Review

Bake Deliciously! Gluten and Dairy Free provides a wealth of information about many different ingredients. It is a good reference book that answers many questions. It meets many markets for special needs including vegan. I really like the photos of the products using different ingredients to give the user an idea what happens when you alter a product s ingredients. The book offers a wide variety of baked goods, breads and breakfast items which will leave the consumer satisfied with many delicious choices that are comparable to traditional recipes. The photos of the products look appetizing and enticing to prepare. --Renee Zonka, CEC, RD, CHE, MBA, Associate Dean of Culinary/Kendall College Horizons

Bake Deliciously! Gluten and Dairy Free will make you reevaluate what you thought you knew about GFCF diets!

With Jeans guidance, the GFCF lifestyle can be one that provides infinite food choices as well as a more healthful way of life for all involved. --Kelly Gilpin, Editorial Director, Future Horizons

Bake Deliciously!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than traditional recipes!, July 1, 2009

This book is full of great recipes that will be hits with family and friends who are NOT on restricted diets. I brought the Almond Apricot Bundt Cake (pg 44) to a dinner party where no one had any dietary restrictions, and everyone had 2nd servings. I was coerced into leaving it behind in exchange for two bottles of wine! I probably could have negotiated for more ;-) This book is a must for anyone trying to please a mixed crowd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bake Deliciously Recipe a big hit at a party!, June 9, 2009

This review is from: Bake Deliciously! Gluten and Dairy Free Cookbook (Paperback)

I brought a batch of Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars(pg 77) to a party. Two of my friends in attendance maintain a gluten-free diet. Upon arrival I placed the bars on the table with the other desserts and went off to find them. I had brought the book and as we were talking and looking at the recipes some the other guests began to come over. They had eaten the bars and absolutely loved them and wanted the recipe. I explained that I had made them gluten-free so our gluten-free friends could enjoy a sweet treat too. They replied," Well they better get over there fast there are only 3 left." Seriously they were the first treat gone!

This review is from: Bake Deliciously! Gluten and Dairy Free Cookbook (Paperback)

This cookbook is a delight for anyone who wants to prepare sweets for the sweet! These baked goods are not only delicious, they are beautiful as well! Jean definitely understands how presentation of these baked goods is as important as the taste -- and she excells on both counts.
Her recipes focus on whole grains and natural, pure ingredients so you can't feel guilty about eating any of the beautiful cakes, cookies, pies and desserts.

My favorite section is Breakfast. Breakfast is the hardest meal and she offers so many wonderful alternatives. This is really a great cookbook and I highly recommend it.
