All you need to make simple, delicious, and naturally gluten-free meals

Slow cookers are lifesavers for busy cooks. But if you follow a gluten-free diet - due to celiac disease, gluten intolerance, wheat allergies, or simply for health reasons - slow cooking can be a challenge. That's because many recipes don't thicken properly without flour, noodles, or some other wheat-containing derivative. Enter: The Everything Gluten-Free Slow Cooker Cookbook.

Inside, you'll find delicious gluten-free recipes such as:

• Pull-Apart Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits
• Breakfast Risotto
• Pineapple Teriyaki Drumsticks
• Bacon Corn Chowder
• Spicy Vegetarian Chili
• Chicken Alfredo Pasta
• Sausage and Shrimp Jambalaya
• Curried Coconut Chicken
• Barbecue Western Ribs
• Blueberry Cobbler
• Right-Side-Up Pineapple Cake

Complete with an array of gluten-free options, specialized slow-cooking tips, and advice on eliminating wheat derivatives, this fun and fresh cookbook has everything you need to create healthy, delicious meals - without spending all day in the kitchen!

5.0 out of 5 stars I didn't know I could do so much with a slow cooker. September 15, 2012

By Pamela Malouf

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Who knew?

The first thing that struck me about this book was how comprehensive it is. Carrie Forbes covers what to look for in a slow cooker, recommended sizes, suggestions for care, a wide variety of strategies, and also just about every food I could think of to put in one, plus a few more. Oh! and they're all gluten-free!

I've been a fan of the slow cooker for as long as I can remember. I use them year-round and own several. Still, I'd never thought of salmon fillets or blackberry preserves as options for my trusty Crock Pot. For all these years, the only thing I have really done with mine, aside from hot cider in fall, is long, slow cooking. And I must confess, my favorite recipe in this book so far, Dijon Beef Roast, is one of those longer-cooking recipes. What can I say? I just love recipes like this with moist, tender meat and the possibility of leftovers for lunch the next day.

Still, I have had such fun playing with Ms. Forbes' recipes that take only two hours. I have never done that before. It's created a whole new way of looking at these little machines. Now I want all sizes. I think I may have to order more.

Of course, many of us for whom gluten-free is crucial, are really in for another treat. It's so nice to have all these options, breakfasts, desserts, breads, and main dishes of all sorts, that are safe for us and won't cost a week's wages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for anyone! October 6, 2012

By Liz@Gluten Free Galley

Format:Paperback

I have always been a fan of my slow cooker. As a business owner and mother of two, it comes in handy more than I even thought it would. But this new book has blown my mind! I have used my slow cooker in ways I never imagined... desserts for family gatherings, breakfasts to get my husband through the week, even drink recipes! I honestly had never thought to use a slow cooker other than the usual dinner prep.

What I love even more about this book is that it's perfect for ANYONE! Whether you need to be gluten-free or not (which we are, so added bonus!)the book is an amazing tool! The ingredients are not things that are difficult to find, which is often the case with gluten-free replacements. If you are not gluten-free, it's easy enough to use regular pasta, flour or bread and have an amazing dish.

Whether you know how to cook or are just starting, this book is perfect! I highly recommend it and plan on buying copies for friends and family. Thank you, Carrie, for such a fun and useful kitchen tool!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a slow cooker cookbook for gluten free families November 15, 2012

By K. Marks

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have so many cookbooks, each with "sections" I like and am always searching for a cookbook that I love. I love to use my slow cooker, it's quick, easy and in the winter a wonderful way to cut down on time. This cookbook is wonderful and just what I have been looking for. From easy 5 ingredient or less meals, yummy maple pumpkin spice lattes and wonderful stews...it is everything we needed. Every mom is busy, but wants to get a good meal for her family and thankfully this cookbook aids in that. Many in our family also have a dairy sensitivity and I was overjoyed to see easy tips at the bottom to make these recipes GFDF also. I really hope Carrie Forbes makes another simple, easy to follow gluten free cookbook here soon.
