Product Description:
For celiacs and others unable to eat wheat, it’s not just the dessert tray that’s forbidden: hearty staples like bread and pizza are also off limits. Now, this exciting cookbook allows allergy sufferers to indulge in a wide variety of baked goods, all delicious and all gluten-free. Featured are more than 100 recipes, including homey treats like biscuits and blueberry muffins; chocolate chip and other cookie jar classics; old-fashioned favorites such as eclairs, pie crust, and lemon squares; artisan style breads; and more than 20 cakes, from a simple vanilla layer cake to a decadent German chocolate cake. A thorough grounding in classic baking techniques, as well as detailed instructions in how to buy, mix, and measure gluten-free flours, ensure sucess for even novice gluten-free bakers. Rounding out the book is a pertinent discusion on how readers can incorporate baking into busy schedules, and why it is so important for emotional, as well as physical, well-being.

I'm excited to see that this awesome cookbook now has a revised edition with even more recipes! I recently was hired at a health food store that specializes in gluten-free products and this book was my top recommendation for the store to offer! We have it featured in our bulk gluten-free flours area and I refer customers to it all the time! Not complicated to use and it is full of wonderful recipes the whole family will enjoy.

This is by far the best gluten free cookbook I have come across. It is so good that when my son makes the recipes for bake sales he always sells out. People can't believe that the muffins, breads and cookies don't have any gluten!
For the holidays I used to make gluten free baked goods and baked goods with wheat flour for the family members that didn't need to be gluten free. But thanks to this book I am now only making gluten free.

I've accumulated a couple GF cookbooks since I was diagnosed with celiac disease. This is by FAR my favorite. Just about every recipe I've tried from this book- bread, muffins, pound cake- has been great. Even my friends, who don't need to eat gluten free, have loved them.

I bought this book based on other reviews, and I was not disappointed. It was even better than I had hoped. The book has great recipes, and I've already made the muffins, and have plans to do a lot of baking over the holidays. Unless you tell someone they are eating a gluten-free product, they don't know it. The banana nut muffins were very tender and delicious, and my husband really liked them. This book is so exceptional that I bought a second copy - I'm paranoid of losing it, and/or getting drool stains on the pages. These recipes are well-thought out and clearly written. I'd recommend that you read the entire book before you start baking, so you can decide what to make first. The only colour pictures are on the front and back covers and there are a very few grey and white ones scattered though the book. More would have been nice, but I don't consider it absolutely essential. I value good recipes and clear directions more, which you definitely get with this book. I am going to buy a few more copies to gift gluten-free and celiac friends with. The price is very reasonable, and the book is invaluable to those of us that can't eat gluten. It's a real bargain, and has a wide range of recipes for just about any occasion or specific food that you can imagine. I am definitely loving this book, and this author. I hope she puts out another book or two. She is easily the best gluten-free author that I've come across, and I have read a lot of books by different authors. She is a creative, inspired cook, and a very good communicator. This book will keep you busy in the kitchen. Next up for me is the fabulous cake on the front cover, and then on to the cookies. Bread can wait, but sweets can't! I don't eat a lot of them at any one time, but my husband is a willing taster, and dispatches anything that I can't eat with amazing rapidity. The muffins were gone before they had a chance to get stale. I also like that she gives storage and freezing tips and times. This is one of those books that you only rarely find. I was lucky and if you buy this book, you will count yourself lucky too. Buy a copy before I buy the stock out for my friends! It really is that good.

Today in America there are approximately three million people who are allergic to wheat, having a condition diagnosed as 'Celiac Disease'. These are people who must avoid the consumption of gluten and therefore all traditional wheat-based baked goods from breads, to muffins, to cakes, to even the simple donut. Now in a significantly revised and expanded second edition, "Gluten-Free Baking Classics" by Annalise G. Roberts offers a culinary wealth of 'kitchen cook friendly', delicious, gluten-free baked goods that will result in cakes and muffins, pies and tart shells, cookies and brownies, pizza crusts and sandwich breads, pancakes and pastas that are as light, as flavorful, and as filling as those made with wheat. Of special note are the 'Chef's Notes' providing tips and advice throughout. Enhanced with the inclusion of an introduction to gluten free baking, a section listing measurements and equivalents, and a comprehensive index, the recipes range from such classics as Cinnamon Rolls; Buttermilk Biscuits; Gingerbread; and Chocolate Doughnuts; to more exotic fare as Hazelnut Biscotti; Savory Crepes; Babka (Ukrainian Style); and Golden Italian Bread with Raisins and Fennel. "Gluten-Free Baking Classics" is a welcome addition to community library cookbook collections in general, and the family cookbook shelves of anyone having to deal with Celiac Disease for themselves or a loved one.
