Cook books are fun to collect and can add variety to meal planning. This cook book has tasty and healthy recipes for cookies, cakes, puddings, muffins and other deserts. Its important difference is in the appendices. Soneral, a diabetic has brought together tables, lists and charts of substitutes, modifications and equivalents that will complement and make all your other cook books offer healthy recipes. The sugar substitutions and sweetner equivalents make feasting at the holidays a pleasure rather than something to dread.
