Great Information

I actually bought this book for my daughter, as her boyfriend must make the choice to live gluten-freee-his entire life. The information was very helpful for my daughter and educating her on the best choices for meals each and every day. Thanks for the enless recipes...

A different way to feel good

I am anxious to try some of the gluten-Free meals shown here. They sound good and when you dont know how to cook without gluten a person needs all the help they can get.

You wouldn't be a dummy if you bought this book!

I purchased this book for my future mother-in-law because I own several "For Dummies" books myself. Don't be fooled by the title, even if you think you are incredibly smart and know all there is to know about Celiac Disease, this book could still teach you a few new things. The "For Dummies" books are easy to use as reference books because they are so well indexed and also easy to understand as they lack difficult to understand technical jargon without explanation. My mother-in-law has been living with Celiac Disease for a very long time and has learned to live with it and cook meals for herself. However, after going through this book, she said she had a million post-its marking things in the book already and had already learned about tons of things she wasn't aware of. She also said that she was going to tell her father and other family members who also have the disease, as it is hereditary. In addition to the great, detailed info the book contains, it also has some very delicious recipes. Just yesterday, I made several of the soups which are all yummy and am now addicted to the South of the Border cheeseball recipe which I make into a dip. In closing, for the price and the content, you wouldn't be a dummy to purchase this book, I highly recommend it! Have a great day!

Must have!

This book is a must have for anyone with Celiac Disease or Gluten Intolerance. It enables you to cook and eat like a "normal" person.

Don't be fooled by title - much more than just cooking tips

I was pleasantly surprised that the book goes far beyond gluten-free cooking tips and recipes. I have read Korn's other 3 books, and all have been tremendously helpful, and even inspiring. The gluten-free diet can be a shocker (give up your beer, your bread, your tasty baked treats, etc.), but the author somehow makes it easy to understand the nuances of this tricky diet. You feel like you are getting one-on-one expert advice in an easygoing, relaxed style. It's weird, but you feel like you know the author after reading the book. The book is even funny. For anyone starting out on a gluten-free diet, any of Korn's books are winners. If you also like to cook, this is a double dose of education. You will probably refer to it often. Highly recommended on all counts.
