From the Inside Flap

If you or someone you love has wheat allergies, gluten intolerance, or celiac disease, then you know how hard it is to prepare tasty, worry-free meals. From breads and pastas to cakes and pies, many favorite foods typically contain wheat, the most common source of gluten—not to mention the many prepared and packaged foods (from dressings to seasonings) that may also contain gluten. Now, gluten-free cooking authority Carol Fenster has written the biggest, most comprehensive gluten-free cookbook ever—a resource you'll turn to again and again for recipes, inspiration, and advice.

Carol discovered that she was gluten intolerant two decades ago, and she has spent the time since developing gluten-free mealtime strategies and helping others make the transition to a gluten-free lifestyle. Carol has perfected the art of baking without wheat flour and learned to create delicious muffins, cakes, pies, and even yeast bread using sorghum flour, potato starch, and other safe ingredients. In 1,000 Gluten-Free Recipes, she shares her secrets and recipes for every meal. Many of the recipes are also vegetarian or quick-to-make and are highlighted with or symbols. Additionally, if you avoid dairy, Carol suggests ways to make the recipes with safe substitutes.

If you cook gluten-free meals, this cookbook is sure to become an indispensable kitchen companion. You'll discover recipes for every meal of the day and every occasion, from favorite foods you thought you would never be able to eat again to foods kids will love and elegant dishes for entertaining. Throughout the book, you'll find a wealth of detailed, practical advice on staples of the gluten-free kitchen, including tips on reliable brand-name products.

5.0 out of 5 stars shelf-worthy February 21, 2009

By Kathryn Gawne

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

I checked this book out from the library to test-drive it before giving it a place on my bookshelf. I was annoyed to see that her primary mix was not the usual rice-potato-tapioca mix, instead using sorghum-potato/corn-tapioca, but I had all the flours on-hand so I decided to mix it up and give it a try. I picked the hardest thing I could find (why waste time?): cut-out sugar cookies. I was flabbergasted. They were great. They kept their shape, and the texture and taste were wonderful: no grit! I made biscuits next (another difficult thing to make GF) and they were also great. The pizza crust recipe produces an actual DOUGH that you can pat out with your hands, not the usual batter that needs to be spread with a wet spatula. In the two weeks that I've had this book from the library, I've made seven baking recipes all with wonderful success, including the first loaf of GF bread that I've eaten plain.

It is a BIG book, and it has a bunch of non-baking recipes, which I don't think I'll use. For me, converting main-dish recipes to be GF is not difficult. The sections on baking are extensive, though, and in my opinion, that makes the book worth the price and worthy of a place on my shelf.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good cookbook but with a few problems February 22, 2009

By richone

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

This cookbook has lots of interesting recipes and the ones I have tried are good. However, I wish the instructions were more clear. The author makes some statements at times that are confusing to the inexperienced
new "gluten-free" cook, although not new to baking. For example, she suggests adding extra grains when baking bread but does not say how much to add and if you need to subtract other flours when doing so. One recipe had a complete step(adding the yeast and water) left out. I hate experimenting with expensive ingredients.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Cookbook Will Change Your GF Life November 15, 2008

By J. Armil

Format:Hardcover

What sets Carol Fenster and her 1,OOO Gluten-Free Recipes 1,000 Gluten-Free Recipes apart from others, is this: She delivers great taste, great texture, and maximum nutrition (something you already know is in short supply in most GF carbohydrates); her recipes and advice are geared to home cooking, i.e., your life and your kitchen; she makes suggestions for brand names of ingredients (this saves so much time!); she writes clearly so your dish will come out great every time (this saves time, money, and so much effort, not to mention the disappointment); her dishes please the most finicky eaters; and she notes alternative ingredients if you wish to make recipes dairy-free, vegan, etc.

Yes, there really are a thousand distinct recipes, but, no, it's not heavy. It is so all encompassing and astoundingly excellent that it'll spoil you for any other cookbook, except...Gluten-Free Quick and EasyGluten-Free Quick & Easy: From Prep to Plate Without the Fuss - 200+ Recipes for People with Food Sensitivities, Carol's 2007 cookbook that uses her unique Carol's-Flour-Blend-turned-into-mixes strategy. Both of these books are amazingly affordable and readily pay for themselves in saved time, effort and money.
