Book Reviews of The Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread: More Than 200 Wheat-Free Recipes

Book Review: My Favorite Cookbook
Summary: 5 Stars

There are so many "Gluten Free" cookbooks available today that offer gluten free versions of just about anything you might want to cook and eat..but most are just regurgitated standard recipes, who needs a gluten free version of something that is naturally gluten free anyway..it's a big waste of money. NOW, BAKING is a totally different story...this does require completely different recipes.

To bake successfully without using Gluten laden flour requires tossing out a standard recipe almost completely and finding a mixture of several other ingredients to achieve the resulting effect of just the ONE missing component, not easily done for us standard cooks.

Baking isn't like cooking...it requires more exacting measurements to produce an edible product. Yuck, have you ever baked a recipe and left out an ingredient by accident? Yup, forgetting that ONE little thing...gave rise to a hockey puck instead of a fluffy biscuit.

After reading alot of the reviews about the recipes in the cookbook I am left to surmise that there are alot of people either not reading the recipes correctly or just not bothering to follow them at all....you WILL get a gummy product if you dump an entire packet of gelatin into ONE batch of bread, your yeast won't respond as well to liquid that isn't warm enough, and adding more of one ingredient when you run out of the one you need won't yield the same results. "rolls eyes"

To blame the cookbook or author for one's own inability to put together a recipe is kind of lame...sounds more like a case of blatant stupidity if you ask me.

I have all Ms. Hagman's books, as well as just about every other Gluten Free cookbook available(so, listen, I have a thing for cookbooks, get over it). Most of the other cookbook's have baking recipes that rely on a cheaper more granular rice flour, which gives your finished baked goods that "horrid fall apart-y commercially produced Gluten Free Bread quality" that sent us running for better home baked alternatives in the first place. What's the point of going through all that work for a poor quality bread? eh, might as well go without.

Ms. Hagman has done the hardest part for us, she has already tested and refined these recipes over the years and was generous enough to share them with us, a little appreciation wouldn't be out of order people.

I eat just as well on a Gluten Free diet as I did before I was diagnosed, with the help of cookbooks like this one of course and I would definately like to say adding this book has helped so much in my quest for good food. Sticking to a Gluten Free diet doesn't have to be like being slapped with a life sentance filled with tasteless low quality food "alternatives".

Seriously, the SPRINGY CORN BREAD recipe changed my life. It is the most outstanding corn bread recipe, bar none, I have ever eaten.

Grab this book.... and Get off your butt and BAKE something already!!

Summary of The Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread: More Than 200 Wheat-Free Recipes

A breakthrough bread book by the unchallenged expert in gluten-free and wheat-free cooking

In Bette Hagman's three earlier cookbooks, she worked with gluten-free flours that are safe for celiacs (those who are intolerant to gluten) and for those with wheat allergies to create recipes for great- tasting food. Knowing from her own hard-earned experience that bread is the greatest loss for those who can't eat wheat, oats, rye, or barley, she has experimented with exciting new bean-based flours and has devoted an entire book to breads. Here are yeast breads, yeast-free breads, muffins, rolls, buns, breakfast breads, and crackers-a vast array of recipes for the oven or the bread machine-for people who cannot buy breads at a bakery or supermarket but must rely on their own kitchens to provide the staff of life.

Along with dozens of great recipes are: a beginner's guide to understanding and cooking with gluten-free flours; answers to commonly asked questions about baking with these flours; and a source list of where to buy gluten-free baking supplies.
