The Big Book of Gluten Free Cooking: Delicious Meals, Breads, and Sweets for a Happy, Healthy Gluten-Free Life

This is my new favorite cookbook and it will remain a book I turn to for years to come.It has been living on my countertop since I received it and I have been trying one recipe after another. Each time, I am blown away by the simple, well-written recipes, and the exceptional taste. (Lime/lemon zest in roasted broccoli is pretty revolutionary!)There is so much valuable, comprehensive information within this book, from the basics of gluten-free cooking to the secrets behind how the ingredients work in the recipes. As someone who cooks often, I can see how Gigi has used expert techniques to bring out the best in each recipe.I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to eat a healthy gluten-free diet!

This book addresses many needs people who are new to a gluten free life-style would find extremely helpful. My husband (who does not require a GF diet), and I have thoroughly enjoyed several recipes from this book. So far we have made the Gigi's Everyday Gluten Free flour and have used it in the veggie pizza (that did not taste like cardboard) the flatbread; Perfect Gravy Every Time we had with the Roasted Harissa Chicken, mash potatoes and peas. We have enjoyed the Easy Lo Mein, the Cilantro-Lime Slaw with the Grilled Jerk Chicken Tenders; the Persian-Spiced Carrot Hummus with Versatile Flatbread and tomorrow evening we are having the Grilled Flank Steak. Not one disappointment.This book contains a recipe index that notes Dairy Free, Egg Free, Vegan and Vegetarian recipes. Each recipe provides the number of people it serves, prep-time, cook time, single pot, ingredient tips and allergen tips along with the all important calories, total fat, carbs, etc..If I had this book two years ago, my transition to a GF diet would have been significantly easier. Thank you Gigi Stewart for the effort put into this!!

So far, everything thing I’ve tried from this book has been really tasty. I like the chapter on a gluten free kitchen. Helps you get the basics if you don’t already know them.

Since getting a celiac diagnosis, then becoming lactose intolerant, then finding out two family members have severe allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, and dairy, I was really getting into a rut of making the same “safe” food all the time. I’ve enjoyed the items in this book because I’ve been able to mix things up a bit. I’m pescatarian and there are still so many great things to make! I can adapt a lot of the recipes to accommodate my likes and the allergies...and the author makes a lot of suggestions for changing up dishes to accommodate allergies and tastes as well. My favorites so far have been the butternut squash soup and the marinade for fish tacos (I used tilapia instead of cod). Particularly like the sheet pan tilapia with ginger-lime butter as well...so easy to make. The recipes are easy to follow and aren’t fussy. Looking forward to making more from the book!

I appreciate the organization of this cookbook which makes recipes easy to find. The Gluten free flour, and the Baking Mix recipes are great economy savers, and have been used successfully in all my recipes, including ones I have been using that I got online. All the recipes that I have tried have tasted good. My grandson, who lives with me, has celiac disease, so we are a gluten free Household.

It has many gluten free recipes and I have only a “gluten sensitivity “ not a gluten allergy, which was the only element I searched and this book was rated high. However, because I read reviews superficially, I did not notice the recipes also include everything else like dairy free, and by my standards,essentially taste-free. If you must eliminate many ingredients, this is probably for you.

Many recipes for gluten-free baked goods do not taste nearly as good as their gluten-filled counterparts. That is not the case with the recipes in Gigi Stewart's new book. I made the banana bread with chocolate chips for my family and all of them loved it and they would not have known it was gluten-free had I not told them. These recipes are excellent and not complicated. This book is a must for everyone who has celiac disease or other wise eats gluten-free for life.

We are new to Gluten Free cooking and lifestyle, this book is easy to you has "comfort food" recipes. She just makes the transition so easy!

I have been following Gigi Stewart on social media ever since I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2015 and I was impatient to receive the book!Most recipes call for ingredients that can be found easily in health shops or online, which celiac patients are used to doing anyway, and the author almost always suggest possible substitutions and also "make-ahead tips", super useful for those who are into meal prep and batch cooking.Another excellent point is the use of weight rather than volume for most ingredients: a huge plus for this European customer!!This book should be in every gluten-free kitchen.

Good basic recipes for g f

Really enjoyed reading

I was hoping to find a gluten free cookbook. Unless you live local to author, how am I supposed to find the mystery flours to satisfy my needs?Perhaps the cover and description could suggest the specific mystery brand flours, so readers know if they can easily access them!
