Gluten-Free Cooking for Healthy Living

Gluten-free doesn't have to mean pleasure-free anymore! Today, with some smart and easy cooking strategies, plus tasty substitutes, it's possible to eat both healthily and delectably. As long as you have this cookbook on your kitchen counter, you can enjoy delicious dishes with tempting aromas, eclectic flavors, and no apologies. Nothing's off the menu—not even baked goods, thanks to a variety of flours, including brown rice, coconut, garbanzo, grains like quinoa and millet, tapioca, and much more. The comprehensive advice here covers making your own mixes for such favorites as pizza, bread, cakes, and cookies, and there are plenty of amazing, mouth-watering options for every meal. Breakfast might include Fluffy Pancakes, Cherry Oregano Scones, and Mini Frittatas with Spinach, Tomatoes, and Goat Cheese. For a lighter dish, try Italian Green Salad with Pears & Parmesan Cheese or Chestnut Sweet Potato Soup. And with mains like Stuffed Leg of Lamb with Creamy Yogurt Sauce, and Chicken Soup with Matzo Balls, you won't feel as if you're giving up anything. (Don't worry: we haven't forgotten dessert. With treats ranging from Ice Cream Sandwiches to Marble Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting, even the sweetest tooth will be satisfied.) Whether you're suffering from celiac disease or another form of gluten-intolerance, or just want to feel better and healthier, this cookbook is the key to going gluten-free . . . scrumptiously.
