review 1: My one gripe: lacking photos for every recipe. I'm someone who likes a visual guide. The breadmaking in particular would benefit from a step-by-step series of photos. I understand this ups publishing costs, but even a gallery on the official site would be great. I'd also appreciate maybe some tips for someone who doesn't tolerate corn well or more recipes without it (kind of like the adaptations mentioned for dairy-free diets).That said, the recipes taste great and the opening section's lists and tips are incredible helpful. I've been flailing in frustration with my new gluten-free status and this book has given me so many more ideas.
review 2: I am not a person who chooses to eat gluten-free, or has to eat gluten-free. I do, however, watch my carbohydra
... moretes and stick to a fairly regimented diet for health and fitness purposes. As anyone who is forced to stick to a diet that is gluten-free knows: it can be tedious, time-consuming, and pretty expensive. This book solves all those issues. The author cuts through all the extras associated with baking and cooking within the parameters of the gluten-free world by noting that it is alright not to buy several different flours and sugars, etc. in order to get one recipe that works. She also makes it easy to throw a recipe together and have a tasty result in hardly any time.This is a great resource for the gluten-free dieter who does not want to devote their life to seeking out crazy recipes, who only has a limited amount of time (moms and working people: take note!), and also those who may not have access to Whole Foods or other natural/organic/health markets. I live in the rural Midwest, and I can actually find everything in these recipes at my local Kroger and Meijer stores. This is a must-have resource for those tired of the tedious world of gluten-free or those just starting out. Yes, a few more pictures would be nice, but the content far outweighs my need for visuals.Finally: Gluten-free made easy- AND delicious! less

Great recipes that are accessible for the average baker. Plus gluten free and economical!

This book is a mixed bag: some recipes work well, others fail for no apparent reason.

Didn't fall in love with any of the recipes, but should probably try a few more.

Good, solid recipes, but sadly only a couple of photos.
