3.0 out of 5 stars Simple recipes, but what gluten-free flour are they using? March 24, 2012

By Jean M. Layton

Format:Paperback

The dip and condimenrs chapter in this book is enough for me to give it a place on my bookcase, they're that simple and good.
I was baking one of the muffin recipes when I realized the biggest drawback to this book. The authors are Australian, and must have some amazing groceries available to them. I haven't seen gluten-free self rising flour here in the USA , but I wish we did have it.
Others of the recipes work like a charm, so this would be a great book for teaching kids to prepare foods for themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cookbook for those needing SIMPLE recipes May 21, 2012

By jlacy1987

My husband was diagnosed with Celiac about 6 months ago. I am not a very good cook, so it was difficult to make very good gluten free meals. I stumbled upon this cookbook and figured that even I couldn't screw up 4 ingredients or less. I decided to pre-order it and I love this cookbook. There is a very large variety of foods and it even has a Kids section and Baby section, which I think is great. Some of the recipes are overly simple, but it's great because it still brings to mind things that I would've never thought to do myself. I highly recommend this book, especially to people who aren't really good cooks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love love love this book! April 3, 2012

By Susola

Format:Paperback

My local Whole Foods market was having a gluten-free vendors demonstration night. I went to the back of the store and met these two fabulous ladies, who were doing demonstrations of the recipes from this book. Their chocolate cherry yogurt bars were amazing! I was so thrilled to meet them and to try their recipes that I bought the book instantly. The recipes are great. One of the biggest problems with gluten-free cooking is how complicated it can be. But these authors have the easiest and most delicious recipes. They make living gluten-free less deprivational and more rich and flavorful!

I purchased this book as I am eating a heathier lifestyle! I don't like to cook, so working with fewer ingredients is great for me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good recipes, not particularly awe-inspiring though July 15, 2012

By Rock

Format:Paperback

I've been gluten-free for several years now and it's getting old pretty quickly. I got this in the hopes that it would inspire me with some new recipes and get me back on top of my food sensitivities diet.

So, here are the upsides. Yes, all the recipes have four ingredients as promised. I agree that it is refreshing to see a GF cookbook where the ingredient list doesn't take up an entire page. In fact, almost all the ingredients are easy to get, with the exception of the self-rising flours or some of the GF pastas. I also feel they have a great range of recipes including quick breakfasts to dinners and desserts, not to mention a section on feeding children and babies.

On the other hand, do I feel particularly inspired to make anything? Not really. Most of the recipes are standard fair with the elimination of gluten-y ingredients. Another note: if you have multiple sensitivities, especially any kind of lactose/casein sensitivity, this is not the book for you--it seems a great majority of the recipes involve some form of dairy (often cheese).

In the end, I think I will end up referring to this on nights when I can't figure out what I want. I will definitely be adding more ingredients to the recipes (particularly the soups) but this cookbook seems to be a great jumping-off point for dinners and lunches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Recipe Book.... June 17, 2013

I was put on a Gluten-Free diet several months ago by my doctor to help my Lyme Disease. I was at a total loss of what to cook as so many GF books have recipes with a long and complicated list of ingredients which can be difficult to find. This book has simple ingredients and tasty recipes which can serve as a base or be made as is. I am enjoying this book!
