Incredible resource for those needing gluten-free foods July 16, 2003

This isn't only a cookbook, it's a complete resource for anyone who requires a gluten-free cookbook. If you are one of the millions of people with celiac sprue or other sensitivity to grains, this book will serve you well. The author has a very good understanding of the problems of avoiding wheat and gluten. She lists the commercial ingredients such as modified food starch, hydrolyzed vegetable protein that may be wheat in origin. She tells you how to read labels, and gives advice such as avoiding oatmeal which, though it has no gluten, may be processed in wheat facilities or have been grown with wheat and thus somewhat contaminated. The section on alternative grains like amaranth, quinoa, rice, wild rice, milo and sorghum is comprehensive.The recipes are for everything from pizza, breadsticks, foccacia to cakes, cookies, and other foods. The breadstick recipe tells you how to extrude the breadsticks from a hole in a plastic bag--a novel method easier than rolling dough for those tasty, crunchy snacks. The recipes frequently call for a flour mix recipe included in the book that substitutes for wheat flour. Even bread machines are covered. The book is well-written and an excellent resource for people with wheat and grain dietary restrictions. Highly recommended.
Great resource for the newly diagnosed celiac March 27, 2003

Gluten-Free 101 is a wonderful resource! I would have been thrilled to find this book right after I'd been diagnosed - how reassuring, plus it contains recipes for everything I couldn't figure out how to make (pizza, meat loaf, etc).
No One Will Ever Know! March 12, 2003

With this great cookbook, no one will ever guess that there's anything "missing" in the food. These recipes have great taste, great texture, great everything. The introductory material provides detailed information for using "new" ingredients. Many of the recipes provide alternative ingredients to help those who have multiple food sensitivities. In addition to the terrific recipes and lots of helpful hints, there are appendices with contacts, resources, and substitution information. This would be the first book I would give a newly diagnosed celiac.
