I am so dissappointed with this book. Although I have not (at present) been diagnosed as being a coeliac I do however suffer with a wheat allergy. I have struggled since finding out to find alternatives to bread and cakes without paying extortionate supermarket prices for pre-packaged cardboard! I have had Good Housekeeping cook books throughout my life and they have always been my bible. I was hoping that this would be the same and become an invaluable addition - but no! It is simply a standard recipe book.
Do they think that coeliacs or people with wheat intolerances don't realise that they can eat rice, vegetables and fruit?? We are all aware that these things don't contain gluten or wheat. I can find a thousand recipe books that tell me how to make a soup or how to make salmon nicoise or roasted cod with fennel!! What we need is inspiration and a way to find alternatives to those comfort foods that we all love, like crumpets dripping with butter, a doorstep sandwich, gooey cakes and crumbly moorish biscuits - all the things we can't eat.....
To me it just seems like a marketing ploy to jump on the back of what is becoming a bigger and bigger issue by advertising it as 'Wheat Free'. Give us what we want, like a recipe for a decent loaf of wheat free bread that's not like a brick!
