The Gluten-free Gourmet Makes Dessert: More Than 200 Wheat-free Recipes for Cakes, Cookies, Pies and Other Sweets
With four previous books on the topic to her credit, Hagman is  the authority on cooking for those with celiac disease and  others allergic to wheat. This time she provides more than 200  recipes for sweet baked goods, from Lemon Spice Cake to Mock  Oreos (for Oreo-deprived kids) to Mud Pie. Some of the recipes  are appropriate for those with other dietary restrictions as  well, and there's also a separate chapter of recipes that  require no special ingredients (such as the special flours,  xanthan gum, etc., with which many gluten-free baked goods are  made). Sure to be in demand, this is highly recommended. Reilly, host of the PBS series New England Cooking, is a former  chef who trained at the esteemed Le Netre Petissier in Paris.  She first started preparing wheat-free recipes for some of her  catering clients and continued when her son was found to have  many food allergies. Her book includes both savory recipes, such  as Spinach and Pepper Quiche, and sweet ones, from Walnut Orange  Biscotti to Tarte Tatin. Reilly writes well, and she offers  invaluable information on baking techniques, along with somewhat  more sophisticated recipes than Hagman's. Her book, too, is  highly recommended for subject collections.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
