Gluten-Free, Deliciously! Main Dish Recipes on Nov. 10, 2013

This is a concise book written by a husband and wife team of Ph.D. research scientists. (Yes, advanced education and the "scientific process" DO make a difference.) The Olins team of authors initially discuss who this book is written for, and then concisely and authoritatively review what gluten is and the problems that consuming gluten can cause. They discuss "gluten-free safety tips," and establishing a gluten-free kitchen." The bulk of the book is comprised of "delicious and nutritious" recipes, complete with attractive pictures. Personally, when I think of anything "gluten-free," I think of "bland, boring and tasteless," as well as "crumbly," as in the case of baked goods like muffins or brownies. None of these things have ever been particularly appealing to me. And ... with better ingredients and just a bit more guidance, this no longer need be the case. Accomplished cooks in their own right, the Olins authors tasted and tested all of the many gluten-free recipes on friends and family, both with and without gluten sensitivities. The recipes in this book represent "the best of the best," as determined by their many "taste testers." As I hear of more of my friends and family members who have become aware of their own gluten sensitivities, one of the most conclusive (and inexpensive!) diagnostic tools that they have used to make this determination is to simply eat gluten-free for a period of time and see if they feel better. Often, they do. Give this book a try and you might feel better, too.
