Hi Janice. Mine is a low sugar household. Any idea if I can add/use dried blueberries if I don't have enough fresh or frozen ones?

I love using maple syrup and honey in my baking - I try to use them more often now, but there are still times I use granulated sugar...

To be honest, I never look into reducing sugar in my baking, but as we get older and try to eat more responsible, this is something I'm interested in learning and experimenting. This cookbook will be a great starting point for me!

I never cut sugar in recipes, but I do like recipes that use maple syrup or honey instead of sugar!

I do cut the sugar occasionally but I'm also very excited to learn about using honey and otger sources as well!

My go to is usually maple syrup. Sometimes I use coconut sugar, but I've learned it needs to be ground finer to use in baking recipes.

Funny, I was JUST talking to my friend the other day about reducing sugar, etc, and that it would be really hard for me as a baker (mostly in buttercreams, which I LOVE). I didn't know this book existed but am now going to check it out!

I have some cookbooks that have recipes where you can substitute honey or Splenda - there are many ways to cut down on sugar and still have good desserts!

This is a cookbook that's been on my list for a while. So many members of my family are trying to cut back on processed sugar, for various reasons. I've always been like you - ALL the sugar is necessary, you just have to share. But, I think I'd bake more often if I baked less sweetly, as I'd have more takers. So far, I've experimented with honey a bit, but my partner is vegan, so that's out for him. I really need to learn more.

I usually reduce the sugar when in baking, and I've dabbled with different sugar alternatives like Splenda, stevia, maple syrup, honey, agave, or just sweeten with fruit like dates and overripe bananas. I think this cookbook sounds really interesting!
