Want to know more? Here is why we wrote 'Super Sweets & Treats'

(Excerpt from the introduction to the book)

“We like sweet treats, our children want to have them, our children’s friends can’t have enough of them, and everyone else we know loves them.

Sweets and treats taste great, for sure, but there’s a price to pay. Parents are increasingly aware that That Sweet Stuff is not as innocent as it may appear. Commercial sweets, bakes, snacks and desserts are frighteningly high in sugar, fat, flavourings, colourings and preservatives. By now, too many links have been made between these and childhood obesity, learning disabilities, behavioural problems and multiple allergies, to name but a few. Today’s children have higher cholesterol levels than ever, are increasingly diagnosed as hyperactive or ADHDed, and have more allergies than can be counted.

It is now commonly accepted that good, balanced nutrition plays a major role in health. Heavily processed, commercially-made foods contribute nothing towards balanced nutrition or good health. In fact, they positively detract from it.

Still, life without sweet things would be very dull...

So we thought - how about if we wrote a recipe book of delicious treats that aren’t that bad, that may even have some goodness in them, that kids can make on their own and that we might even encourage them to eat?  Could there really be such sweets?

We think so.

This book is the result of our work of love. Love of cooking, love of children, love of health and, of course, love of sweets!”
