Wheat-Free Gluten-Free Dessert Cookbook offers 400 delicious recipes for cakes, tortes, cookies, dessert crepes, pies, fruit desserts, low-calorie desserts, puddings and more. All of them wheat and gluten free, designed specifically for those with wheat allergies or gluten intolerances. Wheat-Free Gluten-Free Dessert Cookbook also offers a list of gluten-free foods and food additives, as well as a page of "hints" on how to successfully convert wheat recipes into gluten-free recipes. Especially recommended for anyone suffering from Celiac Sprue disease, all the ingredients listed throughout this specialty cookbook have been approved by the Celiac Sprue Association and The National Center for Digestive Diseases.

Since my gluten-free regimen began after diagnosis for "intolerance"; I've sought nutritional direction and assistance with finding a new path for cooking. However, baking has never been high on my list of favorites, mostly because my own consumption of wheat flour-based desserts was never enjoyable and their creation just as unsatisfying. In this book, the ingredients, steps, methods and results are all TOP NOTCH. Great attention and just-enough explanation has helped me create very delectable cakes and pies that I would have never bothered attempting before. As with most recipe books, the paperback version is void of helpful photos. However, it has given my family and friends another glance into the challenges of eating gluten-free; it's great for sharing recipes with those who'd cook for those with intolerances/allergies.

This book has recipes that are very good and pretty easy to make. One thing that I really appreciated was that they all use the same flour mixture, and the flour actually has nutritional value, as opposed to having 5 different flours throughout the book that you have to make, or just using a mixture of corn starch and potato starch. If you need to cook gluten-free desserts, I would highly recommend this book!

I bought this book with the intent of learning to bake gluten-free rather than with bleached wheat flour, hoping to bake healthier desserts my family would still enjoy eating. So far the recipes I've tried from this book have turned out very well. I enjoy reading the book and have learned quite a bit about gluten-free baking. I'm sure the rest of the recipes I bake will turn out well too.

I admit it... I have a cookbook addiction! And since our family has been gluten free, I have added quite the collection of gluten free cookbooks to my shelves. And I use them ALL! Well, I now have a new favorite for gluten free desserts... CONNIE SARROS' DESSERT COOKBOOK! EVERY recipe I've tried is fantastic! And if you can crave it, Connie has a recipe for it! I can't say enough about it! I highly recommend it to ANYONE who wants to venture into gluten free baking, or just add new options to the dessert menu. But warning: everyone will start asking you to bring the dessert... everytime!

My sister, her daughter and I have used this cookbook to make some wonder desserts. No one knows or cares that they are gluten free because they taste so GREAT! Recipes are easy to follow. I double recipes and have had no problems. Great buy!

We've had this book for several months now and everything we have tried has been successful. The flour mix works and there are many unusual and really delicious cookie recipes. Cakes are pretty standard but the recipes are excellent. Overall, one of our most used gluten free cookbooks.

This book has some good recipes definitely, but it wasn't quite the kind of dessert cookbook I was looking for. It seemed a bit more fancy than what I'd expected.

I really enjoyed the "Glazed Chocolate Fantasy" Cake. The answer to any Chocolate Lovers sweet tooth.
