[QUOTE="azure, post: 1386229, member: 39639"] Yes, it was good :) The ethos of it was avoiding sugar - that is, sucrose - and using smaller amounts of fruit, etc, to give sweetness. I made a few recipes from it, and all were good. I felt they were more nutritious, as they had vitamins and minerals from the fruit, rather than the 'empty calories' of sugar. Dried fruit is quite sweet, especially dates, but you only need a few to add sweetness. In another of my cookery books, there's a lovely rich recipe for a kind of chocolate dessert that's made with ground almonds and raw cacao, and that's sweetened with a few dates. The carbs in those dates spread across the whole dessert are minimal. I then top it with fresh raspberries or cherries and serve it with cream or Greek yoghurt. The whole thing is low carb, even for a good size portion :) I don't use Stevia or any artificial sweeteners, so I hope the rice malt syrup features in plenty of recipes. I've only used it once, a number of years ago for a recipe that specified it, but I've never used it in general cooking so I'm not really familiar with its uses. The Low Carb program here allows up to 130g carbs a day, so hopefully there'll be room for some cakes and desserts that use that syrup :) If you're taking requests, anything with chocolate is good in my book :D [/QUOTE]
