She lives in Toronto with her husband and four children.

You can have your cake and eat it too-and on a daily basis.

Divine Indulgences is the perfect cookbook for people who want to indulge their sweet-tooth with a clear conscience. Rose Reisman, an expert in the field of healthy, light baking, has created recipes for delectable cakes, pies, tarts, cobblers, crumbles, puddings, cookies, squares, jelly rolls and more that are made even more alluring because they are all low in fat.

Designed for every meal and all occasions, here are desserts to tempt every palate. Enliven daily fare with Chocolate Cappuccino Bread Pudding, Banana Peanut Butter Jam Muffins or Pear and Plum Crumble. Captivate dinner guests with decadent Mango Swirl Cheesecake, Banana Chocolate Meringue Pie or Rose's luscious Sour Cream Brownie Cake.

Among the wide selection of desserts, ranging from traditional favourites to exciting variations on old standards, there are also no-bake and no-dairy treats. And accompanying each recipe is a detailed nutritional analysis so you can know the calorie, fat, fibre and carbohydrate count.
