Gluten-Free Good Health Cookbook [Paperback]

I have been looking for a gluten free book that gives "healthy" recipes, not just breads, pies and cakes! This book more than met my expectations! The information is so helpful and informative! The food looks delicious and I cant wait to cook my way through this book, like Julie and Julia! The gluten free community really needed a book like this that focuses on healthy good foods like vegetables and grains that are "naturally" gluten free! I just wish they had a few more recipes using alternative grains like amaranth and millet. However, this book is a true treasure and a MUST for those looking to be healthy, not just gluten free! Thank you so much for this gift.

I had bought the baking cookbook buy Annalise Roberts and been so impressed buy it that when I went searching for other books by her I found this one. My husband is Gluten free, but he also has ulcerative colitis which is actually why he is gluten free. Eating and finding him things to eat takes up about 70 percent of our life or more. There a thousand books and ideas out there of how to eat healthier and help neutralize inflammation so I 've always been skeptical and thought most of them were just a bunch of bs... but because I was so impressed with this author I bought this book and can honestly say it's the best book I've ever bought. I have stomach issues myself and was the first one to read this book and try out her ideas on what to eat and let me tell you it actually helped. I've always had a problem with acid reflux and while I stayed true to the alkaline foods that cancelled out the acidic ones and drank lots of lemon water, I had no problem with it. A lot of the book explains about how food works in your system, and why acidic foods bother you and how alkaline foods help to cancel it out. The best thing about this book is it explains all about gluten and how it works in your system and why it bothers some and all of us. I've been hearing about gluten for 4 years now and never understood what it was, and no one could ever REALLY explain it to me.. but this book does an incredible job. And the explanations are informative and easy to read! It also has tons of recipes! Eating the gluten free regimen out of this book doesn't mean you can't have the things you love, it just shows you how to counter greasy things like french fries (which are the love of my life!) and balance the acidity in your system by eating and drinking things that will do so. You have my word that I live with enough people who have chrones disease, UC, IBS, etc to know the problems and stress and the way it alters your life. They all love this book as much as I do, it's a book i would suggest to anyone :)

I received this book as a gift, and I found the text incredibly readable, inviting, and inspiring. The authors really know their stuff, and they make it easy for a novice to tackle very healthful recipes. I decided to begin 2010 by trying out a couple, and I could not stop refilling my bowl! Tonight I tried -- and devoured -- the Spanish peasant soup (108) and the butternut squash gratin (157), and I am planning to marinate the chicken for tomorrow's grilled chicken with lemon, rosemary and garlic (227). My family is thrilled, and I look forward to working my way through many more of these delicious recipes. What a way to get your "five a day!"
