Summary: Finally!
Review: Finally, a gluten-free cookbook with recipes for 2002! I was diagnosed at age 30 with Celiac Disease, and sorely missed my old way of eating. The first Gluten/Wheat free books I purchased seemed to have recipes from the 70's like tuna casserole, etc. (open a can of gluten free mushroom soup and pour it over gluten-free pasta, UGH!) I didn't eat that way before my diagnosis, and certainly didn't want to start. Also, I enjoy entertaining and it is important to me that when I cook for others, no one but me knows that the food is gluten-free. This cookbook features recipes I can serve my friends & family members with pride. For instance I served the blueberry muffins at a baby shower, and baked them for neighborhood firefighters to rave reviews. The last time I made the cornbread, there were no leftovers because my non-celiac friends all ate second and third helpings. If you are looking for recipes featuring FRESH seasonal ingredients, then this is the cookbook for you. I can't recommend it enough!

Summary: THE BEST GF BOOK EVER.
Review: I've been cooking GF for 6 years, and for most of that time I could improvise recipies that were MUCH better than the usual GF cookbooks. But someone made the leap forward! The baked goods in this book use the state of the art flour combinations that allow you to make cookies, muffins, pizza crust, even TORTILLAS (!!!) that are EXACTLY the texture and flavor of wheat. No one even knows they are GF until you can't help yourself and start bragging :D But this marvelous book doesn't stop there. Every entree is THE BEST entree of its kind I've ever cooked or eaten. All sections of the book, from entrees to breakfast to desserts to baked goods has a wide range of recipies - from "basic staples of your menu" to "Blow the Socks off your guests at the Christmas Party or wedding!" This is delightful, as most cook books are either too simple to use for entertaining or too fancy for every day. Honestly if you only ever buy ONE GF cookbook, give these people your money. Its the only one you'll ever need.

Summary: Every recipe in the book I have tried has been great!
Review: My youngest daughter had to go gluten-free last year. It was difficult to make that transition for her. She wanted what her friends had. Finally, I am able to do that for her with this book. Wonderful recipes, easy to make baked goods, the list goes on. My husband likes the gf brownies in this book as well or better than homemade regular brownies. I love some of the stews. I just can't say enough about this book. I am so glad I got it. We can eat well again.
