But in Baking Without Sugar, acclaimed chef Sophie Mitchell shows you how to make decadent desserts that are totally sugar-free. From cookies, cakes, and bars to pudding and pies, Sophie shares mouthwatering recipes that prove you can go without sugar and still indulge your sweet tooth. Featuring more than 40 recipes, Baking Without Sugar is the perfect addition to any health-conscious baker’s library.
I never expect any cookbook to bat a thousand and this one is no exception. Some of the recipes just aren’t for me. But I also feel that if I can come away from any cookbook with a flat-out fabulous winner, it’s worth the money. The carrot cake recipe is just that: a flat-out fabulous winner. Moist as all getout it tastes deliciously decadent without the guilt. Who can argue with that? I recommend this book, not just for the carrot cake but also for other recipes and also the notes and advice. And the carrot cake. Definitely the carrot cake.
I am curious about trying new kinds of flour, and I made the recipe of the carrot cake (and made the mistake of using only coconut flour instead of mixing it with almond flour, it was still edible, though xD). I found that this book was a nice and easily understandable way to dip your toes on healthier bakes. My mum has diabetis and I try to find recipes that are good for her.
