Summary: Not as good as her first book!
Comment: I love the original Healthy Homestyle Cooking and use it constantly -- however, I've always thought the sweets and baked goods were the weakest part of the cookbook. And unfortunately that problem is magnified in this book. She cuts too much fat and salt out of everything, and the flavor and texture of the final products really suffer. Most of her muffins and quick breads are either rubbery and tough, or dense and soggy, because she replaces every last drop of oil or butter with applesauce. Also, H.H. Desserts has many repeats within itself as well as repeats from her first book. The same cheesecake and muffin recipes are repeated again and again, with just a tiny change in flavorings, fruit, name, etc.
For best results with Tribole's muffin and quick bread recipes, always add about 1/2 teaspoon salt, a few tablespoons of oil (in addition to the applesauce she calls for), and when she calls for two egg whites, use a whole egg instead. You'll get far better results and you'll still have a healthy, low-fat product. And you won't waste mountains of egg yolks, which I think is criminal!

Summary: I didn't believe it either!
Comment: This book will totally surprise you. I know something about cooking, so I was convinced that removing some of the butter, oil, eggs, etc., would render many of these sweet recipies inedible. But then I bought this and tried some of these "healthy homestyle desserts" after I bought Tribole's other book, STEALTH HEALTH. All I can tell you is the woman is a magician. And she made me feel like one, too! If you don't believe me, just take her Chocolate Turtle Pecan Cookies to your next church bake sale and watch the reaction.
