Not just a gluten free cookbook
I've used many different gluten free cookbooks since being diagnosed with celiac disease over 20 years ago. Most had a few recipes I liked and many I didn't. What makes The Healthy Gluten-Free Life cookbook unusual is that I've liked every recipe I've tried so far. One of my biggest hurdles has been making the same food, such as chicken, taste different each time I cook it. The sauces, seasonings and dressings that Tammy uses for entrees and salads has helped solve my problem. They are excellent, but not difficult to make. This is not just a gluten free cookbook. Anyone with intolerances to gluten, dairy, soy or eggs will find this cookbook a great help. I've never cooked without eggs and was skeptical about eliminating them from my baked goods. I've made Lemon Poppy Seed cakes, shortcake and snickerdoodles. They were just as good as those made with real eggs. Tammy has included descriptions of flours, starches, sweeteners, oils and fats plus substitutions for eggs and dairy. Her kitchen tips will help you save time and money. There is also a short list of resources at the end. This book is a feast for the eyes. The pictures will makes you want to run to your kitchen and start cooking immediately. That's what I did and I'm delighted with the results. The only suggestions I have are for the publisher. I found it was difficult to read the fractions in the recipes as they were so small. A larger font would be much easier to see. I would also add an index that was alphabetical. The picture index was nice, but it was by page number so it took too long to find what I wanted.
