review 1: Not only is this a gorgeous book, the book deserves high marks for the coherence of the directions,the variety of the recipes and the lusciousness of the food. I have yet to hit a recipe that wasn't divine. I thought the biggest challenge would be locating the different types of flours that many of the recipes call for, but for the most part this has not been a problem. I did not find the author's voice as appealing as Childs's, Dorie Greenspan's or David Tanis's, but still her style is not without some charm. Besides this point in a cookbook is not such a big deal. There are very few meat recipes, so meat lovers, beware. I was more than fine with that.
review 2: I have made many of the recipes in this book and have yet to be disappointed. I didn't think ... morethere was a baker hiding inside of me, much less a gluten-free baker, but Ms. Peltre's wonderful book has teased one out of me. My favorites are the banana, chocolate and hazelnut muffins and the brown butter pistachio and poppy seed financiers. Of the salty recipes, I adore the Tartine with walnut, lemon and ricotta pesto and sauteed mushrooms and the eggplant, lamb and winter squash crumble. This last one was a lot of work, but was quite possibly the most delicious thing I have ever cooked myself. The pancake recipes in this book are also inventive, but easy to follow and guaranteed to please. less
