Product Description
Ideal cookbook for many health conditions: The Gluten-Free Vegan is a groundbreaking cookbook, combining both special diets for healthier, allergy-free eating. Millions of Americans have health conditions like celiac disease, fibromyalgia, or food allergies that require a gluten- and/or dairy-restricted diet. In addition, going vegetarian/vegan is fast becoming mainstream, and many vegans are also looking to cut gluten from their diet. The Gluten-Free Vegan offers solutions for anyone seeking a tasty approach to healthier eating. Quick, easy, and delicious recipes: Written by a food-allergy sufferer and gourmet cook, this collection includes more than 150 healthy recipes for a wide range of dishes that are both gluten-free and vegan. The cookbook also includes guidelines of each dietary restriction, information on sugars, raw foods and organic foods, advice on ingredient preparation, quick-cooking tips, and resources for easily finding ingredients.

 lots of ideas for non-vegetarians as well April 22, 2008

Although I'm not ever going to be a vegetarian, I find lots of useful recipes in vegan cookbooks. A co-worker and I shared this library book today and I found so many useful ideas and taste combos I'm ordering it for my personal library! The addition of a 1/4 cup of shredded poultry breast meat to most main-dish recipes will make many of these recipes useful for me. Omit the salt and replace the soy-based ingredients with dairy and I'm good to go. That's easy! Most folks with health concerns are used to these kinds of simple replacements. Negatives: No effort is made to avoid anti-thyroid foods (soy and tapioca flour), but most gluten-free cookbooks ignore that health risk. Although the author explores sugar alternatives, including agave nectar, she omits stevia, which is a serious omission.
 Best Cookbook I own April 16, 2008

Wow! I received this book about two weeks ago and have tried maybe 10 or so recipes. All of them were great! And I don't mean, "yeah, this is Ok considering it is vegan and gluten free". I mean, "Wow! This is really, really good!" I had a friend over for a few of the meals as a "guinea pig" and she couldn't get enough and told me she's be a guinea pig any day! I'm a vegetarian and have all of the cookbooks you can imagine. I've never had one that I've tried multiple recipes and all of them are amazing. Can't recommend this enough!
 Just okay for our family April 5, 2008

I would love for someone to come out with a gluten free vegan book with KID FRIENDLY recipes, this is not it.
The problem I have is that we might use 5 of the recipes in the book on a regular basis, and I am always looking for new things to add to our boring diet.
I do appreciate that it is gluten free VEGAN, meaning all other dairy (which we can't have) and animal products are not in the recipes so I don't have to modify, which I have to do all the time.
Overall it just wasn't all I hoped it would be!
The new family favorite cookbook February 14, 2008
Blunn Creek (Austin, Texas USA)

If you are looking for recipes that are packed with flavor and nutritional value, you need not go any further than this book. The Yam & Black Bean Burritos quickly became a family favorite as did the Mushroom Nut Loaf. The Carrot Cake could go head to head with one made in the traditional manner and still come out the winner. The Quinoa Coffee Cake is delicious, dense, moist and flavorful.
The main course recipes use familiar, whole foods that you don't have to travel to a health food store to purchase. If you are accustomed to stocking a gluten free baking pantry, you will find the desserts do not need any special ingredients. The typical flours are used: sorghum, brown rice, tapioca, quinoa, and arrowroot.
Best of all, these recipes are EASY. Many are one dish meals (yea!) that go beautifully with a simple salad on the side. The deserts are sweetened with just the right amount of agave nectar (perhaps the only ingredient you won't have at your local grocer. However, it is available via Amazon.com). I'll wager friends and family members that are not Vegan or gluten intolerant will love these recipes.
Please note, if you are sensitive to nuts you need to look elsewhere. The vast majority of the recipes here use tree nuts. However, if gluten and animal products are your only foes, this book is a must have.
Highly recommended for everyone who loves flavorful and healthy whole foods.
Awesome biscuits January 25, 2008

4 out of 4 found this review helpful
So, just to satisfy cravings and as a good judge of character, I always check a cookbook to see how the biscuits turn out. Excellent biscuits (though I used less baking powder--didn't get very puffy but still tasted awesome, and what I remembered of the real thing), and a good mix of recipes that covers some basics and some exotic treats all in a small package. The book calls for a lot of "normal" ingredients, so for a college kid it's not to difficult to enjoy. My only issue is the oats thing, so just skip that paragraph and substitute when you get to the (2 or 3) recipes that call for oats.
