Summary: Good Book
Review: "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.

Review: I have so far tried the peanut butter cookies and the lemon moon cookies... and they were unedible. I'm hoping some of the cakes and pies are better, but the two cookies I tried so far are terrible! No one in our household will eat them.

Review: The New England Apple pie alone makes this book a must for diabetics and anyone wishing to cut sucrose out of their diet! I have served these desserts to many different people and noone notices the lack of sugar or a "funny" aftertaste. Everyone raves about the great sweet fruit taste and the textures are normal. A must have!
