The recipes in this book are beyond helpful for anyone struggling with any sort of gluten allergy or sensitivity. I have one friend with a gluten sensitivity and even she said she'd be willing to give these recipes a shot!

I'm so glad I bought this book!  The microbiome is a topic that we should all familiarize ourself with, as it is central to human health.  This book is  a great resource in that it gives a thorough overview of what the microbiome is, plans to help repair your microbiome (in phases), and a bunch of recipes to help the process!  There are places to record the symptoms you might be experiencing, and tools for keeping track of symptoms as foods are reintroduced.  I also love it when a book gives you a week-to-week plan for a diet, including pantry staples to have around.  It is also important to me that a working cook book (as the latter half of this book truly is) has a good index in the back so I can find things later (where WAS that fabulous recipe for teff porridge?....)  I am very much looking forward to trying these recipes, and I will report back as I do.  They look fabulous, and include something for everyone.  Can't wait to try the quinoa, buckwheat, and oat granola, for instance, or the peanut butter chocolate breakfast bars!  There are lots of vegetarian and vegan recipes.  The meat recipes also look delish.  Those who eat gluten-free will find a plethora of recipes here.  Many of the recipes do include dairy, but almost always have an alternative without it.  All the recipes specify if the dish is vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, kid-friendly, low-FODMAP, and more.  This is so helpful!  If you are looking for a book that will catch you up on the emerging science of the microbiome, and give you a roadmap for microbiome repair, this is a good one.  I would recommend it also if you are just looking for a good cookbook!  Also great for those with allergies/sensitivities.  I would have purchased it without the discount, though, as it is a timely and very useful book.  Highly recommended.

This book came highly recommended from a co-worker who is gluten free.  His wife let me borrow hers and after reading through it, I decided to purchase one for myself.  I love how it shows how they came up with their recipes and why they work with the GF flour.  Wonderful learning tool!

Before I had to eliminate gluten from my life, America's Test Kitchen cookbooks were some of my favorite resources because of their methodical approach to discovering the best version of each recipe.

This gluten-free-specific cookbook has been the answer to so many of the frustrations that I have experienced. The baked goods have texture that is as close to traditional baked goods as possible, and the taste is superb.

The instructions are clear, specific, and they offer advice for when you can "cut corners" and when to stay the course. It is my new go-to resource and my friends are extremely pleased that I'm working through all of the recipes, one by one.

I highly recommend this book for all levels of gluten free cooks. You will learn new tricks and discover new favorite recipes, I'm sure of it!

So many people are adopting a Gluten-Free lifestyle these days.  This book gives fun, easy to follow, delicious recipes of how we (who are gluten-free) can easily embrace this lifestyle, without sacrificing our favorite foods-especially bread!  Not only is there a great variety of recipes, there are also descriptions of the health benefits to these recipes.  There are also suggestions on how to replace typical foods that are filled with gluten to gluten-free ingredients, without sacrificing taste.  I recommend this book for the beginner of gluten-free to the advanced "nutritionist!"

The book was written by Nancy Cain, a woman who was introduced to gluten-free cooking/baking when her teenage son was diagnosed with celiac disease. From breads to cakes to pies to sandwiches, Nancy created and adapted two hundred gluten-free recipes in her new cookbook. Being a gluten-free beginner, I was thrilled to find that the recipes included common ingredients (not ones I would have to special order online) AND tons of pictures to help me visualize what I was making.

When this came in the mail, my first order of business was to make her Buckwheat Bread. A close second (literally they were baking at the same time!) were the Berry Good Muffins. I made both as close to the recipe as I could, with the two deviations being that I had to use whole wheat buckwheat flour instead of "light" buckwheat flour AND I didn't use raspberries in the muffins (I doubled the blueberries instead). Both the bread and the muffins were a little...sponge-y. I can't think of a better word to describe the texture...not dense, not too fluffy, not airy. Also, they turned out darker than I anticipated because of using whole wheat buckwheat flour. BUT both were definitely tasty! For my first try at gluten-free baking, my husband gave me two thumbs up ;)

The next things on my list to make: bagels, more muffins, sandwich bread, and cheese crackers! I love this cookbook!!!

I am always on the look-out for sensible main meal GF recipe ideas that the whole family will enjoy, so this book is perfect! Also, I would particularly recommend it to recently diagnosed celiacs or those who cook for celiacs as it gives lots of good advice and information about how to prepare food which is 'safe' e.g.avoiding cross-contamination with gluten-containing food which is a problem not everyone is aware of initially. A great buy!

I found this book to be very informative and contain many good pointers and details regarding starting the gluten free diet, as well as ways to prepare yourself and become successful with a new eating plan. There are various recipes for both gluten-free meals and also vegan recipes. Anyone with gluten sensitivity who suffers with various health ailments such as fatigue, constipation, joint pain, psoriasis will appreciate the suggestions this book gives. There are tons of recipes that your whole family will enjoy, even if they eat mostly regular diets. This isn't like most diets, when you just moderate something, this is more of a life-changing choice. I would also recommend this book for beginners as well, since it gives very sound advice on dieting and staying consistent. I received this book for free or for a discounted price in exchange for an honest review.

