 If you have to be gluten free you should have this book Jun 25, 2010
Try going on a gluten free diet for six months and you will want this book. Because after six months, you will be willing to make some compromises, Bette's recipes are a whole lot better than anything else gluten free. My very worn copy has many book marks sticking out of its top marking favorite recipes, and food stains from being on the counter while making countless meals.
No gluten free flour is the same as wheat flour. In fact, any single gluten free flour is awful. But Bette has devised mixtures of gluten free flours that can be used in place of wheat with decent success. Featherlite, my favorite, has rice flour, tapioca flour, cornstarch and potato flour and it is the closest to wheat flour of anything I have found.
To the fellow reviewer who had trouble finding the chicken pot pie recipe, the crust recipe (labeled biscuit recipe) is on page 279 and the filling recipe is on page 72. Try it, the crust is OK. And yes, you are right, wonderful French bread with light insides is not possible. What is possible is batter breads, and no I don't like them as much as French bread made from wheat, but there is the compromise you make after being on this diet for at least six months.

Indispenable for Gluten Free Beginners!!! Mar 24, 2010
We have to be gluten free for a family member and this author has created books that provide easy to understand information. You get the why you are doing what you are doing! Plus recipes that help you learn to convert your old way of cooking to the gluten free. They are great!
 So many "comfort" foods missing!! Mar 10, 2010
I hate to give this book only 2 stars because there are some great recipes. I have to give the low rating becasue it's not really a "comfort" cook book. I was born and raised in the south and was disappointed that these classic "comfort" recipes were not in the book: fried chicken, fried okra, fried green tomaotes. There are no corn bread or grits recipes. I have to disagree with the person who said the chicken pot pie crust was not in the book. it is on page 279. This mix is for several recipes. I made it for the hamburger pie - which is great. My son loved it! I have not made a lot of recipes in this book ,but glad I have it and plan to try more. I think a better title would have been "quick and easy". Most of the recipes don't have a lot of ingredients, but you do have to make your own flour mixes. This is standard with any gluten free cook book.
great recipes for every day gluten free cooking Jan 10, 2010
I got this book out of the library but now am going to have to buy it.
Love, love love the recipes. Useful for every day cooking. I guess I like "comfort" foods a lot :)
Everyone has already said how great this cookbook is and the author was one of the first to develop recipes for celiacs so they could eat regular food again without missing out on baked goods.
Wheat and gluten are so present in purchased foods and hard to replace. This book helps make life better.

This book is a very good resource for anyone who has to follow a gluten free diet. The author has included flour mixes that you can make for your own use. I would highly recommend the book.
