review 1: So I had plans. Big huge plans. I was going to cook a recipe from this cookbook and then post pictures of what I created next to the pictures from the book and it was going to be lovely and inspiring and you were going to buy the cookbook and make recipes too and then we would all be happy. Then I substituted brown rice for arborio rice and my dreams were shattered. This is NOT, I repeat, NOT a good substitution because brown rice isn't as starchy. This creates irreparable damage if you are trying to make risotto cakes, which I was. So instead we got a very flavorful bowl of brown rice. Oops. BUT - that doesn't mean this cookbook isn't fantastic, because it is. It is the 100% best gluten free cookbooks I have ever seen. And it is now one of my top ten favorite cookbooks. ... moreI present you:Cooking for Isaiah: Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Recipes for Easy Delicious Meals by Silvana Nardone The recipes are approachable, but not something you would think of yourself. She offers easy substitutions for gluten free flour or pancake mix and covers all parts of the meal. She also has pictures. I love pictures. They inspire, but also let you know if you are on the right track. This is a must buy, people. Give it to anyone you know with a gluten or dairy allergy or a commitment to good food. Just don't substitute brown rice for arborio rice. That is a BAD idea.
review 2: Love this book! Love it, love it, love it! This a great new gluten-free book with all sorts of delicious recipes that are as equally mouth-watering by name as they are in their photos. The book is beautiful and nicely done, of course (it is Rachael Ray's magazine editor, no less), but above that, the recipes are magnificent. They are fairly common ingredients with easy to find gluten-free flours (Bob's Red Mill single flours) and simple to use instructions. I have made the Waffle Browns (which were fantastic and work just as well with sweet potatoes as regular potatoes!) and am planning on making the gingerbread whoopie pies soon. Highly recommended. Rated G - for gorgeous. less

Everything sounds great, but I don't know how they stay so slim. So much sugar and white flour.

A pretty good resource, but most of the recipes are not realistic for my needs.
