[How Can It Be Gluten Free 01] • The How Can It Be Gluten Free Cookbook

More than 3 million people have a serious health issue that requires that they eat gluten free. In addition, many people with chronic health issues experience relief of symptoms by following a gluten-free diet. But perhaps the largest growing market for gluten-free products is the segment of the population who have become convinced that a gluten-free diet is healthier and will help them lose weight. All too often, those who have to eat gluten-free are forced to settle for gummy, gritty baked goods and gluten-free products that are a far cry from the real deal. This is because baking without gluten is incredibly difficult and simple substitutions just don t cut it. With this book America's Test Kitchen has tackled classic baked goods including pizza dough and yeast breads that look and taste like the real deal. The bulk of this book is devoted to baked goods, from everyday recipes like pancakes, waffles, and muffins to cookies and bars, pies and tarts, yeast breads, pizza, quick breads, and cakes. But we also wanted to solve the problem of what s for dinner too so we rounded out the book with additional categories of recipes. A chapter on comfort foods tackles recipes like meatloaf, chicken tenders, and lasagna. The pasta chapter includes a recipe for our homemade GF pasta as well as recipes using our favorite brand of GF pasta. The grains chapter covers the wide range of gluten-free grains that are now sold in pretty much every American supermarket with an array of approachable, appealing recipes.
