Full Description
Gluten-free breads, cookies, cakes and cupcakes are everywhere-and many of them actually taste good these days. A sigh of relief-a big sigh-comes, and then...a scream, because, oh, what's this? Those cookies have how many calories? In his new book, Cooking Light Gluten-Free Baking, author Robert Landolphi (The Gluten-Free Chef), offers a delicious antidote. This book is for the gluten-free baker who is longing for heavenly baked items that will be enjoyable for everyone, and still provide healthy, nutritious choices without sabotaging anyone's diet. With more than 150 from-scratch recipes covering a range of baked goods; pancakes, cookies, muffins, biscuits, quick breads, cobblers, pizza crusts and much more. You'll also find a helpful getting-started section filled with advice, tips on converting traditional recipes into tasty gluten-free treats, a conversion chart for replacing cow's-milk ingredients with lactose-free options, and hundreds of other tips to ensure success in a gluten-free kitchen. It includes a glossary detailing each of the gluten-free flours, as well as a tutorial on how to convert any wheat-based recipe to a gluten-free version by blending the right flours and starches. Due to the high incidence of lactose intolerance among individuals with gluten intolerance and celiac disease, there's a conversion chart with suggestions for removing cow's-milk ingredients and replacing them with nutrient-dense, calcium-filled, and reduced-fat dairy-free substitutions.
