 A Coffee Table Book For Gluten Intollerance. February 29, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a lovely looking book, the kind you like to leaf through with a coffee and muffin in hand. Many of the recipes are interesting and thoughtful, simply explained and offered with enough space around them so you don't feel you're reading the encyclopedia.
I was happy to see that Grace had opted for fruit sugar in the desserts and even strayed as far as Millet flour. However, this book does rely heavily on the same mixtures of rice\gram\tapioca flour that give that familiar (and not that pleasant) sandy texture and beany flavour. The only gluten free bread recipe offered is a soda bread that I didn't even bother making as I know from experience that it would make a dry, heavy loaf.
True celiacs be aware of the labelling system used in the book as not all recipes are gluten free. Anyone avoiding soya, be prepared to make many substitutions.
I would recommend this book for someone who doesn't have any experience of gluten free cooking, but maybe think about buying some sorghum, amaranth or teff flour to use instead of the rice flour in the recipes?
 At last, tasty free from food! February 21, 2008

I got this book from out local library but now I'm going to buy a copy because I don't want to give it back! I'm only allergic to dairy but the recipes are delicious either way. It's great to have easy to prepare but actually nice food to eat. My daughter also suffers and she has also enjoyed these recipes.
Nicely laid out, bit eggy for me December 31, 2007

This is one of those cookbooks that's nice just to read with a cup of coffee. The layout is easy on the eye, the photographs beautiful.
For me, there's a bit of a problem in that so many recipes use eggs, and I can't eat em, but that's hardly the author's problem.
Some of the recipes are also not gluten free as they feature oats, but there's only a few of these. Generally, these are good simple recipes that would suit someone just starting out cooking with restricted ingredients.
Nigella without the cream! December 5, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I love this book. I'm allergic to dairy and was really at a loss for what to cook at times before finding it. Grace writes so well and this is a very good source of recipes. She makes everything sound and look so delicious.
Besides evening meals there are breakfast options, snack foods and plenty of cakes and sweet things - even chocolate! Her instructions are easy to follow and she suggests a list of store cupboard ingredients to get you started.
We have tried and enjoyed a number of the recipes including the Thai green chicken curry and the yummy chocolate cake. They were all very simple to prepare and went down well with all the family, not just me.
Overall this is a beautiful recipe book which has given me so much more choice about what I can really eat. I'll happily buy a copy for my friends with and without allergies this Christmas.
