Product Description
Coeliacs are people who suffer from a sensitive reaction to gluten, which is the protein found in wheat and rye. Similar substances are found in barley and oats. Since gluten damages the lining of the small intestine of coeliacs, it makes their ability to absorb adequate nutrients from food difficult, which results in severe illness resembling malnutrition. Coeliacs may be acutely ill with weight loss, tiredness, lethargy and breathlessness. The only treatment which can rectify a coeliac condition is a gluten-free diet. A coeliac must not eat any food which contains flour or wheat, barley or rye in any form. Ths means excluding bread, biscuits, crispbreads, cakes, pastry, pasta, breadcrumbs, semolina and food cooked in batter. Flour is also an ingredient in many tinned, packaged and processed foods as well as ready meals. A gluten-free diet can therefore pose major difficulties for the coeliac. This recipe book offers 200 recipes using special gluten-free flours, breads and pasta now available on the market, many of which coeliacs can obtain on a doctor's prescription.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Inaccurate recipes let it down..,
By
This review is from: The Everyday Wheat-free and Gluten-free Cookbook (Paperback)
This book looks very well put together, but unfortunately of the first few recipes I have tried, I have so far found inaccuracies in three of them! The best example was the Potato, Leek and Apple pie (pg 115), which has NO leeks mentioned in the ingredients! The Banana Bread (pg 179) also has something missing out of the ingredients (my guess sugar?), and mentions adding the eggs twice! If you follow the recipe you'd end up with a right curdled mess! My family have also not enjoyed other recipes which I have made, on a taste basis, so I am now reluctant to try any more frankly, which is a shame. A much better book, I found, was 'Lose Wheat, Lose Weight' by Savill & Hamill, althought the emphasis is slightly different but all the recipes have been unqualified successes!

Great book, easy to find ingredients and easy to follow,

This review is from: The Everyday Wheat-free and Gluten-free Cookbook (Paperback)
These receipes are easy to follow and don't use brand name flours, so the ingredients can be obtained from health food shops. It gives an honest assessment of how the breads are going to turn out, and now I know I can have wheat free bread.
