Sugar-free Cakes and Biscuits: Recipes for Diabetics and Dieters by Elbie Lebrecht
Banana cake, apple strudel, jam tarts, cheesecakes, carrot fruit cake, cinnamon balls - this recipe book shows how to make all these and more without using sugar, honey or any artificial sweetener. The author shows how naturally sweet flavours can easily be incorporated into a healthy diet, using high-fibre, low-fat ingredients. The range of recipes includes everyday suggestions for teatime as well as pies, pastries and special-occasion cakes. There is a new section with ideas on food for celebrations and parties and instructions and advice on sugar-free icing and decorating. These recipes are particularly suitable for diabetics and those on slimming diets. They have all been checked by Jasmine Challas, a dietician at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London, who has ensured that carbohydrate and calorie counts are correct.
