This is a lovely looking book, the kind you like to leaf through with a coffee and muffin in hand. Many of the recipes are interesting and thoughtful, simply explained and offered with enough space around them so you don't feel you're reading the encyclopedia.
I was happy to see that Grace had opted for fruit sugar in the desserts and even strayed as far as Millet flour. However, this book does rely heavily on the same mixtures of rice\gram\tapioca flour that give that familiar (and not that pleasant) sandy texture and beany flavour. The only gluten free bread recipe offered is a soda bread that I didn't even bother making as I know from experience that it would make a dry, heavy loaf.
True celiacs be aware of the labelling system used in the book as not all recipes are gluten free. Anyone avoiding soya, be prepared to make many substitutions.
I would recommend this book for someone who doesn't have any experience of gluten free cooking, but maybe think about buying some sorghum, amaranth or teff flour to use instead of the rice flour in the recipes?
