Summary: Quickly became a fan of Roben Ryberg's style of cooking
Review: Although I'm grateful for all those out there that have published a GF cookbook for those of us with gluten intolerance, I find this book offers several benefits over the others. I didn't realize how grainy my rice flour recipes tasted until I tried Roben's Pumpkin Bread, Egg Bread, and Hot Crossed Bun recipes. And even though the consistency was different than I was used to with gluten cooking, the recipes I tried turn out perfectly the first time. It's important to follow the recipes exactly and trust the measurements given. A GF friend of mine also loves the Buttermilk Bread and I plan on trying that next. My gluten-eating friends enjoyed the Pumpkin Bread as much as I did too. Another benefit is that the ingredients are much easier to find and less intimidating so other people that don't usually cook gluten-free are asking for the recipes so they can make something for me too. Thank you, Ms. Ryberg!

Summary: Finally, baked goods I can make!!
Review: I have been cooking a gluten free dairy free diet for my son for more than two years and had all together given up on bakery type items. Every one I tried had too many unusual flours and was too much work.
Since my son has recently taken a liking to baking, I picked this book up and couldn't be happier with it.
The recipes are easy, have few ingredients, and simple steps so my three year old and I can make them together.
So far, we have had great luck with every recipe.
This book makes doing a gluten free diet seem like much less work and expense, and the look on my sons face when he tasted the snickerdoodles ( hes never eaten any cookie like them) was priceless.
Good luck and if you think this diet is too hard, try cooking out of this book for a while--the thought of me making donuts was laughable until I started using this book!!

Summary: Bless Roben Ryberg!!!!!!!!!
Review: I just found out I was allergic to wheat, so - of course - I spent alot of time on the web looking for information on wheat allergies. I went to the Gluten Free Pantry website and was so discouraged by the prices of their mixes and the myriad of products. I was confused and despondent. Then I went to Amazon to try to find some books to help me. Luckily I found The Gluten Free Kitchen! This book has saved my sanity and lifted me from the depths of despair.
Roben Ryberg gives you the information you need to know, without going into more detail than you want to know. Short and simple - easy to understand - she removes the fear. Then she gives you the receipes that will change your life back to (almost) normal. Simple receipes with simple ingredients. Ingredients that you can buy at a health food store. Delicious bread that you can make - quickly and easily - so that you can enjoy a sandwich or toast again! What a relief! What luxury!
I love this book!! Can you tell?

Summary: I'll Use It Over and Over Again
Review: I was so pleased to find this book! Imagine a gluten-free cookbook that doesn't use rice flour! I love the fact that most of the recipe instructions simply say, 'blend all ingredients' together rather than having numerous steps to follow. This cookbook covers everything "From French Toast to Fried Chicken". I'll be cooking from this book for years to come.

Summary: GREAT BOOK!
Review: If you have allergies to more than just gluten then you will love this book! My son has allergies to wheat, barley, rye, dairy, and peanuts and there are some really good recipes in here. Try the coffee cake!!

Summary: Great book
Review: If you have to do gluten-free baking, this is the book. I have gluten-free baking books by another author but the recipes are more complicated than they need to be. Roben has turned gluten-free into very tasty. This is my favorite gluten-free cookbook. I am hoping she will write another!

Summary: Great tasting recipes!
Review: My cousin found this book in our local Rochester, NY grocery store (Wegmans). I have tried the snickerdoodles, lemon cookie bars, and apple crisp. DIVINE! Most GF recipes call for rice flour, which often turns baked goods into crumbly messes that don't have a "normal" consistency. My only suggestion is to watch the fat/cholesterol content. Many of the dessert recipes call for at least a 1/2 cup of shortening. But the book is great alternative for those sick of using/cannot find unusual flours.

Summary: Most dog-eared cookbook in my gluten-free collection!
Review: My non-celiac family literally inhaled the rolls last night at dinner (I baked them in mini-muffin tins to create tiny "pop-overs"). They were light, moist, and tasty.This book provides a wonderful alternative to grainy rice flour recipes. I've had great success with the biscuits and breads. The trick is to use very fresh ingredients. I use Clabber girl "not genetically modified" corn starch. The one time I used corn starch that'd been in the cupboard for a year, the biscuits were flat and hard. This is a great resource for those of us with non-celiac families who want to make gluten-free foods that everyone likes to eat (who has time to cook two dinners?!).
