Ms. Hagman's three Gluten-Free Gourmet cookbooks have been a godsend to me. Not only have I been happy with all of her recipes, but I have learned from her cookbooks how to experiment with various gluten-free flours to adapt favorite recipes to be "safe" for me on a more restricted diet. _More from the Gluten-Free Gourmet_ is Ms. Hagman's second book, and the first in which she offers recipes to be made in a bread machine. I would strongly recommend purchasing all three of her cookbooks, but if one only wants to buy - or to start with - one book, I feel that this would be the most helpful one. Enjoy!

Thank you, Thank you Bette Hagman for taking your disease and making such a wonderful contribution to the rest of the world. I have a husband and now a nephew that both need the gluten free programs, except when I first started with my husband most doctors did not have a clue what we were dealing with. I even went to a dietician at the hospital and she walked away with 3 pages of information, and I had nothing,I just paid the office fee. I made up a lot of things on my own but until I found Bette; I could never seem to find a way to put bread back into his diet. Now he eats everything just like the rest of the world. We are so fortunate that now this disease is more well known and how it is affecting at least 1 out of 250 people, makes Bette Hagman more important than ever. I have all of her books and they go with me everywhere. What a blessing, it has made life so much more for those that are suffering.

I purchased this book shortly after being diagnosed with Celiac Disease a disorder that requires a drastic change in diet. The Celiac is not able to have any wheat, rye, oats or barley,(GLUTEN containing grains). The diaticians in my area of Maine were only able to provide me with 3-4 pages of information and recipes on a diet I must maintain for life. This book has been a lifesaver. The foods are easy to prepare and tasty enough that my gluten eating family members enjoy the meals and breads I make

If a celiac wants to avoid the ghastly annoyance of gluten hidden in foods of which you cannot find out what's in it, this book is a bible for us.

We haven't had a "wheat substitute" aftertaste from Bette Hagman's recipes. Her books are the gold standard in living with wheat/gluten sensitivity, and she doesn't use just one substitute flour mix. Also she educates on Celiac disease and issues around wheat sensitivity that impresses my wife, who is an RN. My favorite RN states that Bette Hagman has done more for wheat sufferers than anyone else she knows of, medical or laymen.

We were looking for more basic recipes. Shrimp never graces our table and we just had different needs than this book meets. But my low rating may be way off for your eating habits.
We much prefer the otehr books in the series.
Bette's Tapioca bread is a staple at our house.

My mom has celiac disease so I am always looking for great gluten-free recipes that we all can eat. I also have 3 young kids, (2, 4, 6) that are picky eaters so finding recipes that everyone will and can eat is sometimes tricky. Great cookbook for our whole family. Highly recommended!

Bette's first book of gluten-free gourmet cooking was a God send to me and my family but this book is even MORE of the same high quality gluten-free recipes from Bette Hagman. Thank you, Bette!

After going gluten free a year ago, I thought I'd never bake anything good again. But this book and its predecessor, The Gluten-free Gourmet, changed my mind! Because I'm also sugar free, baking is an extra large challenge. But these recipes along with xylitol sweetener have gotten me back in business. What a great find! Thanks, Bette!

I was looking for bread and dough recipes, but found more meals. I was pleasantly surprised with the tasty variety.
