Cookbook Review ~ the Dairy-free & Gluten-free Kitchen
The cookbook that I am reviewing today not only helps those on a gluten-free diet, but also those that require to eat dairy-free as well. The Dairy-Free and Gluten-Free Kitchen by Denise Jardine contains 150 recipes that are both free from dairy and gluten. In this book you will find recipes for pizza, pancakes, French toast, lasagna, ice cream, brownies and more. I must say, the pizza pictured on the front cover has really got me intrigued. It uses a Creamy Macadamia Pine Nut Cheese, which is featured on page 175. I am really quite impressed with this book. Besides … Continue reading
Cookbook Review ~ Gluten-free Makeovers
Gluten-free Makeovers, written by Beth Hillson, is the next cookbook that I will be reviewing. This cookbook has over 175 recipes that are made over to be gluten-free. This cookbook includes family favorites such as Oven-Fried Chicken Nuggest to Mexican Pizza. But it also includes yummy baked good like Auntie’s Apple Cake and Banana Chip Muffins. A picture is worth a thousand words, and there is one colour section with some great looking pictures. I wish there were more, but I understand that this is done to keep the cost of the book down (which they succeeded at, the book … Continue reading
Cookbook Review ~ The Gluten-Free Baking Book
Now, in the past, I have been contacted by publishers asking if I would like to review their company’s newly released gluten-free cookbooks. The answer is always a quick “YES” because I love looking through new cookbooks. I actually love looking through them even if they are not gluten-free cookbooks, because you can get a lot of great ideas and inspiration from them. THIS cookbook though, the Gluten-Free Baking book by Donna Washburn & Heather Butt, is one that I asked to review. I saw this book in the store right when it was newly released, and I wanted to … Continue reading
Cookbook Review ~ Gluten-Free in Five Minutes
I get contacted occasionally to test out new cookbooks. I enjoy this little perk of blogging, because it gives me a chance to see what is out there, and lets me give YOU my honest opinion of a book. You never know. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised when I get a new cookbook. Enters Roben Ryberg‘s new cookbook “Gluten-Free in Five Minutes“. I will admit to you, I was very hesitant to try this book. I flinched a little when I read the words “Make ‘Em in Your Microwave”. Not much good has ever been baked in the microwave, much … Continue reading
Gluten-Free Cookie Surprise Cupcakes from Elana’s Pantry
A while back, before cream cheese took over my life, Kara from Ten Speed Press contacted me, wondering if I would like to review Elana Amsterdam’s newest cookbook, Gluten-Free Cupcakes. Absolutely!! I love cupcakes. And I need gluten-free. It was a perfect fit. First off, I do not do a lot of baking with coconut flour, or almond flour, both of which are the required flours for this book. So, after a trip to the store, I was ready to start. I had a hard time deciding which cupcakes to make to review for you guys, since Elana’s cookbook is … Continue reading

I like to page through a cookbook, read it, mark off some recipes to try, and make a few recipes before writing a review. “Gluten Free on Shoestring” is all about living gluten-free without breaking the … Continue reading
A Cookbook Review – The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten-Free
I’m sure that you’ve all heard of the Cake Mix Doctor. If you haven’t, her name is Anne Byrn, and she has created recipes to take those boxed cake mixes, and make them into great cookies, bars, cakes & Bundts. You use the cake mix as the base, and add in different ingredients, making it easier than “from scratch” baking. When I was contacted and asked if I would like to review The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten-Free and I was a little hesitant (with cake mixes being over $5 a piece, who wouldn’t be?). But, I like trying new … Continue reading
