Gluten-free almond flour cookbook review
If you have celiac (or cook for people who have), I highly recommend trying Elana Amsterdam’s Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook. Every recipe from this book has been praised by my family and guests. Best of all, almond flour simplifies gluten-free baking by eliminating the need to use an expensive blend of non-standard flours.
The book contains chapters on the following topics:
Using almond flour
breakfast
bread and crackers
appetizers
Pies, pastries and crusts
Cakes and cupcakes
Cookies and bars
Additions, syrups, and sauces
I had never used almond flour before i bought this cookbook and was pleasantly surprised. It is highly nutritious and has a great taste and texture. I gave up gluten free baking because i did not want to find and keep around 10 different mystery flours and because i was not happy with the results. Almond flour replaces complex mixes and makes gluten-free baking a breeze.
All recipes are simple, short and easy to prepare. They call out ingredients you likely have on hand making it easy to try a new recipe right away. The first recipe I tried was herb crackers. I have never seen my family devour a plate of cookies so quickly and with such pleasure. I now use this cookbook more than any other.
I am the only person in my family with celiac and I greatly appreciate having a cookbook full of recipes we all love. The recipes are also free of dairy and soy, making them suitable for people with sensitivities to those foods. But you don’t have to have a food allergy to love this cookbook! Elana Amsterdam has mastered the art of creating healthy, easy, and delicious dishes that everyone can enjoy.
I highly recommend the gluten-free almond flour cookbook and would also like to thank the author for helping make our lives healthier and easier!
