Are the recipes Egg- Free and Vegan Friendly?
100% of the recipes can be made with or without Dairy based products. Over 50% of the recipes are egg free. Each book will include a detailed guide that will teach you how to swap out the eggs in many of the remaining recipes- and in your own recipe applications.

Each recipe in both books was tested with a variety of unrefined and sugar free sugar alternatives. Throughout each book there are suggestions and provided instruction to help you make the best substitutions to meet your dietary needs. You won’t want to miss the section dedicated just to sugar provided in both Part 1 and Part 2.

Everything looks amazing! I’m on the fence about buying these, simply because I’m Paleo. Is there a way I can make the non-Paleo recipes into Paleo by substituting the flours in the recipes? I very much want to buy these books and support all the hard work and efforts put into these books.

Still checking for you on http://www.bookdepository.co.uk – any word from the publisher if your books will go there?

Thanks

I pre-ordered on Amazon and can’t WAIT to get this book. My husband and I are in the process of buying a farm so I can produce some g-free flours and in a few years (after I have this baby), start a completely gluten free bed and breakfast in the hill country of Texas! I want to have my breakfast recipes refined to perfection so when I’m ready, I’m ready! Thanks for all your hard work.

Jana, please let me know how your venture goes! I would love to travel to a B&B that is far enough from home to get away but close enough we don’t have to worry about leaving the kids with grandma for a day or two. :) Good luck!

These books look great. I would especially love it if I won the Essential Gluten Free Baking Guide, Part 1, as I can’t do any grains at all. I love your recipes.

I purchased both of your books on Amazon. I LOVE all the great information about how each type of gluten free flour works in different applications. Your information has answered so many of my questions and helped me figure out why one of my recipe creations turned out differently just from switching the type of rice flour I was using. A friend of mine also purchased both of your books and loves all the great recipes you put in. I would suggest anyone who is gluten free who love great easy recipes or even if they love creating their own recipes to purchase both books.

The cookbooks look great. Ihave been eyeing them since they were announced. Love the dairy and sugar alternatives!!! Very helpful! I usually use sorghum, rice and almond flours. Either book would be lovely, but I might use Part 1 a little more. Thanks for the offer!

Oh, yum…I can’t decide. Homemade graham crackers, tortillas, naan!, fig newtons. Just being able to have so many choices already deciphered for you sounds nice. Thanks for doing all the work!

I came across your site while trying to figure out how to make crackers from Chestnut flour. It was suggested that the gluten free child in my life needs to have more of the protein rich flours in their diet. Many of the gluten free products I have purchased are rice based completely or a large part of their make up. I have had mixed success in gluten free baking in the past, and the idea that I can have in my cookbook library, books that explain why I am going to have better luck with one flour than another in a given recipe HOW GREAT IS THAT! And the fact that all the recipes are soy free, and are suitable for no dairy makes this a necessity in my library, so I will not longer have to figure out those substitutes on my own. Will purchase them as soon as the budget allows. Thank you Brittany and Iris

So, I have been diagnosed with hyptothyroidism for years…but still feel terrible. I found a new doctor and before I even met him he told me to go on a gluten and dairy free diet. I thought it would be easy…I’m finding that the dairy free is much more difficult. I was doing research on food lists when your blog showed up. I saw a little “gluten free” sign with a sunflower on it and thought “hm…that looks like the same sign they use at Wegmans…they must use that sign in lots of places”. Then as I come back I see that some of your receipes mention Wegmans! So I think “Woah she must be from around me!” How cook this is! This makes things so much easier since it appears that many of the ingredients to these yummy looking recipes are in my “backyard” (so to speak). I’m very happy I found you and this looks like a great reference for me! I’m new at this but hoping it helps.
Thank you so much!

Hi Brittany! What an awesome website! I feel like I have so much in common with you: hypothyroid, laundry list of food allergies, candida issues, but as well, two years ago I developed an auto-immune disease (ulcerative colitis). I am always searching for ways to make the food that I can eat more exciting and appealing and to that end, I tip my hat to you! Thanks for such a great resource. :)

HELP! I’m so excited to make my first recipe from your book – I’m right in the middle of it and I found an error that has stopped me in my tracks! Please help!
In the Whiskey Brownies…. it calls for
65g brown rice flour (1/2 lightly filled cup)
136g amaranth flour (1/3 lightly filled cup)

This can’t be right! 136g is more than 65 g but your cup estimates are the opposite! Should it be 36g of amaranth not 136g ??
Ackkkkkkk……… I hope you read this soon!
Melissa
