#Great book to have! Celiacs really can have baked goods... (2004-03-01) If you are looking for lots of ",low sugar", recipes, this is not the book for you. But if you are a celiac or cook for a celiac (like I do) and you want to eat ",normal", things, you ve got to have this book! I rely heavily on this book so that I can make things for my husband like the rest of the world eats: pizza, cake, cookies, hamburger buns, and french bread just to name a few. (I think the french bread recipe is the best gluten-free thing I have ever had!) I really don t use the main cours...

#This book is a must-have! (2003-08-20) This is my first of Bette Hagman s books. I first checked it out at the library and then ordered it from Amazon. The recipes are simple, yet tasty. The breads taste like regular bread (not dry or crumbly) and the brownies are just wonderful. I was so thrilled to be able to make bread and dessert for my daughter and actually have it taste good. It definitely makes me feel better to be able to offer her an alternative that isn t dry or tasteless. This book is a definite must for anyone needing to cook gluten-free. Thanks to this book, my daug...

#Great recipes! Definitely fast (2003-01-17) This was my first Bette Hagman cookbook and it was not my last. As a person who must now cook and bake for a celiac I must say that baking is no longer a choice, it is a necessity. I knew very little when I picked up this book. As I read it, I learned that I needed to restructure my kitchen training, but I need not be afraid of using new ingredients. After consulting this book, I could quickly make a complete dinner including desert that tasted great and fulfilled our nutritional needs. Goodbye chicken, rice and steamed broccoli fo...

#AWESOME Gluten Free Bible!! (2003-01-17) This book, along with Betty s others, is a MUST have for any person with Celiac Disease. Her recipes give hope that we might eat ",normal", food again. Wonderful tasty recipes and good information at the beginning of the book also. BUY IT!!

#The recipes are gluten free, but healthy it s not! (2002-05-11) I read all the reviews before I bought this book and assumed it was a good book for people allergic to gluten looking for healthy recipes. If you consider brown sugar, confectioner s sugar, white sugar, corn syrup, margarine, Butter Flavored Crisco, canned vegetables, and soda healthy ingredients then by all means this book is for you. But, if you re like me and have health problems then I would suggest not buying this book. You d be better off buying prepared gluten free flour and adapting recipes you already...

#This Book Is All You Really Need! (2006-09-22) This book is the best thing since sliced bread! After searching high and low for a decent book on gluten free bread, I stumbled across this book and haven t looked back since. There are so many great receipes that are extremely easy to follow. You can t go wrong even if you are just a beginner. It also has receipes for egg free, lactose free, yeast free and many other allergy free variations. This book is really all you need. The bread is a thousand times better than any gluten free bread that you can buy in the stores. Maybe the man...

#GFG Bakes Bread is Great! (2003-08-05) My children and I were diagnosed with food allergies 1 1/2 yrs ago. I tried quite a few food allergy cookbooks. The results ranged from tolerable to absolutely gross. I wasn t sure if there were any decent recipes out there for wheat, dairy and egg allergies. There are. Ms. Hagnman is absolutely wonderful. Her recipes make our food life much more enjoyable. We especially enjoy her hamburger bun recipe. Anyone out there looking for easy and delicious allergy recipes, this is the place.

#too time-consuming! (2003-02-23) I checked out a copy of the book from the library before buying it. After making 3 of the recipes, including some that she says are her regular breads, I found them too time-consuming for the outcome. Roben Ryberg s breads are much simpler for the small difference in taste. If you have the time, though, go for it!

#Thank God for Betty!! (2003-01-17) If you are diagnosed with Celiac Disease Betty Hageman s books are a MUST BUY!! She is a plethora of information and great recipes!! The best part is she speaks from experience.

#Great Glutten-free book for dummies (2002-09-02) If you have a wheat intolerance this is the book to get. And if you have never made bread, this is the book to get. It explains every step with straight forward instructions. . . . Happy baking!

#Thankyou Jax!!! (2006-05-09) I was diagnosed celiac two years ago, and have strayed from my diet numerous times since then, because of a lack of information and a lack of a sense of importance with the diet. Jax writes about celiac disease in a clear manner illustrating her points from real life experience thereby helping one to realize the true importance of the gluten free diet. She gives resources and information that are of paramont importance to celiacs in this book helping us to fumble through a glutenous world gluten free. Thank you Jax, this book has literally changed my lif...

#A Very Comprehensive Guide (2005-06-29) Jax Peters Lowell has done an excellent job of providing a comprehensive resource for people with celiac disease. She mixes facts with humour and manages to make life with celiac disease seem like an adventure, rather than a curse. Not only are the basics here (safe and unsafe foods, related medical problems, internet resources, etc. ) but she also deals with the emotional side of celiac disease and its effect on relationships with family and friends. After reading the first chapter, I bought an extra copy for my father, who also has celiac d...

#Happy Days are here again... (2001-08-08) Thank you, Thank you Bette Hagman for taking your disease and making such a wonderful contribution to the rest of the world. I have a husband and now a nephew that both need the gluten free programs, except when I first started with my husband most doctors did not have a clue what we were dealing with. I even went to a dietician at the hospital and she walked away with 3 pages of information, and I had nothing,I just paid the office fee. I made up a lot of things on my own but until I found Bette, I could never seem to find a way to put bre...
