User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars No so quick and easy
I bought this book because I needed to find other choices, especially preparing my own bread.
The book has a lot of recipes but they are complicated. To prepare a bread they referred to other preparations in different pages, and those preparations require several ingredients.
Another thing is that the book does not have any picture so that we can see how the results are going to be, and make us feel that we can eat delicious thing even gluten free.
5 Stars Great Eats
This book is great. We tried other cook books for gluten free diet and this is one of the best. I would highly recommend it for those who need to be gluten free.

5 Stars Use it all the time
The recipes are fairly simple to make, love the flour mixes, and the foods are tasty for being gluten-free. I’m still getting used to this new way of eating and miss my whole wheat. But I feel much better and this cookbook makes it possible.
5 Stars Practical, helpful meals – love this book!
I get a little skeptical ordering books that claim to be “quick and easy” especially when it says it’s also “gluten free.” This cookbook has been great. I’ve had it about 2 weeks, read a bunch of the beginning and made 2 of the meals. The roasted chicken and the Chinese Lemon Chicken are delicious and easy. These recipes satisfy our allergy needs AND the satisfy my husband’s taste buds. A great combination!
