Cooking Light Gluten-Free Baking: Delectable From-Scratch Sweet and Savory Treats Paperback – April 15, 2014

Finally! I went through quite a few cook books and innumerable online recipes before at last finding true love in this book, which not only produces perfect recipes every time, they are also far healthier, with much less starch, and fat, and NO baking mix; each recipe calls for its own unique blend of flours.These recipes are so well constructed, I can easily substitute certain flours here and there if I feel like it, and since I cannot tolerate Xanthem Gum, I use Physillium Husk Powder, and it works just fine. I also cannot tolerate Sorghum flour, so I replace it with a little teff flour and more of the other flours called for. When making muffins, I always substitute 1/4 cup of the White Rice Flour with Millet flour, which makes muffins fluffier. I can also severely cut down on the sugar, replacing its bulk with Sweet Rice Flour and adding more sweetness with a few drops of liquid Stevia.Point is, I can work with this book, just pull it out and get going without worrying about buying pre-mixed flour blends or making my own, and I get delicious results EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's obvious these are recipes he and his wife and kids really eat and enjoy on a regular basis. I know I do!

Very well thought out cookbook. Very informative on what various flours are needed and their differences when cooking or baking gluten free. The first recipe I tried was Sweet Potatoe Pie for Thanksgiving. It was to die for and I will definitely be making it again as well as trying out other recipes. This cookbook is definitely a keeper, and very easy to understand in order to make something the first time taste fabulous! Great for novice cooks as well as well -trained cooks like myself. I would recommend this cookbook to anyone wanting to know more about cooking/baking gluten free and having food taste "normal" versus gritty or dry.

Recipes are really good and the ingredients are easy to find. My only issue is the use of the spray for the pans. If you have a wheat allergy or celiac you need to very careful. Most of the sprays have alcohol or other ingredients that are not good for us folks.

My doctor suggested I try to be gluten free for 30 days. I have reached 60 days at this point and because the recipes in this book are so yummy I am not having a problem maintaining "gluten free". Those Sour Cream cupcakes are awesome. I made them as directed the first time, added chocolate drizzle over the frosting the second time and added almond flavoring to the batter and frosting the third time. Mmm Mmm good! I have purchase peppermint extract and will top the frosting with crushed candy canes next. Other recipes have turned out great...my husband likes them as well and he was skeptical. This book would make a great "convincer"

An amazing collection of delicious recipes along with valuable information when wanting to bake gluten free. The author has thoroughly researched and experimented with the ingredients that he uses, drawing on personal experiences with his family's health.Each recipe has a full page tantalizing picture and the sections on specialized ingredients also come with detailed pictures ( It helps to say - "oh, that's what it looks like" I know that I am a visual shopper) I have highly recommended this book and others by chef Landolphi and friends have all been very pleased !

This is the Holy Grail of gluten-free baking! Other gluten-free baking books intimidated me or relied so heavily on garbanzo flour that no one in my family would eat the bread but me.I have the book just in time for the holidays and I have already experimented with my own recipes using Robert's crusts for a chess pie.Simple, clear instructions and everything can be found at your local grocery.I can't really say much more because the book is just overwhelmingly wonderful.

Every recipe I've tried turns out delicious! Love this book!
