Customer Reviews

I am excited about cooking again ...

This book has the best yeast breads of any gluten-free breads I have tried, both homemade and store-bought! The other baked goods, main dishes, and side dishes I have tried from this book are excellent as well. I am excited about cooking again and delighted that the recipes have appealed to my entire family.

The title says it all ...

As the owner of many gluten free cookbooks, this one has a permanent space on our kitchen counter! I serve my entire family from the recipes in this book nearly every night. I would recommend Jennifer's book for beginner cooks as well as the more experienced. Grace L.

We like yours better, Mom!

Sent this book to my daughter who recently has been diagnosed with celiac sprue disease. She had found several gluten free recipes which she used but was delighted to find a whole book with so many tastful recipes. Her daughters told her after trying many of the dishes from the book that they liked this version better than dishes that have gluten in them.

Great baked goods

Jennifer Cinquepalmi is not, as far as I know, a professional chef. The cookbook, quite refreshingly, reads much like a church or community cookbook: The recipes are simple, as are the directions. While I cannot vouch for the main courses that contain meat (I'm a vegetarian), I can tell you that the baked goods alone are worth the price of the book. Especially convenient is the recipe for the "Individual Freezer Pizza Crusts." The crusts taste great, stay crisp, and are so easy to make. As for the quick breads, cookies & cakes, she does not shy away from sugar or shortening, so the occasional treat, really is a treat. I will mention this book is for those that have gluten-intolerance as their sole food issue. While Cinquepalmi does offer some substitutions for eggs and only a very few recipes contain corn or nuts, if you are looking to omit dairy, look elsewhere. For the rest of us, this is a must-have gluten-free cookbook.

Awesome Cookbook

I have attended several of Jennifer's cooking classes.The food she prepares is delicious. Most of her recipes are adjusted from family recipes plus some new ones. If you are eating Gluten Free this is a must for you. A great gift for someone you know that is Celiac or GF.
