Just Delicious Diabetic Delights Bakery Makes Way for Steviva Brands
Portland, OR, (PRWEB) March 19, 2009
March 19th 2009 – Earlier this year, Just Delicious Diabetic Delights, a Bakery in Portland, Oregon that specializes in sugar free treats for diabetics and low-carb dieters, made a great discovery. While searching the web for affordable alternative sweeteners they came across the Steviva Brands site, featuring the new 100% natural sweetener Fructevia. They purchased a bag to try using it in their specialty-baked goods; the result has been three record-breaking winter months at their store. January and February are traditionally slow months for bakeries, and even with a discerning clientele and the state of the economy, Just Delicious has seen two exceptionally busy months.
Q: How did you hear about Fructevia?
A: Well, I knew about stevia for over a year and found Fructevia online. We ordered it and tried it in our fruit pies and cheesecake and it was great! On our Gluten Free cheese cake it caramelizes beautifully, and generally is far superior to the previous products we have used in the past.
Q: What caught your attention about it exactly?
A: We found that stevia was too concentrated in most of the other products we were researching and we had a hard time finding blends that cut the Stevia content with something natural. (Other sugar substitutes like Splenda, Sunnett and Sweet One are cut with Ace K and Aspartame; both raise questions about health risks for prolonged use.)
The fact that you could use half as much (Fructevia as sugar) really appealed to us. It would have been far less expensive to run a bakery on sugar, but our customers are well informed. They want to know about all of our ingredients.
Q: How do you plan to utilize Fructevia in your baked goods?
A: Fruit Pies, Cheesecake, Bavarian Cream are already being made with great success and sales using Fructevia. Cookies and a cranberry almond coffee cake are slated for production if their rise is right. If we can convert the pre-made chocolate and vanilla batters we get from our current distributor that go into other cakes we will begin to use Fructevia as well as Stevia Blend in cake recipes that are made from scratch. We are even trying the blends in our recipes at home with the family.
Q: How will it affect your business?
A: Our Customers ask if we are using Splenda. They also ask if we are using Stevia Blend, and to be able to say yes and offer it as retail?. it really gives us an edge. Cost is obviously a major concern for any business, but our customers are as curious as we are about health-positive alternatives that are made and distributed with low or zero impact on the environment.
Q: How will it affect your customers?
A: Our customer base is broad, we meet people who are recommended to us by their doctors and people who come here from the gym down the street. People in good health that want to stay there and people with challenges that need to make certain changes. We know cancer patients on dialysis and people with other pre-existing conditions that must lower, or stop, their sugar intake. Everyone is seeing a benefit. And our menu is very detailed, with stats on fat content, calories and even Weight Watchers points. I would say fifty percent of our customers are on the Weight Watchers diet.
Q: Would you recommend it to other health conscious bakers and culinary artists?
A: Absolutely! They need to start working with another medium. Doctors are actually referring patients to our bakery. Over 26.8 million Americans are diagnosed diabetic, and those who are just considering putting a stop to how much sugar they are taking in on a daily basis can indulge in Just Delicious’ baked goods with a healthy conscience.

New Cookbook Offers Simple, Nutritious and Delicious Gluten-Free Recipes
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) September 14, 2009
Aidant Books announces Gluten-Free Deliciously, a valuable resource to those who are faced with the dauntless task of eliminating wheat from their diet. This ever-increasing population includes the 1 in every 133 individuals who have celiac disease, as well as those with gluten intolerance, wheat allergy, and autism.
Gluten-Free Deliciously begins by offering the reader a basic education about celiac disease, considered to be one of the most misdiagnosed and under diagnosed diseases in America today.
Information about alternative grains including quinoa, teff, amaranth, and millet, encourages readers to incorporate these powerhouses of nutrition into their gluten-free diet.
The book also offers baking tips, a user-friendly layout, an extensive list of dairy-free and egg-free recipes, and a section on flour mixes.
Mrs. Cinquepalmi’s flour mixes offer health benefits to the gluten-free baker since they are comprised of at least 70 percent nutritional flour per 30 percent starch, a great reduction in the amount of starch commonly found in gluten-free recipes and store-bought gluten-free baked items.
Hundreds of recipes in 23 categories broaden the culinary horizons of those who cannot eat wheat with recipes such as Calzones, Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake, Orange-Almond Biscotti, Cast Iron Pizza, Coconut Cream Pie, and Wrap Bread.
Along with fabulous baked items, this tried-and-true recipe collection offers easy main dishes, tasty sides, and two new categories not covered in Cinquepalmi’s first book: Meatless Main Dishes and Pizza.
“This is a complete cookbook, not just recipes for baked items, because so often the newly diagnosed feel they are doomed to a life of dry grilled chicken breasts and steamed vegetables,” explains author Jennifer Cinquepalmi.
An eight page insert of colorful food photography prove that life without wheat can be sweet.
Cinquepalmi’s own experience with celiac disease began in 2001 when two of her three children were diagnosed with the condition. She sought to cook one meal that was good enough for her entire family to eat and to prepare meals that offered the same variety, flavor, and nutrition as those she prepared for her family prior to diagnosis.
Her first book, The Complete Book of Gluten-Free Cooking, published in 2006 and reprinted in 2008, has been praised for gluten-free recipes that work the first time you try them, and for having the best gluten-free yeast breads.
“I felt the best way to keep my children from desiring to cheat was to educate them about celiac disease, and to feed them so that they are content,” the author said.
Cinquepalmi now speaks to create celiac disease awareness, teaches Gluten-Free 101 classes to the newly diagnosed, and travels to teach sold-out gluten-free cooking classes such as Gluten-Free Baking, Alternative Grains in Gluten-Free Cooking, and Gluten-Free Goes Italian.
Availability: Gluten-Free Deliciously is a hardcover cookbook available for $ 23.95 from most booksellers, online booksellers, or at http://www.aidantbooks.com.
About the Author: After her daughter’s diagnosis in 2001, author Jennifer Cinquepalmi of Dallas Texas became determined to provide her family with delicious and varied gluten-free food. Cinquepalmi’s first book, The Complete Book of Gluten-Free Cooking, has been touted as having “recipes that work the first time you try them,” and “food that is good enough for anyone to enjoy.” Committed to helping others who have been diagnosed with celiac disease, author Jennifer Cinquepalmi speaks to educate, teach, and create awareness.
