Almost too good to be true!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Great Good Desserts Naturally! (Paperback)
Once you have the basic ingredients in your cupboard, you have access to a range of healthy, tasty treats that you won't feel guilty about! The recipes are clear, easy to follow, and taste great. I can't believe that it is so easy to make such delicious cakes without resorting to dairy products and eggs.i would recommend this to anyone

Fantastic Baking Book,
This review is from: Great Good Desserts Naturally! (Paperback)
Bought this book after loving Fran's second book so much ` More Great Good Dairy-Free Desserts Naturally'. This is another fantastic baking book from Fran covering everything from cookies to cakes. There is a wealth of information at the beginning of the book about healthy alternatives to traditional ingredients, as well as lots of information throughout the book. Every recipe I have made from this book has been delicious!

Great Cookbook!,
By Mary - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Great Good Desserts Naturally! (Paperback)
I recently purchased a copy of Great Good Desserts Naturally! by Fran Costigan. I am a strict vegetarian and try to cook and bake using only natural ingredients. This book has great recipes that taste as if they have been made the traditional way with eggs, butter, and sugar. I have made the double fudge brownies with great success, and my skeptical husband even thought they were excellent. I also made the cornbread recipe, which is moister than any of the traditional recipes I have made. This recipe can be turned into cornmeal pancakes or corn muffins as well. In the book, the author gives several tips about whole food ingredients as well as how to subsitute traditional ingredients with natural alternatives. She discusses appropriate baking utensils and techniques that make this book suitable for novice bakers in addition to experienced ones. She also tells how to modify recipes (e.g. making cupcakes from a cake recipe), and she provides information on how to present the desserts (frosting ideas for cakes, sauce ideas, fillings for cookies). The book contains recipes for cakes, frostings, cookies, frozen desserts, sauces, and more. I would recommend it as an easy way to have healthier snacks and sweets in your diet. 40 of 40 people found the following review helpful:

Delightful new cookbook for healthy dessert lovers,
By Kathy Eldon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Great Good Desserts Naturally! (Paperback)
At last, a delightful new cookbook for people who want to indulge a sweet tooth, while striving towards being healthy. Fran Costigan's informative book is packed with recipes which include no butter, no refined sugar, no milk nor eggs, and are cholesterol free. Each recipe is written simply enough for a newcomer in the kitchen, and carefully tested to be totally fool proof. I love the author's lively notes, which makes the book ideal for bathtub reading. The book includes all my favorite traditional desserts; flaky pastry pies, yummy lemony custard sauce, fruit crumbles, outrageous chocolate sauce - even double fudge brownies (but all made healthily), as well as a new collection of contemporary, hip desserts, including lemon-lime tofu cream, carob cake, and "this is not my mother's pumpkin pie". This is a must-buy for anyone wanting to be healthy and happy at the same time!

I RATE THIS BOOK 10 STARS!DELCIOUS-EASY-NO SUGAR-LOWFAT!,
By "vegansam" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Great Good Desserts Naturally! (Paperback)
The Recipe-Chocolate Cake to Live For and Ultimate Chocolate Frosting are worth the price of this book! I can cook but have not been successful with desserts. Until now! Fran's clear recipes and sense of humor have transformed me into the queen of dairy-free desserts (According to my happy family and friends). I think she must teach great classes and wish I was closer to NYC. What amazes me is that I have to fight to save pieces of these desserts for my vegan friends. EVERYONE LOVES THESE DESSERTS. I want to make every recipe. I am a chocolate person but love the blueberry slump as much. The format of the book is smart. THe beginning seems like a private class in natural foods, with so much information about healthy ingredients and how to use them and WHY and charts. I think beginners and more advanced bakers can use this book-it is like a terrific reference book with delcious recipes. She points out the recipes are easily varied. I doubled the orange cake (Tropical Fruit Gateau), split the layer in half, filled and frosted it with Chocolate and now it is a much requested birthday cake. I can't beleive how professional it looked. I am ordering onther copy for myself and definately will send this book out when a gift is needed. If I sound excited, it is because I am. Did I mention that the recipes are easy and many can be made and frozen? I can find only one negative and that is I want to see more books by Fran like this one. Yes I recommend this book.
