Gluten is primarily found in wheat, rye, barley and oats. A recent study suggests that one in 250 Americans cannot tolerate gluten. Many suffer from Celiac disease, a digestive disorder that damages the small intestine and interferes with the absorption of nutrients from food. Many others also suffer from food allergies that trigger a wheat or gluten sensitivity. Quite often, the only treatment is a gluten-free diet.
The Best Gluten-Free Family Cookbook features sensational recipes for baked goods, desserts, and main meals -- foods that are typically avoided in gluten-free diets. Here is a sampling of the appetizing recipes: - Blueberry Orange Muffins or Loaf - Rum and Pecan Pie - Lotsa Lemon Squares - Triple Threat Chocolate Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies - Grilled Salmon and Roasted Peppers with Fusilli - Cranberry and Wild Rice Stuffing - Quinoa Stuffed Peppers.
Accompanying each recipe is a wealth of tips and techniques for novice and experienced cooks alike.

Finally!:
I purchased this book for my mother. She was recently diagnosed with allergies to wheat (gluten). She already tried a couple of recipes and loves this book. It is a must have in her opinion. She has found some of the ingredients difficult to find in her small town, however they travel to a larger metropolitan area about once a month and she picks up what ingredients she needs there at a health food store.
This Gluten-Free Cook Book Is A Keeper:
Since both granchildren have Celiac's Disease, we had to find some gluten-free recipes that didn't make them feel deprived. The great reviews of this book are well-earned. Try the Chocolate Chip Bars. They were greedily gobbled up by both gluten-free and 'regular' eaters to great delight. They also keep very well, so make a double batch. I heartily recommend this book. And, there are some lovely color pictures if you need some inspiration. Gluten-free does not mean 'taste-free', especially with this book... more info
Just ok...:
This cookbook was ok, but seemed to have MANY ingredients to make each thing. If you have a lot of time, then I guess it would be worth it.
