2.0
I borrowed this from the library after reading a mix of reviews. I think this book is ok, but the recipes aren't especially original (I've been reading a number of recipe / sugar free recipe books recently, as well as gathering a number on Pinterest). I think if you new to eating sugar free or making sugar free meals, need a book that's easy enough to follow, and you don't mind a book written by a celebrity then it would appeal more than it did to me.
I also have some reservations about this book being sugar free. Yes it avoids refined sugar but the use of whole milk would not make it sugar free for those following, for example, an anti-candida diet or those clean eating. Likewise there is a reliance on butter and cream, where other books have instead opted to advise use of coconut oils, plant milks / creams / cheese. I'd prefer to follow books where alternatives like plant based products are used, which means this book isn't for me.
