With her perfectly crafted recipes, marvellous palate, and irrepressible wit, Barbara Kafka makes intolerance oh-so-deliciously tolerable. She shows readers how to get to crisp without breading or flour coatings; to creamy without dairy; to textures that are luxurious without flour or butter; to desserts such as chocolate mousses without cream; and to waffles without flour. Everything you might want to eat is here in this indispensable reference that is a cook's education between two covers. It is a perfect book for anyone who cooks for someone with food intolerances or is intolerant themselves.

5.0 out of 5 starsI just got mine and it is beautiful!22 Nov 2011

Since my husband was diagnosed with celiac disease two years ago I have bought a lot of new cookbooks to add to my already large collection. I decided I needed to stop buying new cookbooks! However, when I saw that Barbara Kafka had written a gluten free cookbook I had to make an exception. She is one of my favorite cookbook authors and I have worn out my copies of her other books. This book does not disappoint. I got it today and have been poring over it all evening. So many wonderful sounding recipes to try and as in her other books a lot of excellent cooking advice. Barbara Kafka totally gets how you have to learn to cook in a whole new way but that there are many, many things you can eat and can cook. This is great book and even if you already have too many cookbooks I would recommend buying this one!

5.0 out of 5 starsI'm a convert31 Oct 2011
By Irene Sax - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I was a skeptic: I can eat anything, and saw no need for a book like this one. But when I opened The Intolerant Gourmet I was converted. It's not just for allergy-sufferers, but an all-round terrific cookbook. I will definitely make the duck with forbidden rice, the chard and lentil soup and one of the soy-marinated pork shoulders. And if I miss the lactose and gluten I can always eat them with a piece of bread and butter. I'm joking but I'm also serious: this is definitely not just for intolerant gourmets.

5.0 out of 5 starsWhat a joy to eat pasta again!14 Nov 2011

To eat without fear and enjoy without sacrifice is a wonderful experience; The Intolerant Gourmet has made both possible. Barbara Kafka truly understands the needs of those who suffer from the inability to cope with gluten and lactose. Every recipe I have tried was easy to follow and the book as a whole is very logically thought-out and organized. The anchovy and garlic pasta and the Venetian rice and peas were especially easy to prepare and delicious. For the first time as a glucose and lactose intolerant home cook, I did not have to make different dishes for different people; no more dividing the recipes and separating ingredients before serving! The tables of descriptions and cooking times for grains and beans in and of themselves are invaluable. This book is a true gift to anyone who enjoys great food, varied fare, imaginative ingredients and dishes at their very best.
