Now, this exciting cookbook allows allergy sufferers to indulge in a wide variety of baked goods, all delicious and all gluten-free. Featured are more than 100 recipes, including homey treats like biscuits and blueberry muffins; chocolate chip and other cookie jar classics; old-fashioned favorites such as eclairs, pie crust, and lemon squares; artisan style breads; and more than 20 cakes, from a simple vanilla layer cake to a decadent German chocolate cake. A thorough grounding in classic baking techniques, as well as detailed instructions in how to buy, mix, and measure gluten-free flours, ensure success for even novice gluten-free bakers. Rounding out the book is a pertinent discussion on how readers can incorporate baking into busy schedules, and why it is so important for emotional, as well as physical, well-being. Average Rating:

Rating: - GF EasyThis book is wonderful especially because it bakes GF with a minimum of ingredients. If you have done any GF baking you know it requires many ingredients and many egg whites. Most of these recipes use whole eggs and a brown rice flour mix (that you can buy already mixed at Authentic Foods) that is easy to have on hand. If you are new to GF baking, by all means start here. Rating: - Buy this book!I bought this book and several others to bake a treat for a family whose daughter has celiac disease and numerous food allergies - egg, soy, nuts, and citrus among others. I found a recipe for chocolate sandwich cookies, which was easily adaptable for the child's needs, using pure palm shortening instead of soy shortening, egg replacer for the eggs, and parchment paper instead of cooking spray. (Bonus: you can reuse each sheet of parchment paper once, since the cookies do not lose a lot of butter while ... Read More
