“Shepard is one of the big names in gluten-free baking…Readers—especially those with multiple food allergies—are in for a treat with this book.”
Denver Post, 12/14
“Solid cookbooks for those avoiding the protein common to wheat, rye and barley (and fairly common in most processed foods) are still a mere trickle—and many of them focus on baked goods and breads. Not so in Jules E. Dowler Shepard's Free For All Cooking, which has a thick section on main dishes and vegetable sides. The book also caters to those not only avoiding gluten, but also dairy, nuts, soy, or eggs. For example, Dowler Shepard has a dozen formulas for egg substitutes—and then suggests which will work best in each recipe. Fish sticks? Check. Soft pretzels? Done. She's got holiday cooking covered, too.”
