Books
Adding to a growing list of cookbooks with recipes for gluten-free
dishes that don’t disappoint is A Cook’s
Bible Gluten-Free, Wheat-Free & Dairy-Free Recipes: More Than
100 Mouth-Watering Recipes for the Whole Family, by
Grace Cheetham, published by Duncan Baird Publishers (www.dpb.co.uk)
And a great new guide has also just been published. If you’ve
recently been diagnosed with celiac disease or even merely suspect
that you may be gluten-intolerant, you’ve got a long list
of urgent questions. Consider them asked and answered. Suzanne Bowland
has amassed a wealth of knowledge in nearly seven years of living
gluten free and shares it in The Living Gluten-Free
Answer Book: Answers to 275 of Your Most Pressing Questions.
The book will not only spare the newly diagnosed from engaging in
weeks, months, or even years of often-fruitless fact-finding missions
and frustrating experimentation, it may also offer new tips and
tricks on every aspect of gluten-free living for people who already
know the basics. It’s an invaluable guide, both for gluten-intolerant
individuals and the healthcare professionals who care for them.
