From Booklist
Purdy's is the most careful and thoughtful collection of light sweets that's appeared in recent memory. Those intent on discovering how ingredients react and the chemistry of fats will be sated by her explanations; those searching for great taste and less fattiness will find both in her 200 recipes. Fruits, egg whites, nonfat milk, and decreased quantities of sugar and butter make the difference; in fact, 10 varieties of cheesecake alone, from elegant apple to brown sugar with spiced blueberry sauce, are indicative of her baking imagination. Each dessert includes notes about yield, advance preparation needed, special equipment, temperature and time, and nutritional analysis, as well as a comparison to the traditional recipe. Barbara Jacobs

Reader Reviews
I have made several recipes in this book, and they do not taste low fat. They also dont have that rubber like texture that alot of healthier sweets have (she does go into detail about that among other things just before the recipes start). I am very happy with this book. Its a rainy day as Im doing this review, and she has a recipe in there for a pineapple banana cake. It takes no time at all to put it together and the smell makes the house so inviting and pleasant. I will use this book many times! Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