I found this book by accident as I was researching tips for gluten-free lifestyles. To stay discreet, I'll just say that my body has a horrible reaction to wheat and anything with gluten, which I've lived with for quite sometime thinking that this was what normal life was supposed to be. But then I found this book, which really has everything from the history of gluten from how to detect whether you have an allergy or something more serious...celiac disease. Even if you're not gluten sensitive, the book lists the pros and cons of living a gluten-free lifestyle. So, essentially, no matter what your background is or where you're from, you will find a lot of benefit in this book.

In this book, Suzanne shares 33 recipes for lunch including tacos, salads, soups and quiches.  With my mom having a gluten allergy, I'm on the lookout for other great recipes for her.  I found several that I want to try:  Strawberry avocado salad, roasted carrot and brie soup and mushroom asparagus quiche.  Thanks Suzanne for providing another valuable resource for those who need to limit the gluten in their diets.

This book really does exemplify hassle-free and I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a lifestyle change or a little push of motivation to living a hassle free, gluten-free life.

This book is such an amazing resource. I know several people that have autoimmune conditions or other allergies, such as nuts or eggs, that have trouble finding recipes to make. Even many Paleo recipes uses nuts or nightshades (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, potatoes). I am so thrilled that I have a book to recommend to them now. I have tried many of the recipes in this book and they are incredible! You can eat from Mickey's book daily and never feel like you are on an allergen free diet.

Although, this book is a must-have for those with food allergies or autoimmune conditions, it's also just a great cookbook for anyone that wants to eat healthy!

As someone who is intolerant to gluten, egg, dairy and many other things, this book has rapidly become my go-to book.  There are few books out there that address multiple food intolerances like this book does.

To begin with, there are many great baking recipes from bread to pizza crusts to cookies, cakes and pies.  All of these recipes provide detailed instructions to account for various food allergies which I found refreshing.  She bases all of her baking recipes on two different flour mixes which you can mix yourself or buy prepackaged.

However, what I really appreciate are the kid friendly main dishes.  These recipes can be dressed up or dressed down depending upon who you are cooking for.  They are quick, easy, and tasty!  My kids have yet to reject a dish I've prepared using this book which says something considering how very picky my daughter is.  I've taken these same dishes and dressed them up for adult company and been given rave reviews.

In addition, Susan has included recipes for basic sauces and condiments.  Finding tasty recipes for these things can be tricky when you have multiple allergies.  Her recipes have given me the opportunity to make a basic white sauce again along with salad dressings, barbecue sauce, and cheese sauce.  Given the size of this book (only about 150 pages), there is an amazing variety of recipes that seem to cover every need and desire.  You will not be disappointed with this book.

This is such a comprehensive cookbook! Bought it for my mother-in-law who has Celiac, and though we only tried one recipe before she took it home with her, the English Muffins we tried were delicious and I didn't even feel like they tasted like they were gluten free. America's Test Kitchen explains the science of why things work and things that don't, and I love that. The book has breads, desserts, main dishes...everything!

Packed full of easy to follow info, this book would be a great resource for anyone, not just if you have to be gluten free.  With chapters on gluten intolerance, and celiac disease, this book also shows how to stock your pantry with gluten free items and how to change the way you think about cooking and preparing food (think----make the gluten free sandwich first--)
I was happy to try different recipes that were actually things my kids would eat!  And most of the items in the recipes are available locally, and within a budget.  Loved it!

Fantastic book.  Pictures show you the portion size versus enormous family size in some cookbooks. Good quality photos render the general idea of a variety of dishes without turning it into a family photo album.  My favorite is the ricotta cones!  This is a warmhearted, caring approach to cooking that will please folks with food sensitivities or fully diagnosed allergies.  Each recipe is labeled not just for gluten free, but fish, shellfish and aught else.  Very happy with this effort since the offerings allow you to use your creative sense to substitute chicken for fish, beef, etc.  Brown continues to remind her readers that they must be kind to themselves in all aspects of their lives, and respecting and caring for their food needs is only part of a "total wellness" approach.  She takes family recipes, adapting the ingredients needed, yet keeping the essence of the home-cooked favorite.  Book size is kitchen friendly as well, letting you store it easily away in a cupboard, or out in the open for quick inspiration.  An important add-on with this book is the commentary on cross-contamination.  Brown reminds us that we may NEED clearly labeled toasters or other cooking "apparel" when gluten and other allergens are mixed in the kitchen, and at table service.  Too often, we take the lazy way out and dip spreaders, spoons and other utensils in between dishes and platters, rationalizing "it's all going to the same place anyway".  As someone with a seafood allergy can attest, the double and triple dipping can send me straight to the allergy medication if not a possible emergency room visit.  This is also where being good to oneself (and others) comes in:  simply recognizing sensitivities and allergies affect each person with a different severity on different occasions. Last, I will mention that gluten free is also a meal option for those who do not have the sensitivity.  It's an alternative to standardized cooking, for anyone choosing to expand their meal horizons.
