Quick-Fix Gluten Free [Paperback]

Robert Landolphi (Author)

Book Description

Release date: August 23, 2011

With 100 quick-fix dishes from professional chef and gluten-free expert Robert Landolphi, gluten-free has never been so easy—or delicious.

Gluten-free professional chef Robert M. Landolphi proves that a gluten-free lifestyle doesn't have to be bland and boring, labor-intensive, or time consuming inside Quick-Fix Gluten Free. In preparation for his follow-up to Gluten Free Every Day Cookbook, Landolphi queried fans about their biggest gluten-free challenges and created Quick-Fix Gluten Free in response to the dishes.

Divided into nine sections delving into everything from appetizers and breakfast to hearty, internationally inspired dishes, fan favorite comfort foods and decadent sweets and treats, Quick-Fix Gluten Free offers 100 fast and easily prepared recipes for crave-worthy dishes like Cinnamon Dusted French Toast, Kickin' Paella, Gnocchi with Roasted Garlic Butter and Parmesan Cheese, and Aunt Lil's Rich and Creamy Cheesecake. With a focus on fast, fresh and flavorful, these contemporary dishes are simple enough for everyday meals and delicious enough to serve to anyone--whether they are on a gluten-free diet or not.

Whether your choice to live gluten free is driven by the desire to lose weight, comply with a celiac diet, the need to avoid wheat because of mild allergies or the suspected link between gluten and autism, Quick-Fix Gluten Free proves that once-taboo foods like crusty breads, creamy pastas and indulgent cakes are no longer off-limits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious recipes and Valuable Information August 22, 2011

My son was recently diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity, and is a very picky eater. I made him the chicken Romano, and the Black Bean Brownies, and he came back for seconds. I love how the author put an entire glossary in the back explaining all the gluten free flours, and staple ingredients. He also has an entire substiution chart for those looking to avoid dairy, and other ingredients. Great Find!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gluten Free food with Flavor August 20, 2011

I bought Chef Rob's first book a couple years ago, and it saved my families life. I just picked up Quick fix gluten Free, and he has done it again. Gluten free food full of flavor. I love the variety he packed into this book. Most gluten books are all baking, but this book is packed full of breakfast recipes, appetizers, international flavors, comfort foods, etc, etc. I made the Chicken Fingers with sweet and sour sauce for my kids and they loved them. The molasses flax sandwich bread is amazing, and the pretzel crusted tilapia is delicious.
I can't wait to try the swedish meatballs and baked stuffed shrimp for the holidays.....

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a GREAT Gluten Free cookbook! October 26, 2011

Chef Landolfi has done it again! This cookbook is much more than a cookbook - Yes, it serves as a treasure trove of mouth watering recipes that are sure to rock the house, but it also serves as a very informative source of gluten free wisdom and lore. It offers an extremely wide variety of dishes and that are wonderful in and of themselves. But, they also serve as a great springboard for inventive versions for more of the meat free and dairy free folks too. Those of us who have a family to feed (or a party to prepare for) that includes ones that are not gluten free will find many options that can keep everyone happy with a tasty and healthy meal that one does not need to slave over.
