Book Description

April 12, 2011
This book’s philosophy is simple—anyone can make great food that is naturally gluten-free. While there are gluten-free products out there that try to substitute for glutenized food, Simply...Gluten-Free Desserts gives cooks and bakers terrific new recipes for food that is naturally gluten-free, offering an amazing variety of choices for taste desserts and sweets.
     Carol Kicinski also shows how easy it is to make your own gluten-free flours, and she includes many recipes that don't require wheat substitutions.  This means that a lot of the recipes are not only gluten-free, but grain-free as well.  Many of the desserts are also dairy- and even sugar-free--without ever sacrificing flavor.
     Simply...Gluten-free Desserts celebrates the abundance of delicious recipes that can be made and enjoyed by anyone who is gluten intolerant.  While at first living gluten-free can seem challenging, the results of good health, vigor, and energy can make the challenge highly rewarding.  And with this book, a luten-free diet doesn't mean giving up on those delicious desserts.
 
Includes luscious recipes for:
• No-Bake Chocolate Truffle Cake
• Coconut Cupcakes 
• Red Velvet Whoopie Pies
• Dairy-Free Cream Puffs
• Frozen Tiramisu
And much more!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"You're in for a real treat with Simply . . . Gluten-free Desserts. There is a tremendous breadth of variety; something to try for every occasion, including just a treat for yourself ater a long day.  Enjoy!"
--Dr. Vicki Peterson, author of The Gluten Effect
 
"Kicinski offers recipes for virtually all the desserts that so many people with celiac disease have given up."
--Today's Diet & Nutrition
 
"Enticing photographs and out-of-the-ordinary recipes."
--The Record (New Jersey)
 
"There are plenty of desserts that don't contain gluten products, and those form the backbone of this book. Dishes like Mochaccino Mousse, Mexican Chocolate Cake With Cinnamon Whipped Cream, and Rhubarb Fool are among them; it also means that many of the desserts are grain free."
--San Francisco Chronicle
 
"I found myself dog-earing recipe after recipe of tempting treats. What really drew me in was that 60 percent of the recipes are naturally gluten-free."
--Laura Byrne Russell, The Oregonian 
 
"Simply . . . Gluten-Free Desserts is all about accessibility. Her recipes tend toward the classic--think peanut butter cookies, s'mores, and molten lava cakes--and require only basic baking knowledge. And if you're unsure about anything, a technique or ingredient, the front of the book includes practical guidelines on both."
--Epicurious

More About the Author

Carol Kicinski founded Simply...Gluten Free in 2007 as a gluten-free recipe and lifestyle blog and website. Its purpose is to educate, assist and inspire those with celiac disease or intolerance to gluten, dairy, peanut, grain or other allergy elements, or those with vegan preferences. To date, she has motivated millions to live HAPPY allergen-free lives!

Carol's core philosophy is "Look at the world of food in terms of what I CAN eat - not what I can't!"

Her recipe motto is "Gluten-free recipes that are not just "good for gluten-free" but just plain GOOD, period!!"

In 2010 Carol started the highly successful Gluten-free Global Community - putting hundreds of gluten-free bloggers World Wide in communication with each other. She also pioneered "gluten-free" in China in 2009.

Carol is America's first gluten-free (only) TV Chef with a monthly segment on the NBC Tampa market based nationally syndicated show Daytime where she has appeared since July 2009. (Daytime is nationally syndicated to 1.1 million households.)

Her cookbook, Simply...Gluten Free Desserts, (Thomas Dunne Books, 2011) is rich with 150 delectable recipes for cupcakes, cookies, pies, sweet breads, puddings, cakes and ice creams - all gf and many dairy-free as well.

Carol's current recipe development and consultant client list includes the Western Pistachio Association, the Northwest Pear Bureau, The National Cherry Institute, Kinnikinnick, Wholesome Sweeteners, Sunbutter, Solo Foods, Follow Your Heart, Nature's Earthly Choice, and others.

She recently completed contributing recipe development for Cooking Light - The Gluten-Free Cookbook: Simple Food Solutions for Everyday Meals (Cooking Light, 2011).

Carol also developed her own high quality pastry gluten-free flour blend that TASTES and BAKES like regular flour.

In a professional career prior to her recipe development, Carol was ahead of the sustainable energy curve as she was the Financial Controller for a $32M Solar Corporation.

As a humanitarian and adventurer, Carol has assisted the National Red Cross around the world and was one of the first responders at Katrina's Central Command assisting the troops.

She's lived to tell about being charged by elephants and rhinos (literally) and has dived with Great White sharks in Africa.

Fun, interesting and adventurous, Carol's most rewarding passion is making "that great recipe" and having someone else make it, and love it!

My husband is gluten free and I am not and I am often disappointed in the taste of certain gluten free products. Carol's flour blend and her recipes are amazing and you can't even tell that you are eating gluten free! The cheesecake recipe is AMAZING - best cheesecake I have EVER had...EVER.
Such a good selection of dessert recipes, I have no reason to ever bake with gluten again!
