   Having just been diagnosed with Diabetes I thought my life was over until I found this cookbook. It has been a lifesaver! The receipes are easy to follow and most ingredients you already have at home. I’m now purchasing for others in my family so they can enjoy it as much as I do. The layout of the book is easy to follow and very user friendly. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this cookbook. I would recommend it to anyone – Diabetic or not. It’s a healthier way to live and you’ll feel great!

   I tried two recipes in this book, Creamy Chocolate Mousse. p 96 and Butterscotch-Chocolate Fudge, p 24. The mousse is the worst thing to ever have passed my lips. I don’t know why all those ingredients were wasted in this recipe; because the only thing I tasted was the cream cheese and the instant coffee. It is reprehensible that one could taste this concoction and still place in a recipe book to make others ill.The “fudge” is anything but. It never attains the consistency of fudge, turning instead, to a gellatenous mess that can’t even be washed down the drain. It must be thrown in the garbage – OUTSIDE – so that it does not stink up the house.I think Ms. Finsand, and all those who contributed to this book should be required to spend the rest of their lives eating nothing but the recipes in this book. She should at least taste every recipe in the book before publishing it.

   This cookbook contains recipes with very high carbohydrate counts. I follow a low-carb diet for health reasons (not vanity), and I could never eat any of the items in this cookbook. I am an excellent cook, and I’ve come up with some wonderful low-carb desserts; but I was hoping for something original. Instead, I found too, too, too many carbs! People with diabetes may also have carbohydrate intolerance, and they should be careful of what they eat in terms of carbs. Even their doctors may not advise them of this problem since many diabetic diets still recommend a high percentage of daily intake be in the form of complex carbohydrates. I did not prepare any of the recipes, so I can’t comment on the results. I returned the book.

   I recently found out that I’m teetering on the edge of Diabetes. While I don’t have it yet, I need to start eating like I do so I don’t get it!

   I wasn’t sure how to deal with that at first. Especially sine I LOVE chocolate and my grandfather who had Diabetes always said he couldn’t eat any. So, I began looking for some good cookbooks. I stumbled upon this one. The recipes are great. However, the presentation of the book is dingy. There are no pictures or illustrations. For newbies in the kitchen, I think those are quite necessary.

   Overall I am please with the recipes and will take my own pictures to add!

   The pendulum is the link between your conscious state and your subconscious state. Ask questions and it will answer. Not for predicting the future! Lost in the woods, I found my way back…
