Notes:
"Book design by Richard Oriolo. Illustrations by Susan G. Purdy."
"My goal was to develop a collection of delicious inviting dessert recipes that were not only appealing to the palate and to the eye, but also were so good you couldn't wait to make them. If they also happened to be low in fat and more healthful, that was a secondary bonus. This is neither a deprivation diet book nor was it written with the intention of being what I call 'CC' (Culinary Correct)."--Introduction.
