It was the title that first attracted my attention - I had heard of phrases like 'Sugar free', 'cholesterol free' or ' less fat' etc. Till I saw the title, gluten was not in my vocabulary list. The first benefit of reading this book was my vocabulary list got extended.I have been having a peculiar skin problem for nearly 30 years now. Every now and then, at the bottom of my left middle finger, itching will start and later will become a boil and will grow like a small bubble and after three days, it start waning. Slowly, it will be back to normal again. Again, after 2 or three months, the process will repeat itself.  The doctors suggested that one possible reason may be the wheat flour (I eat roti), and was wondering what can cause it!But then I moved out from Chennai to Rajasthan where in 9 years, I got it just 3 or 4 times and now I have returned back to Chennai and in 4 months it has surfaced twice.Now reading this book made me realize that my problem may be related to this gluten – I don’t know it yet – but it has certainly given me food for thought.If finally, I find out that this is the main culprit, the entire credit would certainly go to the book for having introduced the term to me.Most of the recipes in the book cater to the non – veg dishes and so I could not get much from that in terms of recipes. But still as I said, it has certainly created an appetite in me to look for more details about gluten.
