The owner of the celebrated Mani's Bakery in Southern California, Niall has spent years perfecting his technique of baking with no refined sugar--without compromising on flavor. His Sweet and Natural Baking offers 65 recipes for such delights as creamy cheesecake, chewy brownies, magnificent muffins, tangy tarts, and even rich truffles, all made using familiar baking methods. Nothing lifts the spirits like a homemade treat -- and if it's made with wholesome ingredients, it tastes all the sweeter. Amazon.com Review: Mani Niall has become famous for the beautiful yet indulgent desserts sold at his Los Angeles bakery. In Sweet & Natural Baking, Niall explains how to make naturally sweetened treats using only whole grain flours. (Some are also low fat, but that's not a particular objective in this book.) Carefully detailed instructions should guide you to perfect results for baked desserts, including cookies, muffins, scones, pies and cakes. There are useful descriptions of ingredients to help anyone unfamiliar with using whole grains and sweeteners such as concentrated fruit juice and maple syrup in baking. Mouth-watering photos show why Danny DeVito, Roseanne, and rock groups have made Mani "baker to the stars." Accessories: Related Items:
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - great cook bookgreat book for sugar free treats. the recipes call for fruit sweeteners, and are really good. Rating: - fantastic for the health conscious bakerthis is a wonderful little dessert cookbook for those who want to avoid using any refined or unrefined sugars. i usually use turbinado sugar and occasionally Sucanat but since i have bought this cookbook i have pretty much stopped using even those and gone with the author's recommendation of Fruit Sweet. The author's directions are very easy to follow. There are a decent number of whole grain recipes, too. I would caution the baker who is looking for a whole-grain only or whole grain-heavy cookbook tho. This book, while having a decent number of whole grain recipes does have many that call for white, all be it unbleached, flour. I suppose you could always substitute your whole grain for her recipes that do call for white flour but i have not tried doing so yet. Rating:  - Fructose and corn syrupI like the idea of using natural sweeteners in baking and the author suggests other sweeteners aside from juice concentrate reductions. Although that is the predominant sweetener that is used for many of the recipes. I'm very pleased with the variety of recipes, cookies, brownies, cakes and the creative use of flour free, egg free ingredients. I just wish he included more recipes here maple sugar, honey or molassas were the primary sweeteners. Rating: - Excellent recipes I think this is a fantastic book for people who are sensitive to sugar and those who wish to increase their use of whole grains in baking. I found these recipes easy to use, including making my own Fruit Juice Reduction. An earlier reviewier noted that she was confused about the fruit juice reduction containing corn syrup. If I am reading Mani Niall's book correctly, the fruit juice concentrate should NOT contain corn syrup. All this means is spending a minute or two reading labels in the freezer section of your local market and making sure the fruit juice concentrate you purchase contains only 100% unsweetened fruit juice.
