Review
Gluten-Free Baking Classics contains a recipe for chocolate chip cookies that Gourmet magazine claimed were perfect and dared anyone to detect that they werent made with traditional wheat flour. I took the challenge and tried a test recipe on chocolate chip cookie-lovers
only to find that Gourmet was right and I didnt have enough taste samples to keep up with their enthusiastic appetites.”

[Robertss] kitchen tested recipes make her baked goods lighter, and fluffier than the rest.”
Donna Gray, Calgary Herald
We were captivated by these perfect chocolate chip cookies, [with their] crisp yet yielding texture, and we dare anyone to detect they werent made with traditional wheat flour
[the] rich but light
cake loses nothing from the absence of white flour.”
Gourmet
This remarkable cookbook contains mouthwatering recipes, the directions are easy to follow and the hints are a welcome extra bonus.”
Elaine Monarch, Executive Director, Celiac Disease Foundation
This wonderful book by Annalise Roberts is very readable, and the recipes taste great!”
Peter H.R. Green, M.D. and Anne R. Lee, R.D., Celiac Disease Center, Columbia
An excellent cookbook. This is rare. I've seen some absolutely dreadful gluten-free
cookbooks....As far as the dishes, YUM! Not a single flop so far and that's saying a lot.”
