Eating Gluten Free: Delicious Recipes and Essential Advice for Living Well Without Wheat and Other Problematic Grains

Easy to follow recipes for those that are cooking challenged, lol that would be me!! the chicken soup/stock recipe would be worth the drive to Wyoming alone. I make huge batches and freeze it!

I am recently gluten-free for medical reasons, and I love Shreve's writing at The Daily Coyote and other places. This is good but not as much practical advice as I'd hoped. Well compiled, interesting, helpful.

Loved this book! Truly helpful advice on navigating the gluten free lifestyle changes and an introduction to a new way to cook. Every recipe we've tried is a winner.

NIce book, alot of recipes but has so many different flours that have to be purchased to make the recipes so i have only tried a few.

Helpful book.

I am gluten intolerant and also allergic to soy and corn. Recipes call for soy flour, soy milk and cornstarch. If you have lots of food allergies this book is useless,. I will have to figure out substitutions. Very disappointing

Easy book to read and reap for gluten-free living. The recipes included are fun and uncomplicated. Some of the recipes are helpful to use when traveling.

One reason I like this particular cookbook is that it not only addresses my gluten intolerance, it also addresses my lack of time and energy. Most of the recipes require minimal prep and make extensive use of handy appliances like the food processor and blender. Some recipes take more cooking time, but it's the sort where you cover the pot or throw the pan in the oven and forget about it until the timer goes off. Also, the author was not an experienced cook when she was first diagnosed, so the recipes are very clear and detailed, and most of them are designed for the inexperienced chef. This makes them even less labor-intensive for those of us who started helping Mom in the kitchen as soon as we could reach the counters.Now, the recipes don't get too "exotic." Steak, chicken, and fish are the only meats mentioned, and the vegetables and spices are all easily found. The specifically gluten-free ingredients, like non-wheat flours, can be found either online ([...] is a source I swear by) or at your local organic/health foods grocer. The fruit might be a little harder to find if you're not located in a city with a fairly diverse ethnic population, particularly Hispanic and Asian (the author lives in San Francisco, I live in San Diego), but I'd still recommend this book even if you have to skip the recipes containing things like young coconut, papaya, and agave nectar.Also, along with the recipes, the book features a section at the beginning detailing which foods are gluten hazards, tips for eating out, symptoms that might indicate Celiac or other gluten intolerance disorders, and kitchen basics if you, like the author, are not accustommed to cooking for yourself. In addition, there's a section at the back listing some support groups and resources for Celiac sufferers.Overall, I'd say this is a good volume for those just starting a gluten-free life or those looking for some easy, tasty recipes that branch out a little in the produce area and are guaranteed safe for the gluten intolerant. Gourmets may not get as much out of it, or those with a decided aversion to Mexican- and Asian-influenced cuisine, but for yours truly, it's pretty much a perfect fit.
