Karen has developed recipes for more than 100 crowd-pleasing sweets - cookies, pies, cakes and frostings, ice cream, drinks, and breads - using the all-natural low-calorie sweetener xylitol for healthier eating. Each recipe includes detailed nutritional information. The recipes were formulated to taste as good as or better than traditional recipes, while also incorporating whole grains and unrefined ingredients. The cookbook has a hard cover with spiral binding inside to let pages lie flat. It contains sections on xylitol, helpful hints, special ingredients, and choosing cookware and bakeware. Sweeten Your Life lets you satisfy your craving for sweets the healthy way.

Summary: Sweet, but not gluten free
Comment: I was very excited to get this book but quickly realized that I would have been better off purchasing a gluten free cook book and substituting xylitol for the sugar. The recipes look amazing but I can't make 80% of them. However, I'm anxious to try the ice cream and there are several fillings and frostings which I can use. Also the recipe for condensed milk is a valuable find.

Summary: Innovative Cook Book
Comment: I am really enjoying and benefiting from Karen Edward's cookbook. I have been cooking and baking with Xylitol for over a year, trying to adapt favorite recipes for my father who is diabetic. Karen's cookbook has now enabled me to bake healthy deserts that my father really enjoys. Karen has tried and proven all her recipes on family and friends, so I can use her recipes with confidence. She is such a professional baker, but her recipes are easy to follow. Everything I have made is very delicious. If you like lemony things, you will flip over her Lemon Pecan Cookies. I love to eat them warm right out of the oven. I linger over every bite to savor the lemon zest as it melts in my mouth. If that makes your mouth water, then I encourage you to buy her second edition of "Sweeten Your Life The Xylitol Way."

Summary: About time!
Comment: This book contains wondeful recepies that are not just "sugar free", but also take in consideration that white flour is bad for us also. So many claim to be healthy, but then use white flour as an ingredient! Xylitol is a healthy sweetener, used a lot in other countires, even actually GOOD for us! Put your foot down and say no to sugar consumption, especially for our children. Xylitol is also great for our teeth and resporatory
system. Learn about it.
Check out xlear.com Thanks for listening.
