5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a gluten free cookbook March 15, 2012

By mtnlady

Format:Paperback

I've used many different gluten free cookbooks since being diagnosed with celiac disease over 20 years ago. Most had a few recipes I liked and many I didn't. What makes The Healthy Gluten-Free Life cookbook unusual is that I've liked every recipe I've tried so far. One of my biggest hurdles has been making the same food, such as chicken, taste different each time I cook it. The sauces, seasonings and dressings that Tammy uses for entrees and salads has helped solve my problem. They are excellent, but not difficult to make.

This is not just a gluten free cookbook. Anyone with intolerances to gluten, dairy, soy or eggs will find this cookbook a great help. I've never cooked without eggs and was skeptical about eliminating them from my baked goods. I've made Lemon Poppy Seed cakes, shortcake and snickerdoodles. They were just as good as those made with real eggs.

Tammy has included descriptions of flours, starches, sweeteners, oils and fats plus substitutions for eggs and dairy. Her kitchen tips will help you save time and money. There is also a short list of resources at the end. This book is a feast for the eyes. The pictures will makes you want to run to your kitchen and start cooking immediately. That's what I did and I'm delighted with the results.

The only suggestions I have are for the publisher. I found it was difficult to read the fractions in the recipes as they were so small. A larger font would be much easier to see. I would also add an index that was alphabetical. The picture index was nice, but it was by page number so it took too long to find what I wanted.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Only Cookbook I Use! March 15, 2012

By R. Warne

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

My husband and I decided to try a gluten-free diet for a brief time to see how our bodies would react. We are very conscious of our health and are always striving to improve on that. My intent is to stay gluten-free as long as my body performs well while I train for certain fitness competitions. I have been dairy-free for almost a year and have certainly felt better in regards to my allergies and more so with my total body fat percentage. I figured dairy-free and gluten-free go hand in hand so to speak. We are fortunate that we have not been diganosed with Celiac disease. And we are certain not make light of people that struggle with this awful disease. I ran across this cookbook while on Facebook and saw the fan page. After reading it, and reading the reviews here on Amazon I decided to order the book without hesitation. Much to my delight, this is a beautifully written cookbook. Not only for the delicious and nutritious recipes, but for the back history of this particular family. I love knowing what flours are the best for your body all the while not being stripped of their nutrients. I've learned a great deal from this book. I have tried many of the recipes, seasoning rubs, salad dressings, etc. and without fail they are truly awesome! My most favorite recipe to date is the The Famous Celiac Maniac English Muffins!! These are a family favorite as well. My main goal is to provide delicious and nutritious meals knowing every ingredient that is being used for my family.....and this cookbook helps me succeed!

I LOVE this Cookbook! Beautiful pictures with each recipe, easy to follow instructions, informational, and HUGE!! This cookbook has already gotten a workout in my kitchen. Each and every recipe I have tried so far has gotten excellent reviews from all members of the family! Tammy has taken the guess work out of what could be a challenging time for anyone new to the Gluten-free world and for those that have no food intolerance, this is just an all around excellent cookbook with delicious main dishes, sides, sauces, etc. The recipes are family AND budget friendly. Real food, that tastes good and can be prepared in your own home kitchen. Great job!!
