An updated, beautifully designed edition of the essential resource for people who cannot tolerate wheat or gluten.

With her four cookbooks, Bette Hagman has brought tasty food Whack into the lives of over one million people who are intolerant of the gluten in wheat, oats, barley, or rye, or who are allergic to wheat. The premier creator of delicious gluten-free fare, Hagman has spent more than twenty years developing recipes using special flours for pizza, pasta, breads, pies, cakes, and cookies. Containing over 200 recipes updated to include new flours, ingredients, and tips, the second edition of The Gluten-free Gourmet makes cooking gluten-free faster and more fulfilling than ever before. The Gluten-free Gourmet is more than just recipes, however. A complete sourcebook on how to live healthily with celiac disease or wheat intolerance, it features important new information on developing a celiac diet, raising a celiac child, avoiding hidden glutens, eating well while traveling or in the hospital, and locating and ordering from suppliers of gluten-free food and flour. This and Hagman's other books in the Gluten-free Gourmet series are recognized by health newsletters around the world as the best in this special diet category.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The more than 100,000 Americans allergic to wheat are usually deprived of Sourdough Bread, Butterscotch Brownies, and all the other favorite dishes Hagman has created without using gluten. Her recipes use flours other than wheat flour, but they are generally uncomplicated and quick to prepare--suitable even for those noncooks who have been craving their forbidden foods. There are few other cookbooks in this area; recommended for all special collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's my bible for gluten free cooking!!, July 4, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Gluten Free Gourmet: Living Well Without Wheat (Paperback)

When my husband was first diagnosed with Celiac-DH I bought this book to try to make some of the baked goodies we had been so accustomed to eating. The recipes are easy to follow, contain ingredients available at any health food store and taste as close to the "real thing" as can be possible. The selection of recipes cover every taste and lifestyle. She also gives tips for making up gluten free packages of all the little convenience food items we take for granted in the grocery store. A must for anyone cooking for a Celiac.

5.0 out of 5 stars You need all three of her books!, July 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Gluten Free Gourmet: Living Well Without Wheat (Paperback)

I was diagnosed as gluten intolerant about the time that Bette's first book was published. She guided me through the stages of grief ( how can I exist without wheat breads?) to a state of amazing health. I have eagerly bought and used each of her new books, but since she doesn't repeat herself, I still use many of the recipes from her original book. You need all three!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book saved my life., November 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Gluten Free Gourmet: Living Well Without Wheat (Paperback)

This book is perfect for the person whose medical advocate has told them simply, "Don't eat wheat." and, "Most people find this diet so difficult to follow that they don't succeed -- good luck." She shows hidden glutens in foods I thought were safe, and how to create dishes I enjoy. I learned so much I've regained my health.
