A brilliant starting point for anyone trying to reduce or remove sugar from their diet. A good introduction explains the reason we need to cut our sugar intake and is followed by one hundred recipes which are all low sugar. There is a good selection of recipes, many are favourites that have been tweaked to taste just as good but with a lot less sugar. Well set out and easy to follow. Thank you to Net Galley and Workman Publishing for an ARC.

A great collection of yummy-sounding, easy recipes that will appeal to the whole family. Lots of info on sugar, hidden sugars, and reducing sugar throughout our food intake. Recipe chapters are breakfast, snacks, lunches and salads, dinners, desserts, beverages, and basics and condiments.
Many recipes include "what kids can do" and/or "make ahead" tips.
Recipes have an "ours to theirs" sugar content comparison, but it is not clear where "theirs" came from. The recipes do lower the sugar quite a bit .There are lots of color photos, but quite a few of them are of empty plates or other kitchen items and not a recipe.
Even though the cover says the book has recipes for every meal of the day, with the photo being brownies, I think I was expecting the book to have more recipes for baked goods. That said, this book gives me great ideas and ways to lower sugar in all kinds of dishes, and I look forward to trying the new versions of some foods we really enjoy.
I received an ebook ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a complimentary copy from netgalley - many thanks

I had requested this for purely selfish reasons. I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and have been searching out anything that I feel could be useful or helpful.

This is great !! With a very sweet tooth, I have found this informative, helpful and will be extremely useful with meal planning.

It would also be good obviously for families etc but from my own point of view - a bit of an eye opener

Would highly recommend
