Two cooks, twenty years of practice, and 194 spiral bound pages of it. Mary Yoder and Deborah Steiner wrote this for the household that has just been told no sugar, and possibly no wheat and no MSG either, and has no idea what to put on the table tonight.

The cover asks the question that sends most people looking for a book like this in the first place: Are you tired, irritable, depressed, overweight? Doctor says no sugar, no wheat, no MSG? What follows is the authors' own answer, drawn from what Carlisle Press describes as over twenty years of experience with the sugar free and allergy free cooking concept, gathered so that the change reads as a set of recipes rather than a list of things you can no longer eat.

The binding matters more than it sounds. This is a genuine plastic coil, so the book lies flat and open on a counter at the page you need, with both hands free. Carlisle Press has been publishing plain community cookbooks in this format for years, and it is the format cooks actually keep out.

194 pages, spiral bound, roughly 7 by 8 inches.
