Great buy and gift

This is a wonderful, easy to read cookbook. The introduction explains the specifics of celiac disease, gluten allergy and gluten intolerence. It describes the many types of gluten-free flours, including the sources, flavor notes, consistency and nutritional analysis. The recipes are straight-forward and very specific, there's no guesswork. I bought this for my grandmother who developed a wheat allergy as she got older. She has always loved to bake, so this is perfect for her to reinvent her recipes.

yummy!

i was able to trick my husband (who thinks he hates wheat free food) into really enjoying several things from this book. i am so glad that this book is in my collection. it is very cool with all of the explinations of different flours, and other baking essentials. it is also written in grams and cups which could be very helpful. one more thing that i likes is that is lists things like calories, protien and the likes. very good book!

Really is the "Best Ever"

Really like this book. It has some great recipes and wonderful solutions to the Gluten-Free problem many people face. Highly recommend!

Healthy GF Baking

If you are gluten free and also health conscious (not always the same thing), this book is for you. I was a "health nut" before our family decided to go gluten free, and was left discouraged by some of the best-selling GF cookbooks out there--lots of white rice flours used, not much quinoa and healther grains used, etc. While you will find rice and potato flours in some of these recipes, you will also find the more "exotic" and healthful flours used extensively, amaranth, sorghum, and quinoa. The recipes taste good (judged by my gluten/carb addicted husband) and I know they are good to give to my kids who think raisins and figs are a big treat (you get the point :-). Should have "healthy" in the title, too. Worth the buy.

The Best Ever

While this well written and informative book is designed primarily to appeal to those unable to tolerate wheat and gluten it should not be restricted to only the digestively challenged. If, like me, you enjoy baking you will be intrigued and inspired by all the many alternative flours available and the techniques employed in using them. You'll want to try out the many recipes for cakes, cookies, muffins, and other goodies, and you`ll be rewarded by the tasty results. I especially liked the banana nut muffins.
