More About the Author

You may know me as a mom, a wife, a friend, a magazine editor, a cookbook author or even a former bakery owner. If we haven't met yet, hello, my name is Silvana. I am the mother of two awesome kids, Isaiah, 13, and Chiara, 3. At age 10, Isaiah was diagnosed with gluten intolerance. Ever since, I've worked to keep my fridge--and my family's stomachs--full, the way only a mom knows how, with patience and plenty of good food. The truth is whether you're gluten-free or gluten-full, you don't have to change how you eat or what you eat. Your food can look great and taste even better than you could ever imagine.

I'm the founding editor-in-chief of Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine, where I'm also the "No-Recipe Zone" and "Sweet Spot" columnist. I also co-authored Saveur Cooks Authentic Italian and have worked for Food & Wine magazine. I previously owned an Italian bakery called Fanciulla. I've appeared on NBC "Weekend Today," WCBS "News This Morning" and WABC "Eyewitness News This Morning" and Food Network's "Roker on the Road." I've been featured in The New York Times and New York magazine. I grew up eating really good food, thanks to my mom and dad, but also my grandfather, who all share this passion.

This review is from: Cooking for Isaiah: Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Recipes for Easy Delicious Meals (Hardcover)

I've been gluten free for about 9 years now, and I can't tell you how many recipes and flour combinations I have tried - mostly without success, at least in the bread department. I wasn't sure about buying another gluten free cookbook, but decided to try it out anyway. I wanted to make the pizza first since bread recipes are the hardest (in my humble opinion) to re-create gluten free. The pizza was delicious and has been the first gluten free bread that I have tried that actually emulates its wheat counterparts. Buy the book! I'm sure you won't be disappointed. There is a wide variety of recipes: pizza, doughnuts, risotto, pumpkin dumplings, coffee cake, etc.

I love the recipes for the pancakes. I have tried other pancake recipes, but they are always "off" texture wise, but Silvana's pancakes have the right texture & crumb! I can't wait to try the pizza and the taco recipes!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for Gluten Free, September 11, 2010

This review is from: Cooking for Isaiah: Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Recipes for Easy Delicious Meals (Hardcover)

My book arrived as promised. It is an outstanding cookbook for gluten/dairy free cooking. The fact that the author is a "cook" and her son is the gluten free person made this book of recipes delicious. We've used many of the recipes using her flour formula already. The brownies were out of this world. Hopefully, the author will create and share more recipes.
