Isn't it cheaper to buy stevia & sugar separately and mix them yourself? That what I found with the various splenda mixes...0

"His British Pheasant Casserole made with two birds, smoked bacon and lashings of butter and cream was blasted by the doctors for its contribution to artery clogging." :huh:
Yes, god forbid we eat real food with natural fats that are essential for good health, satiate our appetites and taste delicious. We're so much healthier now that we don't eat whole poultry, smoked bacon, butter and cream...0 -
Gordon Ramsey isn't exactly my hero.
Its not that difficult to make delicious fattening food, I like to look for other methods.
Remember when he released the worst cookbook of the year?

yeah but thats come from the daily mail...
No. Thats the daily mail reporting on results from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. They decided he released the least healthy cookbook of the year.
So?
So I don't care what Gordon Ramsey would think of reduced calorie sugar mixes.

Never really thought of this...thanks for the update and info!0

Domino Light.
Sugar Stevia mix.
You use half the amount.
For example, banana nut bread calling for a cup of sugar…only use half a cup of Domino Light.
That makes a huge caloric difference!
I'm all over it.
My diary is about to have a lot more PASTRIES AND COOKIES IN IT, BABIES.
Eating pastries and cookies that taste delish and are made with butter and sugar...... that would be da bomb. and much more enjoyable, I'd think. but then I can't eat them, so I'm jealous either way. I noticed huge texture and taste differences when I used sugar replacements in baking. If you're going to have a treat, why not have the full-flavor version, really enjoy it, and just make room for it in your calorie allowance?0 -
Also, side note to the train of folks commenting about eating real foods and Gordon Ramsey etc etc etc. That wasnt the point of this thread….I was sharing my eagerness to talk about a sugar blend with less calories. SO…..to each their own, great job, I'm glad you eat butter, whatever works for you, I love bacon too, blah blah blah.0

Hahah! I hear you, kickivale. I just wish I could bake in the first place.0

I wouldn't substitute my sugar in my baking ever.
Nor my butter.
Imagine what Gordon Ramsey would say.....:noway:

You're going to need to experiment with this idea. The sugars in baked goods are more than just flavor- they provide chemical structure. Reducing the sugar to 1/4 the original amount might result in a lot of deflated treats, or mushy ones that won't set or brown. Frequently you can get away with 1/2 (which is why all the splenda(etc) for baking mixes are half sugar). I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's not always going to work.0

It will deffinitely make a difference for the tiramisu! Eggs + sugar makes a very distinct consistency, that you can't get without the sugar..0

worst?
someone arbitrarily decided it was "unhealthy"
that doesn't make the book the 'worst' if the food is delicious.
That being said- I don't like stevia- I much prefer just using regular sugar- interested to see what subsitutes you can make with this and make it worth while. I've made some foods subbing it out for honey- and it was okay- but meh- I'd rather just have the real thing most of the time.0 -
Is there a way to copy this op onto the recipe board? A lot of people will find it there that will appreciate it that may not see it otherwise. Thanks for the info.0

defo more like sugar....0

How about using the provided recipes which hopefully are already modified for any structural differences the sugar makes:

Yeah I agree, but I don't usually eat much of what I bake anymore, but I love baking so others can enjoy it. These last couple of weeks being the exception where I've been eating everything I see especially chocolate.0 -
