Featuring a foreword by Gary Rhodes, this is a book full of
delicious, simple cake recipes that are much kinder to teeth! Free
from regular sugar, the cakes are made with xylitol, also known as
birch sugar. Xylitol is a natural substance made from birch bark
which has a cariostatic effect that actively inhibits tooth decay.
Written in consultation with a qualified dentist, this book is
ideal for those baking for (and with) young children; and for
anyone who loves cakes and baking but is concerned about caring for
their teeth. Light-hearted and fun, yet extremely practical, this
little volume is packed full of recipes. They range from expected
old favourites such as Fairy Cakes and Butterfly Cakes to the more
unusual Marigold Buns, Scented Geranium Cakes, and Courgette Cakes.
There are also plenty of tips from the Tooth Fairy on tooth care
and even an 'Ask the Tooth Fairy' section which covers intriguing
questions such as 'what do the fairies do with all those teeth?'

A food processor can be one of the most useful appliances in your
kitchen if you know how to make the most of it. This book will show
you how to do just that, whatever your level of culinary skills and
however short of time you are. With a simple food processor on-side
you can whiz up soups and spreads and purees and all kinds of
savoury treats. A simple food processor will give you another level
of expertise as a home-baker. Light sponge cakes and
melt-in-the-mouth pastry and biscuits, which you might have thought
too difficult to attempt before are now within your reach. This
book will enable cooks to make the most out of their food
processor, rather than it become an expensive dust collector on the
kitchen counter.
The potentially toxic effects of sugar are now well known. This
book shows how you can still eat the food you enjoy by replacing
sugar with a natural sugar substitute. You'll find sugar-free, and
therefore healthier, recipes for: - Brownies - Muffins - Sponge
cakes and fruit cakes - Scones, pies and tarts The delicious
recipes in this book use xylitol as a natural sugar substitute,
because it has benefits for your teeth, and for those with
diabetes, and is much less fattening than sugar. Because xylitol is
as sweet as sugar, you can use exactly the same amount of xylitol
as you would use sugar in your baking recipes.
