A graduate of Johnson and Wales culinary academy, Dana takes the culinary arts seriously. In a desire to produce healthy, good tasting sugar free desserts, Dana has mastered the good tasting part of sugar free by offering the following advice: You can replace sugar with splenda, and you can do so on an equal basis. In other words, if you need one cup of sugar, you can use one cup of splenda. However, if you are going to use agave nectar or other moist sweeteners, do so with a moist recipe,  such as a pie filling. A syrup would change the texture of a cake too much, so he wouldn’t recommend that.
