It should be called “the dextrose cookbook” as pretty much everything requires dextrose. It was hard to find but I did manage to buy dextrose eventually. There’s a good range of NZ favourites in here, I was happy to see Anzac biscuits included, it’s great to have a fructose free version of these. However the dextrose makes the recipes so repetitive, and dextrose is not great for you. I wish there was some variance to the sweetener used, perhaps a few recipes with natural sweeteners like dates, and other types of sweeteners that are easier to find, like rice malt syrup. I also think the shock value of this book declaring that “sugar WILL kill you” is a bit much. That’s like saying smoking WILL kill you... it kills some people, yes. But not everyone! Seems like a false claim.

If you want sugar to take a back seat in your life, read this book. The author certainly walks the talk .... See also Damon Gameau's That Sugar Film
