Olive Oil Desserts

Olive Oil Desserts by Micki Sannar

About The Book:

Those yearning to create more healthy treats will learn how to bake without the fats and hydrogenated oils found in common dessert recipes with this lavishly illustrated cookbook. Designed specifically for baking with olive oil, the recipes eliminate key ingredients - butter, hydrogenated oils, margarine, and shortening - that are staples in many traditional desserts. In addition to household favorites such as toll cookies, brownies, and apple pie, the cookbook features instructions for making more than 60 mouth-watering treats, among them chocolate chip buttermilk cake, silky cheesecake with strawberries, lemon sugar cookies, pecan coconut bars, and apple cinnamon rolls. Hints such as using egg substitutes and other ingredients to further lower cholesterol intake, substituting lactose-free options for those suffering from milk sensitivities, and a guide to the many varieties of olive oil are also included.

My Thoughts:

This is not just a cookbook. It is very informative and interesting. This book is gorgeously put together and could be an awesome coffee table book, though I think it would be better put to use in your kitchen! These days everyone could stand to be a little bit healthier, and now you can be, even when eating your decadent desserts! The recipes are easy to follow and easy to make! Sigh, not like I needed another reason to make yummy sweets in our house, but at least with these olive oil recipes, we will be healthier.
