at my local heath food store and the other things, like the Splenda-sweetened syrups I ordered online using the resources in the book and I got them quickly with no problems. The recipes are easy to follow and turn out just like the photos and I was surprised and pleased that there were photos too, although I wish they were in color.

Thumbs up on this one! I would recommend it for anyone who loves sweets but can't have sugar or who follows a low carb diet. I emailed Fields with a question and she emailed the answer right back. I told her I hoped she was planning another low carb cookbook with more than just desserts.

Summary: Most of the recipes use Maltitol
Review: This book is incredible. My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes this year. We were all concerned about her inability to have the sweet things she loves. This cookbook has put the excitement back into our lives especially with the holidays coming. I recommend it to everyone.

Summary: Awesome Sweets!!
Review: This book was a godsend to me, as I love baking/cooking for my family who seem to gravitate towards sweets:) I have recently opened a low carb grocery store and recommend this cookbook to all my customers who bake. It can help anyone stay lowcarb without missing their favorite sweet recipes.
