Scan the bakery shelf at any grocery store and you?ll see that gluten-free foods are not cheap. A lot of commercially made gluten-free baked goods don?t even taste very good. Nicole Hunn solves that problem with her latest cookbook, Gluten-Free on a Shoestring, Quick and Easy
The first chapter discusses gluten-free possibilities. The author lists her favorite gluten-free convenience items and commercially available gluten-free flour and flour mixes. She also includes a homemade gluten-free flour mix, which she uses in many of the recipes in the book.
Most of the recipes are vegetarian and some are vegan. Each recipe ends with a price comparison between the homemade version and the store-bought version. The exact amount of savings will vary according to prices in your area, but the savings is always significant.
One hundred recipes are split between six chapters:
Breakfast and Brunch ? The most important meal of the day. The author adapts classic breakfast foods like biscuits, oatmeal, protein bars, and even doughnuts and makes the recipes quick and easy.
Breads: Quicker and Quickest ? With the gluten-free flours and the gluten-free flour mix listed at the beginning of the book, baking breads isn?t so difficult. This chapter contains several sandwich breads, muffins, pita bread, crackers, pastries, and more. Try the pan de bono recipe from this chapter included at the end of this review.
Meatless Mondays ? Hearty vegetarian dishes fill this chapter. Calzones, paella, burritos, and more.
Weekday Workday Dinners ? These are classic family dishes that your mom probably made when you were a kid. Meatball soup, enchiladas, pot pies, and other familiar dinners are remade to be gluten-free.
Shortcut Desserts ? What is dinner without dessert? Cakes, brownies, cookies, mousse pie ? you can?t go wrong with this chapter. If you?re sad that Hostess went bankrupt, you can find twinkie-style cupcakes and ho ho-style cakes in here.
Make-Your-Own Mixes ? Having the dry ingredients premixed for cakes, waffles, scones, and more can save a bit of time and reduce errors when you?re in a hurry.
