(More customer reviews)Bette has done her usual great job at describing Celiac Sprue, Gluten freeliving, using gluten free ingredients and baking and cooking with thischallenging diet.
In this book Bette shows how to make up"mixes" for we who are gluten challenged. For example sheexplains cake and bread flour mixes, my two favorites, that can be made upin large quantities, mixed very well and stored for later use. This makesit as convenient to bake a gluten free cake, as it is to make one from oneof those boxes from the grocery-baking aisle. There are many other mixes.(I counted 36.) One of my favorite everyday mixes is Onion Soup. I use itwhen cooking meats and stews. This one alone has saved my day when thechildren's activities take up all my time and energy and I just could nothave sliced and diced and browned and simmered, etc, to get the onion basefor the gravy just right.
Bette supplies recipes for lots of the hard tofind things like Sweet and Sour sauce, Sweet Pickle relish, low-fatdressing and lots more. She also explains some very helpful substitutionslike things to use in baking if you have lactose intolerance and Sprue (andthe taste doesn't overwhelm in the final product).
Just seeing how Bettecreates her mixes and uses them in her recipes is a great education. Onceyou start using this book you probably will get the courage to try out yourown mixes or vary Bette's until it meets with your palates delight.
Herrecipes are easy to use. She explains the directions well. The end productis delightful.
I love this book and refer to it often even when I am notusing it to bake. I take it to the grocery store to use as a reference.
