A pioneer in gluten-free cooking, Roben Ryberg has worked with gluten-free flours for over 15 years. Now, in You Won’t Believe It’s Gluten-Free!, she vastly simplifies the challenges of this special diet-while perfecting the flavor of everyone’s favorite foods. Completely comprehensive, You Won’t Believe It’s Gluten-Free! offers 500 recipes for all kinds of breads and baked goods, plus easy appetizers, soups, entrees, and salads to win over any crowd. It also features desserts for special occasions-even wedding cakes! Unlike the standard use of three or more flour blends, these recipes often call for just one flour, and many recipes include corn, potato, rice, and oat flour variations. This is an essential cooking bible for anyone with celiac disease, wheat allergy, IBS, or other gluten sensitivities.

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Even devoted low-carb dieters have it easy compared to those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, who have no choice in giving up many foods. Ryberg (The Gluten-Free Kitchen) aims to make their sacrifices easier by recreating favorite dishes, from fried chicken to lemon pound cake, with alternative ingredients. For every meal and course, she offers a wide range of crowd-pleasing recipes (mini meat loaves; Caesar salad); those that are normally gluten-heavy get several versions using different flours for different effects. The first chapter discusses stocking the gluten-free kitchen and converting recipes, and helpful notes about preparation accompany many recipes, but her extensive experience doesn't always translate to the page, particularly with baked goods, which are the trickiest to make. Though she provides extra details about baking, there is still not enough guidance about what to expect with these unusual batters and doughs, and the results may not live up to her claims. Fortunately, her constant enthusiasm and encouragement will keep people trying, and the growing gluten-free community will be thrilled to have this massive resource of ideas for making their meals more enjoyable.

Before Celiac, I was an avid baker. I baked all of our breads (my children never knew what store brought bread was), and that is one of the hardest things that I've had to deal with. The smell of fresh baked bread, the way it feels when you're making it, etc. With this book I have been able to get back some of that nostalgic feeling of being in the kitchen and creating something truly wonderful. I use this cookbook almost daily and share it with anyone I can. I have tried many many other cookbooks and got so discouraged that I didn't want to try anything new. The smell of garbanzo bean flour was enough to make me stop using it. Not to mention the lead weight that came out of the oven every time I tried to bake with 4 or even 5 different flours. Thank you Roben for simplifying baking but while still providing my family with delicious treats from our kitchen. This book is truly a treat for anyone with gluten intolerance, celiac, or various other food allergies. Yeah for being back in the kitchen!!! Heather Jones

Since being diagnosed with celiac over the summer, I've bought over a dozen cookbooks with varying rates of success. I don't expect EVERYTHING I make to be a homerun the first time out - but this is the only cookbook I've purchased that I'm batting 0 out of 12 tries. In a few cases, I've made each incarnation of a recipe - thinking that if the cornstarch version didn't work than I might have better luck with the rice. Not so much. Everything I've tried has ended up in the trashcan. Heavy, brittle, sandy texture - and as those who are learning to deal with cooking know, the ingredients aren't cheap, so having to toss batch after batch is not encouraging me to continue to bother with this cookbook.
Sadly, I think the fact the author doesn't HAVE to eat gluten free herself comes out loud and clear. Frankly, I've had such bad luck I'm even reluctant to bother dropping this book off at the used bookstore - if someone really needs to learn how to cook gluten free, this would be a terrible way to start.
I'm surprised at all the good reviews this book has gotten, as I've heard through the gluten-free community that I'm in no way the first or only one left with a bad taste in my mouth over the recipes. I'm glad others have found success - but I'll never be able to recommend this book to anyone. It's harsh to say - but the only reason I give this cookbook even ONE star is because it isn't possible to give it none.
