Easy Breadmaking for Special Diets is the perfect book for bread machine owners who bake for anyone on a special diet. Nicolette provides great insight into the use of bread machines with some of the more difficult ingredients that are used on special diets. Best of all, these recipes really work and produce delicious breads that will appeal to everyone, regardless of diet! -- Ada Lai, editor of "The Magic Bread Letter"

Easy Breadmaking for Special Diets solves a problem common to patients on special diets, that of how to make your own breads and desserts with the minimum of time and effort. If you or your family members are on a special diet, this book will be very helpful to you, even if you've never cooked before. -- William G. Crook, M.D., author of The Yeast Connection Detecting Your Hidden Food Allergies

Ms. Dumke has done the impossible! Imagine - wonderful breads from a huge variety of flours, yeast breads using non- gluten flours, quick breads that are yeast-free, and even cakes. I've used a bread machine for four years and never imagined it could be so versatile. This book opened by mind to all kinds of possibilities - it's an amazing body of incredibly original work. -- Marjore H. Jones, R.N., author of The Allergy Self Help Cookbook

1.0 out of 5 stars Cleiac's beware - this book may not be for you!, August 7, 2000

By	Cheryl A DiBiase (Marietta, Georgia USA) - See all my reviews

I am a Celiac! My personal opinion is that this book is not for Celiac's. Almost every recipe in this book uses either bread flour or Spelt (a NO-NO for Celiac's).

3.0 out of 5 stars excellent book but only 3 recipes for both gluten AND yeast-, May 28, 1999

By A Customer

I was eager to receive this book becasue I must avoid ALL gluten and ALL yeast --the book has only three recipes that fit this description --not worth the price if you have to avoid both substances--otherwise it's great--good info on bread machines

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, tasty recipes the whole family enjoys!, August 18, 1999

By A Customer

This book is well written with clear explanations of the complexities of baking with different ingredients. Probably not the best book for folks with gluten problems as many of the recipes contain some form of wheat, but it's great for those with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance. The recipes work well just as they are written so no experimenting is needed get good results or to make the results palatable to the rest of the family. We needed recipes without dairy, eggs, peanuts, soy, corn, and coconut. This book has been ideal for us. It's full of wonderfully easy recipes for everyday foods that everyone in the family likes! (There are also great special occasion recipes!) Good bread machine recipes for special diets are hard to find and should be treasured.
