Product Description
Review
Blogger Ahern's story sheds light on celiac disease, a little-known and difficult-to-diagnose autoimmune condition. Those afflicted cannot digest gluten, a protein in wheat, barley, rye, and related grains. Ahern explains how she learned of her malady and found that she was able to enjoy food while avoiding gluten. She even met and married a chef. This entertaining memoir includes gluten-free gourmet recipes. (Library Journal, February 1, 2008)

Gluten-Free Girl, with its gluten-free healthful approach, seeks to bring a love of eating back to our diets.

However, Gluten-Free Girl shows readers how to say yes to the foods they can eat. Written by award-winning blogger Shauna James, who became a interested in food once she was diagnosed with celiac disease and went gluten-free, Gluten-Free Girl is filled with funny accounts of the author’s own life including wholesome, delicious recipes, this book will guide readers to the simple pleasures of real, healthful food. Includes dozens of recipes like salmon with blackberry sauce, sorghum bread, and lemon olive oil cookies as well as resources for those living gluten-free.

Go Gluten Free Girl Go,
This review is from: Gluten-Free Girl: How I Found the Food That Loves Me Back...And How You Can Too (Hardcover)
I really enjoyed this book because it mirrored some of my own experience with gluten--I love Shauna's descriptions of food (both good and bad for her) and how the recipes come directly out of the narrative.This is not strictly speaking a cook book, it is not (by strictest standard) a self-help book, but her memoir and advice are very useful for someone with gluten intolerance and her writing style is very engaging. Her attitude about food is fantastic--she's not deprived, she's an explorer.

Opening a door to the discovery of new foods.,
This review is from: Gluten-Free Girl: How I Found the Food That Loves Me Back...And How You Can Too (Hardcover)
When someone initially discovers they are celiac, or gluten intolerant, they will likely feel a fair bit of resentment for all the foods they can no longer eat. Shauna flips this on it's head and helps you realise just how narrow focussed our food sources really are. With incredible enthusiasm for her food, she shows you how not eating gluten only opens a door to so many wonderful foods you never knew existed. She helped me turn that resentment, first into acceptance of my condition, then into the simple joy of discovering new foods. I will always be grateful for discovering this book.

Disappointed,
By Jillenium (Halifax, NS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gluten-Free Girl: How I Found the Food That Loves Me Back...And How You Can Too (Paperback)
I was very disappointed with the contents of the book. I was interested to learn about gluten free eating and celiac disease and not interested in the author's life. I should have read the subtitle more closely before buying. lol
