Sometimes I need to avoid gluten and I know several people with an intolerance. I've tried making cakes with gluten free flower, and while they've been "OK", that's as far as they went. I have a good friend who makes super gluten free cupcakes as part of her full (porfessional) range, but I can't keep asking her to make mine!I was glad, therefore, to come across this book. I knew I was onto a winner as soon as I read the first part of the introduction: "All too often the gluten free cupcake is a beautiful little delicacy to look at, but can taste anything from dry, to gritty and in some cases, will leave a strange aftertaste in the mouth." I knew she understood!Jenny Robertson has come up with a variety of recipes, each one explained well. My favourites are the spiced apple and rose scented cupcakes. She also shows us how to make light, tasty frostings.I'm pleased to say all the cupcakes so far have turned out very tasty. Recommended.EDIT: Penny Evans (see her review on this page) complains there isn't a section explaining about flours - there is; she missed it. Look just before the recipes start.
