cook book
So far, this is the BEST gluten free recipe book I have found. The food tastes more like "real" food than any others I've bought

informative and tasty
This cookbook is such a tremendous resource, especially for those newly-diagnosed and struggling to make a drastic lifestyle change.Every time I get a new copy I find myself giving it away!

The fact that Jules gives us the recipe for her own gluten-free flour is astounding b/c it is truly interchangeable with any recipe calling for wheat flour.Have you checked the prices of and tasted other gluten-free flours recently?Costly and nothing to brag about, so I don't understand the previous reviewer's comment about the book being nothing but a plug for her product.Her only 'product' is providing information and recipes for those wanting to cook and eat gluten free.

Go ahead and use the flour recipe found in the introduction to make the scones on pg.94; then you can thank Jules for the generousity of sharing her flour recipe (that she could easily charge for) because you really can't tell that they're gluten-free.And as for the dried beef comment --all I can say is, "where's the beef?"Nowhere in this book could I find a recipe calling for dried beef because, as the reviewer said, ewww.

More of an ad
I didn't find this cookbook as helpful as I had hoped.More than anything they seem to be pushing their gluten free product.

Great Cookbook!!!
Who needs wheat or gluten when you have this cookbook!
I am still trying out the amazing recipes.My favorite one at the moment is the Zucchini bread.I made 2 loafs of this at Christmas time and by the end of the day one loaf was gone, by the second day the second one was gone!It was a huge hit!Especially by those who normally eat wheat and gluten products, they couldn't believe it didn't have those in it!
Highly recommend!This is a MUST in a gluten free/wheat free household!!!

Insightful
This is not just a cookbook, it is a guide for folks with celiac disease to live a more normal life.The author shares her life experiences making this a personal journal of sorts in addition to a cookbook. ... Read more

Not up to date
This book was back ordered so I assumed it was a new version. Not So. Some of the information in this book is good. It was published in 2002. A great deal has changed in the last 5 years, in the world of Celiac Disease. I saw no reference dates in the book later than 2001. Many of the websites listed no longer exist: the URLs were incorrect or outdated. For Example: the Gluten Intolerance Group is no longer in Seattle, WA, It is in Auburn, WA. I was anxiously awaiting this book but I have returned it and am waiting for a real "Revised and Updated" version, not another publishing run of a 2002 book.

Celiac Information
This is an excellent book for anyone who has Celiac disease , or for anyone who has a childwith Celiac disease .The information is up to date & provides legitimate web sites , for support or for more medical information.

Help for a Celiac Newbie
I had never heard of Celiac Disease until I got a call from my Dr saying I had tested positive. After five minutes on the Internet I began to cry!! What CAN I eat?? This is the first cook book I bought when at a nutritional store for the first time (Talk about overwhelmed!!). As I read through this book Ireceived my first ray of hope that I CAN do this. I have tried some of the recipes all with good results. The bread I made is simply delicious. I actually can have sandwiches!!! I am going to give away all my other cookbooks ( I have quite a collection from the past forty years or so) and just keep Bette's. I will say that some of the ingredients are not the most healthy (Butter flavored Crisco), but let me be honest, I didn't always cook or eat totally healthy (croissants, pie, cake, cinnamon buns) before my diagnoses! It is a wonderful encouragement to me to know, that while I cannot make a steady diet of these treats, I can make them for myself fairly easily. I highly recommend this cookbook for those who are willing to put some initial time into advance preparation. Frankly, I am thrilled to know I can enjoy pumpkin pie and my family's traditional corn bread stuffing this Thanksgiving!

The Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy: Wheat-free and Gluten-Free with Less Fuss and Less Fat
Great Book, great, fast recipes. Lots of good helpful ideas. Just no nutrition information on each recipe.

Simple yet excellent recipes that all family members like!
When I found out I had Celiac disease,I immediately ordered several recipe books.The Gluten Free Gourmet is filled with recipes that are simple, tasty and helps me make meals my whole family can enjoy.This has not been the case with other books.The author also gives knowledgable insight to the challeges of having Celiac disease but quickly moves on to a positive outlook on living the best life you can despite the many lifestyle changes by outlining some resources & providing hope and encouragement.

Neither fast nor healthy, but darn good recipes
I have celiac disease, which is essentially an allergy to wheat protein, and I've been GF for 5 years now. (Why does that sound like I'm at an AA meeting?) Bette Hagman's books are the first couple of books that I got, and they're pretty good. *GFG-Fast & Healthy* is one of my favorites because it has some great recipes in it. However, I have no idea why she called it what she did. Maybe she lightened up some of the recipes compared to her 1950's style of cooking in the original GFG book, but after doing Ornish (*Eat More, Weigh Less*, Dean Ornish) for a couple years before I was diagnosed (familial high cholesterol), I can't imagine how anyone thinks that using this much butter, cheese, margarine, or butter-flavored Crisco (!!!) could be in any way labeled "healthy." Including recipes for salmon, curried shrimp, or mulligatawny soup was just silly. You can get those recipes in GF form anywhere. Maybe the title was wishful thinking.

However, some of my favorite recipes are in this book:

Pizza crust - p242 - 5 ingredients. Only 5! Tastes great, too. Husband prefers it to regular.

Spicy corn muffins - p103 - fantastic!

Banana bread - p98 - My first successful GF baked product.

Veggie muffins - p101 - tasty and good.

Salem crumpets as pizza crust - p95 - tasty for a change, but I like p242 better.

TK Kenyon

I carry it with me on long trips...
A wide range of recipes, a clear method of instruction, the fact thatI'm gluten-intolerant and allergic to wheat and the sheer amount of recipes make this one of my favorite cookbooks.May not be so useful for those without a true need for it, but if you're GF, you've GOT to have this one. ...
