There are some good basics here for those of us with celiac disease and gluten intolerance. But I did find some of the snarky comments and opinons unnecessary.

I think that this is a wonderful first book on how to cook gluten-free. Danna Korn does a great job making the “book part” an easy read with light humor through out. The recipes that I have tried so far have been okay. I think that its an adjustment to cook with out gluten and something that gets better with time and practice!

I actually bought this book for my daughter, as her boyfriend must make the choice to live gluten-freee-his entire life. The information was very helpful for my daughter and educating her on the best choices for meals each and every day. Thanks for the enless recipes. . .

I enjoyed the first half of the book, and was excited to see the recipes, but when I got to the recipes they weren’t consistent with the first author’s philosophies on gluten-free cooking.

The book has a lot of good info in it as to how to cook and live gluten free. However the book does not mark in the recipes which items you need to make sure are gluten free (it notes early in the book that there are “some items” that you will need to make sure are gluten free, the other GF cooling books i have bought and used have marked every item in the ingredients list.
It is a good starting point, and the BBQ meat loaf (page 210 if i recall correctly) is AMAZING, but the other recipes in the book i have tried so far have been pretty bland, maybe i just so far have chosen the wrong ones but compared to the other GF cook books ive used this has a much lower percentage of great recipes
