The concept of making cakes without eggs may sound difficult, but
it is not new. Cintia Stammers has spent several years collecting,
testing and refining recipes worldwide. This resulting book
contains more than 200 recipes that show how imaginative egg free
cakes can be. The recipes are based on the principle that "you are
what you eat", leaning towards low-sugar, low fat and low
cholesterol ingredients with emphasis on flavour, simplicity and
health. For those who cannot eat eggs because of allergy or because
they have chosen to cut them out of their diet, this should prove
to be a handy book.
