I just got this book in and it is fantastic. All of it sounds tempting and delicious! I have finished reading it cover to cover and passed it along to my Mother, who also suffers from Celiac, and she also likes this book. Lots of new and different ideas from the ordinary GF cookbook.

4.0 out of 5 stars my daughter's special diet ..., May 27, 2007

This review is from: Gluten-Free Gourmet Desserts and Baked Goods (Paperback)

How wonderful that this book is helping to open our minds to a better way of taking care of our health in a fun way.

I have learned so much about alternative (and much healthier!) products by reading and preparing recipes from this book.

My 12 year old daughter thinks it's great that she can have a special diet and still prepare and enjoy fancy French treats and even share them with others.

KUDOS!!!
