Wheat-free-cooking expert Carol Fenster reveals her time-saving tips and techniques to help cooks put homemade meals on the table in a flash.
In Carol Fenster's gluten-free cooking classes, the most frequently asked question is "How can I get a meal on the table in the least amount of time?" So often, cooking gluten-free means spending hours in the kitchen-making everything from scratch. But now, Fenster reveals all her shortcuts, tips, and timesaving techniques from nearly twenty years as the gluten-free cooking authority. The Quick & Easy principles in this book will get cooks in and out of the kitchen with less fuss than ever before.
In Gluten-Free Quick & Easy, a hot meal makes it to the table without a complicated ingredient list or a lengthy wait. Fenster emphasizes the necessity of "planned-overs"-not "left-overs"- that creatively use elements of one meal in the preparation of another, whether it becomes an ingredient the next day, the next week, or the next month. Recipes for make-ahead baking mixes and techniques to shorten baking times means cooks stay on track. And her comprehensive menu plans and ideas help pull together a week's worth of meals with ease.
Fenster's simple but delicious recipes include favorites like hearty breads, pizzas, and pasta. In less time than ever before, gluten-free cooks can whip up homestyle entrĀes and side dishes, tasty breakfasts, and elegant desserts for every meal of the day, every day of the week.

August 01, 2009: I really like this cook book. It has some scrumptious recipes I am excited to try. Unfortunately it isn't designed for the person on a real budget. The ingredients she has are really expensive here. I am trying to buy what I can as I can afford it. I really like the explinations at the beginning of the book. I appreciate how she tells the various ingredients work in a recipe.

May 03, 2009: This book was very helpful to me. I was diagnosed with Celiac 4 days before obatining this book. It was one of three and the first one out of the three that I go to for cooking and baking. My family and I have loved everything I have made so far out this book for dinner. It was also very helpful in educating me on how to set up my kitchen and my lunchbox for work.
