5.0 out of 5 stars A gift from the heart, July 29, 2007

Every recipe I have tried from this well-designed and informative cookbook has been absolutely delicious, especially the rich chocolate truffle brownies and the blueberry yogurt muffins. The texture is moist and melt-in-your mouth yummy.
I believe this author went not just the extra mile to help her gluten-intolerant daughter thrive, but went an extra 100 miles to experiment and create quality, convenient gluten-free flours for a reasonable price. Now everyone can be blessed by her hard work.
This cookbook is a very worthwhile gift from the heart of a loving mother.

5.0 out of 5 stars need to eat, November 11, 2007

This review is from: Gluten Free Mama's Best Baking Recipes (Paperback)

I have been baking for 30 years, now that we are wheat free family of 7, I find mixing one blend after another takes time away from all the other things I have to do and lots of refrigerator space. That being said , the cookbook is basic, the recipes , good. I have made several of them. There is lot of advice , that if you are new to this , would be helpful and lets face it , when you can't have wheat , you need to be able to cook. The flour blend is worth every cent, and really , I did not think it was more expensive than buying all the other flours and mixing the blends. I think everyone who sells food and cookbooks is making a profit, or at least hope they are, so I am not certain what the objections the other reviewer had,had to do with the cookbook. ( Even people with sick kids need to pay the bills). This lady has done a great job with the blend. It is packaged in a nice zipper bag , with an exp. date .. ..and I use it fast enough that it doesn't have to be refrigerated. I also have used the blend in other recipes , with great results, so for us , this is a winner. (I can't wait until Amazon decides to carry it ).

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely pleased with book and flour blends, July 30, 2007

I am so pleased with this book and the recipes. I have already passed it on to friends and shared it with my local health food store.

While I understand the point a previous poster made concerning the use of the author's flour blends in the recipes, I never felt the author was pushing her own products. It makes complete sense that she can't guarantee the outcome if you use something different. However, she NEVER condemns using other mixes. I felt the whole point of the book was to help make gluten-free living easier. I am very thankful she is producing premixed flour blends. I am all for finding products that make gluten-free living easier. In fact, the owner of the health food store is hoping to stock the flour blends. She said there is a definite market and they would fly off the shelf.
