t"I just had to write and tell you that I made your Fresh Apple Pound Cake. It was the hit of our group meeting. We had 55 people at our support group meeting tonight and EVERYONE raved about it. We had 4 other desserts and they were all left over, but not this pound cake. I can't wait to try more recipes. I just bought your cookbook at the CSA conference a week or so ago. What a treasure it has turned out to be. Thanks and keep up the great writing." Carol B., Rochester, NY

t"I have to tell you. I had a group of about 15 women over Tues night. On Sunday, I made your carrot cake. None of them knew it was gluten-free until I started eating it. They couldn't believe it. The next day they were mad that I didn't bring what was left to work. Fools!!! Like I would share what was left with them!!!! I am going to make it for our next meeting. You were right. It really stays nice. I cannot thank you enough for such great cookbooks." Mary G., Dearborn Heights, MI

t"I admit it... I have a cookbook addiction! And since our family has been gluten free, I have added quite the collection of gluten free cookbooks to my shelves. And I use them ALL! Well, I now have a new favorite for gluten free desserts... CONNIE SARROS' DESSERT COOKBOOK! EVERY recipe I've tried is fantastic! And if you can crave it, Connie has a recipe for it! I can't say enough about it! I highly recommend it to ANYONE who wants to venture into gluten free baking, or just add new options to the dessert menu. But warning: everyone will start asking you to bring the dessert... everytime!" M. North

t"I have been reading your cookbook and am truly appreciating your work. Lots of people don't know what to do about baking gluten-free and it is kind of random what they do. Your hints on how to improve the cooking of rice flour mixes, etc. was very helpful." Kersti B., Lansing, MI

t"So far I have made three of your recipes and they are delicious. My family is very happy with me and my teacher friends (we went back to work this week) want me to make them another Mississippi Mud Cake. I look forward to trying many more of your recipes.

t"I was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 months ago, age 51, and am determined to follow through. I tried all the gluten-free products I could find at the local grocery stores. Yuk! Anyway, I mixed your gluten free flour mixture and have used it as, is in place of regular white flour in everything from cookies (I'm making chocolate chip right now) to pie crust to pasta. It surpasses any bought items I have tried. Thank you for your books, your support, your help, your recipe!" Barb R.

t"I want to thank your for your wonderful cookbooks! I have your kids’ and dessert books, and they have been a tremendous help as I navigate my way through setting up a gluten-free life for my family (I have celiac, my kids and husband are all gluten-intolerant – all diagnosed in the last year!)." Sue L., CT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
t"My aunt, in Stow Ohio, mailed me the article from the Akron Beacon Journal (March 7, 2007) that featured you and talked about the celiac conference this month. I'm checking with my work (I'm a preschool teacher) to see if I can have that day off to attend. For Christmas, I received your Wheat-Free, Gluten-Free Dessert Cookbook from my aunt. It is wonderful!" Denice H.

t"My teenage daughter was given your Dessert Cookbook as a Christmas gift from her boyfriend - she has been cooking us lots of lovely treats!" Lynn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
t"A little over a year ago I "discovered" your cookbooks, and your gluten-free flour mix. It is the first one I found that substitutes so impressively for wheat flour that even my son, who does not require a gluten-free diet, will eat the breads and cakes I bake. Now I use your gluten-free flour in all of my recipes and they are even better!" Christine

tDessert book— Rated FIVE out of 5 stars!
"This book has recipes that are very good and pretty easy to make. One thing that I really appreciated was that they all use the same flour mixture, and the flour actually has nutritional value, as opposed to having 5 different flours throughout the book that you have to make, or just using a mixture of corn starch and potato starch. Even if you need to cook gluten-free desserts, I would highly recommend this book! "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
t"I just purchased you book, Wheat-Free, Gluten-Free Dessert Cookbook,.... I LOVE IT!!!!! I think it is one of the best I have seen since being diagnosed. It has good but uncomplicated recipes that don't require me to purchase a lot of additional items for baking. Many recipes in other cookbooks call for products that would normally spoil because I wouldn't use them enough. Thanks so much, and keep up the good work." Gloria H.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
t"Dear Connie, I can't thank you enough for sending your recommendations and even including recipes from some of your other books! As you suggested, I do use ground nuts quite a bit as a flour. My kids love the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake in your Dessert Cookbook! I may take that to our next church gathering. You have been most generous with your time and your intellectual property, and I am so appreciative. My next cookbook purchases will be two more your books (good thing my daughter works at a bookstore!) Keep on writing cookbooks!" Jean I.

t"Connie, I've checked out the Dessert Cookbook several times from the library but I don't have access to a car today, and really need to make a cake for my sister's birthday. Trouble is, I was very dumb and didn't write down the chocolate frosting recipe last weekend before I had to take the cookbook back to the library. I don't know HOW you came up with that chocolate frosting, but it is the BEST I have ever tasted! My three children absolutely flip over it and everyone who tastes it is in shock from how good it is. I was wondering if you could possibly send me that recipe? I know I could easily get hundreds of chocolate frosting recipes off the Internet but none of them would be as good as yours. I want to thank you over and over for your wonderful cookbooks. They have really saved not only my son's weight and health but my sanity, trying to figure out what I can make him and get him to eat. And I LOVE the fact that your books all use the same flour mixture. I was overjoyed when I first realized that because I was getting tired of all the different mixes other cookbooks were calling for. It's just so wonderful to be able to make a big batch of the mixture and use it for everything. Thank you!" Kiirsi H.
