Hundreds of tasty, nutritious recipes and menus without wheat or gluten. Who must avoid wheat? People with celiac disease, who are unable to tolerate wheat, and people with food allergies-all in all, an estimated 10 to 15 percent of Americans. Wheat and wheat products are present in some form in almost every processed food product-not just bread, cereal, pasta, and other flour-based products, but also such unexpected items as licorice, cream soups, sauces, condiments, and even some medicines. Managing to eat a healthful diet that completely eliminates this nearly ubiquitous grain can be a real challenge. Written by a leader in the field of cooking for people with food sensitivities, Wheat-Free Recipes makes it possible to enjoy all of your favorite foods without wheat or gluten, including breads, pancakes, waffles, muffins, biscuits, cookies, cakes, casseroles-even pizza. Having a wheat sensitivity no longer means resigning yourself to dietary boredom or settling for foods with unhealthful levels of fat or salt in an attempt to make up for missing flavor. Dr. Fenster's recipes emphasize fresh, wholesome ingredients and simple, clear instructions that make for easy, fail-proof preparation of mouthwatering meals.

Disappointed:
I received this book as a gift from a friend. After trying many recipes in this book, it leaves me scratching my head. I have tried the desserts and came out with horrible results, I tried some a the entrees and found that they require major tweaking in some cases.

Wheat Free Recipes and Menus:
This is an excellent source for gluten free recipes and menus.
I bought the it specifically for the menus and I like them a lot.
I do wish there were more vegetarian menus. I have the same complaint of all of Carol Fenster's books.
One complaint I personally have, I'm not a big fan of cilantro and found this to be a major ingredient in many of these recipes, it would be nice if there was an alternative herb to use in place of it. I've found that cilantro is one of those things that people... more info
Misleading title:
What a disappointment. Despite the title this is just one of the plethora of gluten-free recipe collections.
If you simply need to eliminate wheat from your diet, not necessarily give up all gluten, this is NOT the right choice.
Good cookbook for a midwestern boy needing comfort food:
The recipes are very good but I had a lot of trouble finding some of the ingredients she used. We went to trader joes and whole foods and still could not find a few of the items. It's a good book to help convert someone to a wheat-free diet, especially someone who loves all things wheat. My husband gave up the diet after a few weeks but I still have the cookbook and use it occasionally. Some of the ideas are great.
