Editorial Reviews

Review

“For many people, normal food becomes off-limits when they find they have an allergy or condition, such as celiac disease. To wrestle new limitations into foods that are every bit as delicious and appealing (if not more so) is a coup to be celebrated. Having tried the chocolate chip cookies, I speak from experience when I say there is nothing lacking in these recipes. They are truly wholesome and delicious!” —DEBORAH MADISON, Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone

“Elana has a tremendous gift for creating classic recipes using healthy ingredients. Her high-protein, gluten-free treats are incredibly tasty! I highly recommend this book if you are looking for good food that is also good for you.” —DR. ROBERT ROUNTREE, Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child


Product Description

The prevalence of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity among millions of adults and children has created the need for gluten-free recipes that are as nutritious and tasty as their traditional counterparts. Popular food blogger Elana Amsterdam offers ninety-nine family-friendly classics--from Pancakes to Eggplant Parmesan to Chocolate Cake--that feature her gluten-free ingredient of choice, almond flour. Because these recipes are low glycemic, low in cholesterol and dairy, and high in protein and fiber, they are also ideal for people with diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol.

So whether you’re looking for a quick breakfast treat, a comfort food entrée, or a showstopping dessert, The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook proves that gluten-free cooking can mean healthy eating for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars This cookbook is life changing, August 2, 2009
I am a culinary school graduate of both sweet and savory. Right before I graduated it was determined that I was gluten intolerant. It was life changing and devastating. I have been teaching myself the art of gluten free cooking for a while. My school failed to teach anything like this. I am lactose intolerant as well and the fact that she has recipes for things like gluten free french toast using COCONUT MILK is completely eye opening. I found myself thinking "Why didn't I think of that?" I made her vegan pastry cream and was AMAZED. I agreed with her, it WAS a miracle. She IS a culinary genius! Every recipe I've tried has worked and been delicious. I love that she has the sources in the back that tells you where to order the supplies she uses. I've already ordered almond flour and a magic line loaf pan. I purchased agave nectar at restaurant depot and can hardly wait to start baking! I am someone who broke down into tears when I discovered the gluten free section at Whole Foods. This book has again brought me to tears. A must have for gluten intolerant people and even those who just want to try something new. I love this book so much I have been carrying it around in my purse. The ONLY downside is that the ingredients are pricey. But I've come to terms with the high cost of gluten free foods and have started getting used to it.

You won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some Good Ideas, but Edit Out the Agave Nectar, October 26, 2009
By vintner "vintner" (Northern CA USA) - See all my reviews
  
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book has a number of good and SIMPLE recipes for gluten-free and low-carb dishes using almond flour. Well worth adding to the shelf; it simplifies and collects a lot of information about almond flour that is widely scattered.

The one big caution is that the author uncritically uses agave nectar for sweetening in almost all the recipes. She says this is because agave nectar is "lower on the glycemic index", but that's not an advantage, that's merely because agave nectar is largely fructose, the most dangerous of the sugars.

From Stephan Guyenet, Ph.D. in neurobiology (blog at [...]

"Agave syrup is made from the heart of the agave plant, which is pressed to release a juice rich in inulin. Inulin is a polymer made of fructose molecules. The inulin is then broken down either by heat or by enzymatic processing. The result is a sweet syrup that is rich in fructose. Agave syrup is marketed as a healthy, alternative sweetener. In fact, it's probably as bad or worse than high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). They are both a refined and processed plant extract. Both are high in fructose, with agave syrup leading HFCS (estimates of agave syrup range up to 92% fructose by calories). Finally, agave syrup is expensive and inefficient to produce. The high fructose content gives agave syrup a low glycemic index, because fructose does not raise blood glucose. Unfortunately, as some diabetics learned the hard way, using fructose as a substitute for sucrose (cane sugar) has negative long-term effects on insulin sensitivity."

I find that these recipes can be adapted by omitting the ill-chosen agave nectar sweetner, in favor of either ordinary sugar (sucrose) or for low-carbs an equivalent combination of Emerald Forest Sugar Erythritol, 1-Pound (Pack of 6) and NuNaturals NuStevia Pure White Stevia Extract, 1 Ounce (Pack of 2), as recommended by Lauren at Healthy Indulgences blog [...]

5.0 out of 5 stars Always on top of my pile of cookbooks, delicious, healthy food., August 15, 2009
By Madeleine (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
For people with celiac disease, baking is not always easy, results often not too pleasing and very often not too healthy either. This book adresses these 3 problems in a magnificent way. The recipes are super easy, the results absolutely delicious and the nutritional value outstanding. I reach for Elana's recipes again and again. Friends and family prefer 'her food' over regular stuff. If you have never cooked before and don't know where to begin, this book is a great place to start. For more experienced cooks, the book has a lot to offer as well: a lot of recipes for pie crusts, pizza's, breads etc etc that spark your own imagination and creativity. Do your family, your palate and your health a favour and buy this lovely book!
