For the estimated three million Americans suffering from Celiac disease, wheat allergies, and severe gluten sensitivities, Asian food is usually off-limits because its signature ingredients—noodles, soy sauce, and oyster sauce—typically contain wheat. In the Gluten-Free Asian Kitchen, food writer Laura B. Russell shows home cooks how to convert the vibrant cuisines of China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam into gluten-free favorites.
Authentically flavored dishes such as Crispy Spring Rolls, Gingery Pork Pot Stickers, Korean Green Onion Pancakes, Soba Noodles with Stir-Fried Shiitake Mushrooms, Salt and Pepper Squid, and Pork Tonkatsu will be delicious additions to any gluten-free repertoire.
Along with sharing approachable and delicious recipes, Russell demystifies Asian ingredients and helps readers navigate the grocery store. Beautifully photographed and designed for easy weeknight eating, this unique cookbook’s wide range of dishes from a variety of Asian cuisines will appeal to the discriminating tastes of today’s gluten-free cooks.

OMG. This cookbook is so well done. Thank you so much Laura Russell! I haven't had a dumpling in 18 months since going gluten free. We are now devouring the Gingery Pork Pot Stickers and the Sticky Rice Dumplings with Chicken and Mushrooms.I particularly liked the section "Identifying Sources of Gluten in Common Asian Ingredients." I now know to be careful of several I had no idea might contain gluten. And now, since this cookbook includes several sauce recipes with a great variety of flavors, I can make my own for home use or to take along to my favorite asian joints. Highly recommend. Fantastic.

excellent book - fills a real need

This is a beautifully illustrated and very well-written book that fills a pressing need - how to make delicious gluten-free asian dishes (that are typically hands off for those who don't eat gluten). The author has a nice voice, the pictures are very inviting and the recipes are creative and sound great. Only tried a few so far - and with great success. My impression is the author is scrupulous about testing and retesting each recipe - reassuring quality control. Also that the author - who is a noted writer and advocate in the "gluten-free arena" - is clearly dedicated to her mission.
Looking forward to working my way through many more of the recipes.
On another note, my friend who is a Nutritional Therapist and very particular about recipe books - especially those that focus on gluten-free food - calls this "a great book"

A must for every gluten-free cookbook library

If you love Asian food and have to be gluten-free, you want to buy this cookbook. Some recipes are complex but others are easy enough to do on a weeknight (more involved recipes like the dough for the pot stickers can be started ahead). Scared of rice paper? Don't be, after you read thru these recipes. Miss lovely Asian dip-able finger food? There are recipes for that. Always wanted to try some Asian food but you can't now that you're gluten-free? You'll be covered. And the ingredient lists and instructions are very well done and easy to follow (and also adapt).
