4.0 out of 5 stars No short-cuts makes for WUNNERFUL desserts!, January 6, 2006

By	Bluestem (Illinois, US) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very tasty recipes., June 19, 2006

By	Janice M. Levenhagen (CORVALLIS, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!
