After making batches of chewy or gooey or too dry low fat or fat free goodies I decided to give this book a try. For the most part most of the time the goodies I make from it turn out pretty good, and if folks don't know I'm a sneaky cook who tries to make goodies good for you they are surprised when they find out. Some of the recipes turn out a little too bland (need more spice, vanilla, or sweetener of choice) and need a little tweaking. I still get the occasional batch of strangely baked goodness that is moist one moment and a contender for hockey puck the next...though I'm not sure how much is the recipes and how much is operator error ;) Definitely a cookbook worth a try if your arteries are asking for low fat and your tummy is still asking for yummies!
The best part is the introduction which talks about the chemistry behind substitutions - why some will work and some will not. The recipes are great for getting you started and helping you see how you can adapt your favorite recipes
