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.
Bette Hagman, a.k.a. the Gluten-free Gourmet, was diagnosed as a celiac over twenty years ago, she has devoted her time to creating recipes for gluten-free flours. A writer and lecturer, she lives in Seattle, Washington.

July 13, 2009: I've made a few things from this book so far, and they have all been very tasty. The waffle recipe comes out even better than my traditional wheat waffles. I'm looking forward to making more recipes from this book. The only con I can find so far is that it has no illustrations, which would come in handy.
