I've been hankering after Jennifer Eloff's books for a while, but for
some reason they're prohibitively expensive in the UK. I was delighted
to find this recipe on-line recently:

http://www.diabeteshealth.com/recipes/read/123.html

Nick, if you're reading this, I bet this makes good scones - just note
the amount / liquid notes at the bottom.

Nicky, I have both "Splendid Desserts" and "More Splendid Desserts", and
aside from the cheesecakes, there's only a couple of recipes that
aren't carb-laden. The second book is better than the first, IMO.

I did have them on the computer (that's how I taught myself to type),
but my new machine doesn't have a floppy drive so I can't load the
darned things!

If you can get a copy of the Zucchini Coffeecake recipe, that's the one
worth trying IMO. I can't remember which book it's in and my books are
in storage.

The recipe for the bake mix is newer - maybe her newer recipes are
tailored for low carbers as well as diabetics.

BTW, I priced Bob's Red Mill Almond flour today. CDN$15.99 (8 pounds)
for 350g. Ouch! I make my own. Bob's low carb bake mix isn't available here.

Wow! I thought she was a low-carber through and through! I'm after her
specifically low carb books, Splendid Low Carbing for instance; I hope
she doesn't spoil it with the wrong sugar alcohols, etc.

Ouch indeed! It's quite reasonable over here. I can buy it in any
supermarket, but the best buy is online, 910g for UKP 8.90.

Love your learning-to-type methods, btw : )

Thanks, Nicky. You know I follow you around like an old hound dog. ;-)

When I went to the web site, it shut my computer down. @#$%^&

Ingredients & Methods
Yield: 3 1/3 cups (1/3 cup per serving)
Jennifers note: All these bake mix ingredients should be
available at places like Trader Joes or upscale grocery or
fi tness/health stores. Vital wheat gluten is 75% protein
and is not the same as gluten flour. Bobs Red Mill makes
vital wheat gluten. Make sure the whey protein powder is an
isolate or a mix of isolates and concentrates. *Ground
almonds produce 1/3 cup greater yield than. almond flour
(finer).
1 2/3 cups ground almonds*
2/3 cup vanilla OR plain whey protein isolate
2/3 cup vital wheat gluten

Method:

In large bowl, combine ground almonds, vanilla whey protein,
and vital wheat gluten; mix well. To use this bake mix: For

ingredients in your recipes.


Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

Her hubby is T2. I suspect as time went by, they both realized taking
out the sugar wasn't enough. I'm glad to see things have changed.

I was going to say her books should be readily available here because
she's Canadian, but *none* of her LC books are listed at
chapters.indigo.ca. Her first 2 books were published by McMillan Canada,
I see now she uses Eureka Publishing out of Montana, so I'd bet the
gov't was messing around in there somewhere because our gov't is *very*
anti-LC.

Our gov't. has consistently quashed any effort to introduce low carb to
the Canadian population in recent years. F'n sucks, IMO.
