Dessert is often the first thing I eat. You never know what might happen between the meal and dessert, so instead of saving the best for last, why not start with it? When people see me with a long spoon deeply buried in a bowl of ice cream topped with chocolate sauce, they often ask me: "How do you manage to stay so thin?". Well, enjoying the sweet side of life doesn't necessarily mean you'll break the scale. And looking good doesn't necessarily mean we have to spend our whole lives consuming carrots and cottage cheese.

In this book, I will show you how to turn dessert into a guilt-free part of your life. As a professional pastry chef and a certified nutritionist, I share with you some of my favorite recipes, revealing my secrets for making "innocent", non-fattening sweets. I will teach you how to replace fats with ingredients that ensure wonderful texture and taste, so you never have to feel deprived. With Sweet & Skinny, making and eating healthy sweets becomes simpler, because I don't believe in foods that are "bad for you". However, I do believe in reducing fats, smart cooking, and "everything in moderation".

The pastry guide "My Sweet & Skinny Life" with Marisa presents the most delicious and tempting recipes for desserts and pastries. From chocolate cupcakes to kourabiedes, pastry chef Marisa Churchill cleverly creates variations of our favorite sweets using simple and healthy ingredients and reducing fats, without sacrificing taste. Additionally, throughout the book, she provides tips for making sugar-free and gluten-free sweets. Finally, we can eat sweets without unnecessary guilt and remorse!
