Stevia makes the race! The all-rounder is calorie-free, vegetable, suitable for diabetics and about 300 times sweeter than sugar. Whether pastries, cakes or drinks - even savory dishes can be spiced up with Stevia. Reason enough, at least now and again to refrain from sugar and to include the natural sweetener Stevia in our kitchen repertoire!
However, cooking with Stevia requires a rethink. Due to the strong sweetness, sugar can not simply be replaced with the same amount of Stevia. Those who usually drink their tea with a teaspoon of sugar only need about 0.02 grams of stevioside. That's why Stevia cuisine needs its own recipes. Delicious creations that completely do without sugar are revealed in "The Stevia Baking and Cookbook" by Thorsten Klock.
Literature tip:
Where does the licorice-like aftertaste come from? Why is my stevia cake often too dry? "The Stevia Baking and Cookbook" does not just contain simple stevia recipes to imitate. It also informs stevia newbies about the proper use of the natural sweetener.
