 Great book for winter cooking! November 20, 2008
I love this book. Really, I do. While some of the recipes are a little.. unnecessary.. the ones that I use are absolute gems. Mac and Cheese, Pot Pie, Biscuits and Gravy (my favorite!) Poor Man's Pie, Quinoa cookies, condensed soup recipes!!! This book gets a lot of use, and it's positives greatly outweigh the negative (Good Housekeeping and the conventional classics have the common sense recipes in them also, remember). By the way, a lot of her biscuit and dumpling esque recipes all use the same dry mixes, so before you think they aren't in there, check her mixes section first!
A must have for any gluten free cook, hands down!!!
 Plenty of unhelpful recipes September 19, 2008

This book has some good information and recipes... but there's a lot that are sort of a joke/waste of space. I don't need this sort book to contain recipes that are naturally gluten-free like salads and chili, etc. There is also a tendency to include recipes like Mac and Cheese but the way that it becomes gluten-free is the recipe states that you use gluten-free macaroni (duh). The recipes for things like homemade pasta and bread are much more useful.
Wow! July 25, 2008
I checked out a number of gluten free cookbooks from my local library, This is the one that I selected after testing a couple of recipes from each book. I knew that I would like this book even before I placed my order on Monday, July 21. What I didn't expect was to have the book delivered to my door on Wednesday morning, July 23! Wow!
 Big disappointment! June 4, 2008

The front cover of this book shows a mouth-watering chicken pot pie with a gorgeous crust. That's what interested me in the book. But guess what, the crust recipe is not included! When I person needs to cook gluten-free, it's pretty simple to figure out what recipes are OK--salad, cheese and eggs, chicken and other meats, etc. What you need a book to teach you is how to make breads, pie crusts, and stuff like that. This book has a few good recipes, but it's definitely not worth what I paid for it -- and I didn't pay full price, I bought a used version that looks totally new... maybe the last owner found out what I did: this cookbook is a disappointment.
Comfort foods...YUM! May 22, 2008

The salmon quiche is fantastic! As a new-found celiac, I thought I'd never be able to eat pasta again. I'm truly looking forward to cooking substantially more from this "life-saving" book.
