 Needs To Rethink The Bean Flour Mixture July 13, 2007
There are a great many bread recipes in this book, but I have found that some of the breads are too sweet or just taste downright bad due to the beany taste. The bean flour blend IS higher in protein than the rice blend but some of us cannot tolerate the bean flours either. I found that the bean flour breads left an overpowering aftertaste, needless to say I wasn't impressed. Most of the recipes I found I had to use the rice blend instead of the bean blend and then add some extras for protein and had a far better tasting loaf of bread. To each his own though. All in all, it is a very usable bread book just use your imagination to expand on the recipes!

Very good creative recipes, sourcing products used required a special health products provider - Goodness Direct. Author uses a lot of flours only obtainable from US, which I haven't so far got hold of.
 An essential book for a gluten free bookshelf December 12, 2006

I have loved Bette Hagman's cookbooks since I first got "More from the Gluten free Gourmet" with her amazing rapid french bread recipe. WHen I found out she was coming out with a book of JUST BREADS I was ecstatic, and then when I began trying these recipes, I was even happier because they are ALL excellent. I've been trying out new recipes from this book ever since I got it, and I have found some surprising hits, like her amazingly flavorful quinoa bread, and the cinnamon breads, and the sourdough breads... I could go on and on, but I am a huge fan of her new four flour blend with bean flour. I think it's a little unfair to criticize her for the low protein featherlight blend, which she uses in some of her recipes- she doesn't advertise herself as a wheat free high protein baker, but a gluten free gourmet. She has changed the lives of those of us with Celiac sprue who have been stuck with processed breads or mediocre mixes all of our lives.. and I am incredibly grateful. I have been very happy working with her recipes using the new nutritious flours such as sorghum and bean flour, and I'm glad she's always experimenting with new flours to give us more nutritious options (even if they are initially difficult to procure). All of the flour she uses are available in the United States, and most should be available in Canada- Kinnikinnick may be a good source for some of the flours, as well as asian or indian markets. Gluten free products have only been getting better over the last ten years- and I think we can credit Bette's creative genius as inspiring many of these positive changes. BTW, I do love Bette, and her breads, but I have to admit, her sweet tooth and my sweet tooth don't always get along- as in some of her old desserts in previous cookbooks, and savory dishes in VERY early cookbooks- ketchup cabbage jello.... WHAT???? This is her best book to date, and if you're just going to get ONE book, please do yourself a favor and get this one. The crumpets are to die for, if nothing else... And she has many substitutions for those with complex intolerances. I had very good luck with her recipes even when I was a full fledged vegan. Happy gluten free baking! This book is a keeper!
