Low-Carb Cooking With Stevia . The Naturally Sweet and Calorie-Free Herb

Finally a low-carb cookbook with recipes my family loves. Lots of great baked goods and NO scrambled eggs.

Lots of recipes that only require a little sweetening, with stevia substituted for sugar. I could do that on my own. Too many of the tough recipes, like desserts, flopped and had to be thrown out when I tried them, and I am not usually too stupid to follow a recipe.

I keep this cookbook in the drawer next to the stove. It has been a god send. I love the last chapter on flavor enhancers. The Sweet and Spicy Texas Rub goes in all the grill meats, and the traditional barbecue sauce makes killer barbecue wings, I would put these in competition with any sugar loaded barbecue wings. My key secret is that I replace the stevia with splenda and follow the packet requirements in the recipes. The only recipe I didnt like was a recipe for Peanut Butter balls. No-Bake Cheesecake recipe I have memorized (not intentionally). I have several Lo-Carb cookbooks this is my favorite.

I was so excited to find this cookbook as I am trying to eliminate harmful chemicals from my diet. I tried more than half of these recipes, each of them a total disaster. I thought it was the quality of stevia, so I bought several different kinds. Still, each concoction had a san turn out.

I would like to respond to the person suggesting the key to success for these recipes is to substitute Splenda for Stevia. Hello... The whole point of Stevia is that it is a natural sweetener, not a chemical whos long-term effects ARE untested and will likely end up the way of toxic aspartame. This review did not help me decide at all whether this book is worth purchasing.
