Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Comfort Foods

Bette Hagman's books are lifesavers and Godsends and I have them all. She makes the art of cooking gluten free and keeping a gluten free kitchen easy, logical and workable. You don't have to separate the wheat from the chaff - just regard the wheat AS chaff and you are on your way to a gluten free lifestyle! Cooks who follow Bette's methods do work - you will need several different types of flours to make breads and bread desserts, such as cakes. Be sure to freeze your foods because they won't last long. It is also a good idea to cook in portions so as to prevent food from going bad. Thanks to Bette, I have learned about hemp bread for celiac disease and for anybody following a gluten/casein free regimen and Teff Flour. There are many good websites out there that can direct you to places where you can buy the foods and equipment you need to start enjoying your gluten/casein free life. Bette Hagman is truly a Food Warden. She has given people that much needed Get Out of Jail Free card to break out of the prison of old eating habits and a Passport to Better and Healthier Living. Cheers to Bette Hagman!

This author remains the best in gluten free cooking. Our family turns to her first when looking for a cookbook with delicious gluten free recipes.

Bette takes the guess work out of gluten free recipes. She has done all the experimenting for us! If you are willing to buy several different kinds of flours and starches to make your own baking mixes, this book provides MANY great recipes for using those mixes. I have tried many of the muffin, quick bread, and waffle recipes, and have not been disappointed yet. The baked goods don't stay fresh for long (maybe a day or two at the most), so I put everything in the freezer. It works out very well! I also have Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread, but I like Comfort Foods better. She uses more of the "newer" flours (like Teff), which I have found really lend a lot to wheat free baked goods.

The best selection of favorite foods converted so that celiacs and wheat intolerant people can once again enjoy cooking and eating.

Bette Hagman has several great books on cooking without gluten. My son is gluten, dairy and soy free so good cookbooks are a must. Best of luck in culinary arts class. I am in culinary school and am hoping to have a restaurant for people who have food allergies. If you are looking for books Bette Hagman has the best I have seen.
