Chef Aj's Sweet Indulgence: Guilt-free Treats Sweetened Naturally With Fruit Hardcover – 27 August 2024

Having been in the natural health field for over 30 years as a certified Medical Exercise Specialist/nurse and Personal trainer, this book is probably the best book I own when it comes to healthy eating. I made the rice pudding (made with cauliflower and apples) the other day and, topped with honey, it is absolutely delicious!. The recipes can also be adapted to your tastes too which I love! Thank you Chef AJ. This is definately a 'go to often' book for me.

I have been WFPB (whole food, plant-based) for a year, focusing on health and weight loss. For those who don't recognize this term, it's a "healthy vegan" lifestyle, which includes minimally processed foods, and little to no, sugar, oil, & salt. My journey into this lifestyle has been so rewarding and impactful to my health that I am never going back to the SAD (Standard American) diet.As my weight loss stabilizes, I am at the point where I am introducing more sweet treats into my diet occasionally and am therefore so excited about Chef AJ's book. I have made occasional sweet treat recipes over the past year, but nothing that rises to this level of variety & scrumptiousness. It feels like I am still in my pre-WFPB world, where I can occasionally have delicious cookies, ice cream & cheesecake, etc. There are simple quick recipes, there are indulgent recipes, and a variety of recipes from a little bit sweet to very sweet options. I have made 4 recipes since receiving my book recently and they are all so very good! I can't wait to bake my way through this book.This book is beautifully presented with gorgeous pictures and helpful information included, such as ideas of how to substitute common items for dietary issues (i.e., nuts, gluten, etc.) If you are familiar with the WFPB world, then you know there is an underwhelming amount of support still for authors of great books like this one. To give a 1 star review for a typo is not only extremely ridiculous in general, but also so short-sighted for the critical support of WFPB authors who are trying to provide healthy recipes to an eager audience. Without the community behind these dedicated authors, they will not receive the critical support of the publishing industry to bring more healthy heathy vegan cookbooks to the consumers. I, like many others, want to see more healthy vegan cookbook options. So, I appreciate this wonderful labor of love brought to us by the selfless & dedicated Chef AJ. Chef AJ has been immensely impactful to the WFPB movement for many years, and we are fortunate to have this wonderful book to provide us health conscious vegans with a little Sweet Indulgence from time to time.Thank you, Chef AJ!

I'm delighted to be holding this long awaited book in my hands!So many recipes, it is hard to decide which one to make first.I'd recommend it to anyone who loves heathy desserts - Chef AJ is a master.Instructions are clear, labels helpful, illustrations beautiful, ingredients easy to obtain, this hardback will sit proudly on any coffee table for many years to come.A real treat of a book.

Perfect cook book for those wanting great recipes, fantastic photos … must get for all those wanting healthier sweets!!!
