SS&GF for dabblers like me,

Ce commentaire est de: Simply Sugar- and Gluten-Free Meals in 20 Minutes: 180 Easy and Delicious Recipes (Paperback)
I dabble in gluten free. And sugar free. And this free and that free. Sometimes because I am catering to an allergy. Sometimes because I'm curious. My family does not have food allergies (although the more I dabble, the more I suspect many minor ailments are food related). My family is, more or less, healthy.My naturopath suggested trying a 'detox' diet. No milk, no gluten, no sugar, eggs, soy, peanuts, corn, tomato, grapefruit, meat. The list seemed endless. The little booklet she gave me had about 2 dozen recipes. Not enough for 6 weeks. I began my search and that is when I found Amy at [...]. I still had to substitute ingredients but this was a jumping off point. A place to start! So when Amy's cookbook came out. Well. You know how people cringe when you tell them "it's *----* free" they think it's going to be tasteless or just plain bad. My kids and husband, who did much of my detox with me by default, do NOT cringe when I say "I've made a (Vanilla Bean Sponge) cake out of beans with no sugar in it." (pg167) They can't wait to dig in. They love Banana Oat Muffins for breakfast (pg7). Friday night has become pizza night (pg84). My son puts broccoli on his. My favorite things about this cookbook are, it's going to sound silly, not even the recipes. Amy has put a kitchen guide in the back to help understand the differences between flours and white sugar alternatives. And other things that you just want in your kitchen. Things to watch for that often have gluten in them through processing. Also, ingredient substitutions. VERY helpful! Because not all grocery stores carry all these things. I would wish for pictures. I like seeing how things are supposed to look, but many of the recipes have pictures on her website so that helps. Give it try. If your just starting out on a gluten/sugar free journey or you need new recipes in your baking arsenal. This is a great book in your kitchen.

Simply Amazing,

This is such a valuable cookbook for everyone! There are so many great recipes (my current fave is the easy as pie Socca pizza recipe). Amy makes gluten-free and sugar-free seem easy. What I love about Amy's approach is she teaches us how to still enjoy the foods we love - with a much healthier twist. Her dessert recipes always turn out for me, and I find them all very easy to play with. The book has some excellent frosting ideas too - without the use of highly refined icing sugar. I love it. I'm vegan and have found this to be an excellent cookbook to have in my collection (the Black Bean Tostadas were delish). I bought my Mom a copy too and she's completely new to gluten-free and sugar-free. Amy's book will really help ease her transition.

Amy's first book truly does shine with a mittful of EASY recipes for anyone that's new to a sugar free or gluten free diet. There are also substitution suggestions within many of the recipes for those that are vegan, vegetarian, egg or dairy free as well as tips & variations offered at every turn. A great addition to the book however would be pictures. I do love a cookbook with pictures...Everything from appetizers such as Crispy Prosciutto Deviled Eggs to Blueberry Lemon Scones & Summer Scrambled Egg Crepes for breakfast. All the bases are covered with decadent desserts and pizza crusts, naturally gluten or sugar free items to those with not-as-mainstream substitutions. And did I mention easy? The title does say "Easy & Delicious Recipes You Can Make in 20 Minutes or Less". She speaks the truth! You don't need to be a gourmet with time to spare to cook up tasty & healthy meals.
