It sounds wonderful and looks positively 'synful' - but it shouldn't be......if you see what I mean, LOL..

I don't have it, but read about this in one of my many foodie mags (I buy them all and drooooool). Quite fancied buying it but thought a bit better of it as I would probably make them all and even though they are full of veg, I think they'd still have a fair few syns.

Worth putting on the Christmas list though, if only to read it (and weep).....

Sounds lush. Has anyone got it? If so is it easy to work out the syns?

Hey!
My Sister bought this a few days ago and all the recipes look AMAZING! And the book is very pretty too It seems to be quite easy to work out syns as ALL the recipes have calorie and fat contents listed in the back of the book. And they're listed per cupcake/slice, which is even handier

Jessabelle, do you think it would be ok to substitute any sugar with Splenda and the likes? Or would that just make things that much more tricky to syn??

I've been thinking about it but sweetener is like powder so i'd find it difficult to work out the correct weights. If anyone can find out i'm sure you could do it x
