What a delightful recipe book! Erin McKenna shows us the FUN in gluten-free breads! She gives a tasty array of scrumptious bread recipes that are healthy and safe for the gluten-free person to indulge in. Maybe you picked up this book because you are gluten-free because medical health restrictions. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed in this book. But you don't have to be on a gluten-free diet to enjoy and be enticed to try these amazing recipes.
This recipe book isn't written by a dreamer. It is written by Ms McKenna who herself adheres to a gluten-free diet. Not only does she eat these breads herself, she sells them in her own bakery, BabyCakes, in New York! So to say these recipes are tried and true is an understatement.
The book begins with a chapter on assistance with understanding and stocking your pantry with the correct ingredients. She explains which ingredients can be swapped and which must be used exactly as prescribed. The next chapter is a very useful one called: The Help Desk. This contains frequently asked questions about making gluten-free breads. Then we get into the good stuff - the recipes themselves! Breakfast breads, hearty breads, sandwich breads...but there's more! Yes, even pizza and focaccia, foreign breads, pastries, cookies and sweets. She even added a chapter just for dips, dressings, sauces, spreads and butter. Every recipe is gluten-free and vegan! Which is a real plus!
I must give a nod of approval to the photography in this exceptional book! I turned a page and raised my hand to flick off the crumbs from the page. I literally laughed out loud at myself because it was a photograph of bread with crumbs!
I received this book free from the publishers and was not required to write a positive review.
