Review # 1 was written on 2010-01-12 00:00:00 Amanda Clinton The Diabetic Pastry Chef is a wonderful cookbook with more than just recipes. Stacey gives standard and metric conversions, lots of easy to read and easy to understand information about diabetes and food, descriptions of the various kinds of flour, how to use sugars and substitutes, and wonderful hints and tips for spices, various substitutes, and nutrition. The recipes themselves are sorted into 8 categories, like Tea Breads, Cakes, Puddings, Breakfast, etc. They are clear and easy to understand, and at the bottom of each is a Nutrition Facts graph like on the back of most food, with all the information about what you're eating. Here is a photo of one of the pages: The only complaint I have for this book is that there are no photos of any of the pastries. I like a book with photos… however. the pages are not glossy and have wide margins, so they're the kind you can easily make notes and write on with no problem. Overall I recommend this book to anyone who loves desserts but needs to watch their blood sugar, or even to those who want to watch their weight. Visit Stacey at her blog:

Review # 2 was written on 2017-02-11 00:00:00 Daniel Hultine Good go-to cookbook for classic baking recipes! I keep this cookbook on top of my refrigerator and always reach for it when I'm ready to make pancakes & waffles, cornbread, biscuits, breads and muffins. The recipes are straightforward and practical. I especially appreciate the chapters on alternative natural sweeteners and how to tailor almost any recipe to suit my needs. It also contains a lot of useful medical info for diabetics and lowering and maintaining blood sugar.
