review 1: I simply can not say enough good things about this cookbook. Hardly a weekend goes by without using one of her recipes. I can honestly say that I do not know what I would do without this book. My husband and daughter both have Celiac disease. When they were first diagnosed, I was lost....how would we eat....what could we eat. I stumbled upon the Gluten Free on a Shoestring blog and I found hope....and donuts...and cookies...and all kinds of tasty items. I own both of her cookbooks and have the next one soon to be released ordered. This is my favorite so far.We don't eat desserts and bread everyday but we want these things every so often. I love the section in the back of the book where she gives you the recipes to make your own mixes. I have baked the brownies and brought ... morethem to many pot lucks and nobody every even knew that they were gluten free....they were just gone. We have made the donuts on the cover, the muffins in the mix section, chocolate cupcakes from the mix section, vanilla cupcakes from the mix section, flour tortillas, and the cinnamon rolls just to name a few.Not only are the recipes delicious and easy to follow, Nicole has written the cookbook with pieces of her sense of humor which I love. I would highly recommend this cookbooks for anyone who wants to eat gluten free but still wants to eat good food. Food should not be good for gluten free.....if I am going to serve it to my family it needs to be good and gluten free.
review 2: Gluten free cooking is expensive. I purchased this book thinking she would have some good recipes that were inexpensive to fix. She uses an expensive pre-made gluten free flour that ranges about $5/lb. I had to adjust my thinking. I wanted inexpensive food that was comparable to their gluten counterparts. Instead, she compares the cost of her food to a gluten-free product. In truth, that makes sense, but it disappointed me. Unless you have a pressure cooker, don't bother with this book and get her other one instead. Her baking recipes make the best tasting gluten free desserts that I have made, so don't write her off. Just buy her other book. less
