The Stevia Cookbook – Cooking With Nature’s Sweetener

The Stevia Cookbook – Cooking With Nature’s Sweetener by Donna Gates and Ray Sahelian, MD

Are you trying to reduce the amount of sugar your family eats but don’t want to resort to artificial sweeteners? This book would be an excellent addition to your cookbook library.

The first part of the book talks about the history of stevia. Why, despite the fact that it’s so commonly used in Asia and has been in use by South American Indians for centuries, is stevia so little known in the western world? The book points to the usual suspects: money and politics.

Thankfully stevia is available on health food stores shelves. It’s calorie free and inexpensive. It only takes a couple of drops to sweeten your tea or a half teaspoon to sweeten an entire dessert. Stevia won’t contribute to tooth decay and some natural healing experts say stevia is highly nutritious and healing to the pancreas and adrenal glands.

Chapter 3 tells the history and dangers of artificial sweeteners. Diabetics and those who want to lose weight are quick to use these, but how safe are they really?

Chapter 4 acquaints you with the various forms of stevia: from whole leaf to green to white powder to liquid concentrates, you’ll learn which formulation is best for your needs.

Part Two is all about the recipes. You’ll find recipes for pancakes and crepes, muffins, salads, dressings and sauces, beverages and of course – desserts!

My family has been using stevia for years and we love it. My kids reach for the liquid stevia whenever they make green tea. My sister reaches for it when she has a cup of coffee. I’ve used stevia in my desserts (don’t tell anyone because they didn’t know the difference!)

Learn more about stevia and start using it to sweeten your family’s food safely and naturally with the Stevia Cookbook.
