Cakes, Cookies and Bread Without the Calories

I think this is a great book if you want to bake lower calorie bakes for your family.It doesn't rely on artificial sweeteners, but rather on fruits and other things to make the bakes lower calorie. The recipes are not too complicated, with no difficult to find ingredients. They are also simple and traditional, which I think suit all members of a family well.I'm only giving it 4 stars however because I think that the cakes and other things that are baked in one, are unrealistically portioned up. The calorie count is low on the bakes on these because it relies on you splitting a cake into 10 or 12 portions, which in my view is a bit unrealistic. Of course you could double the portions and double the calorie count if you wanted to.The things that are baked in small individual portions however, such as cupcakes and muffins seem much more realistic in terms of portion size. There are lots of these recipes and I think it's worth buying the book just for them.

Justine's recipes work for me, time after time. I have used over a hundred of her diet series recipes with no real failures. The four recipes that I have tried from this book are of the same standard. However, as with all recipes do be aware of weight and sizes of ingredients.

Very tasty you wouldn't know the recipes were for watching your weight

Amazing recipes, easy to follow instructions. A little something for every occasion

Great recipes I've adapted the scones to make different ones and the shortbread is quick and easy highly recommend.

Great recipes, tasty food, easy to follow, now have the full set of books

Brill book - clear precise & very ‘doable’ recipes

Just love all of Justine's books

Some really lovely recipes in here

I have all 6 of the cooking without calories books and they simply are brilliant, I use them everyday and have lost 2 stone in 3 months. The Dutch apple cake is gorgeous and I love the rock cakes.

As usual Justine comes up with the goods, another in this slimming series

Have her other books that I use quite a bit but not sure why I bought this as I try to avoid cakes, cookies & bread regardless of calorie content so I haven't ever used it. Albeit my daughters have and like it for different ideas etc (rather than calorie counting).

Great cakes

Thanks

A very nice book.
