Book on gluten free cooking------

I have a young daughter who was recently diagnosed with Celiac. Ordering this book was a great help to her in determining what to eat. This book was definitely written with a young person in mind. THANKS SO MUCH---------

Beyond Rice Cakes

A wonderful book for all and especially for people who live alone both young and old. Disregard Maltin's "young person" focus. Regardless of your age you will enjoy reading the book and using the recipes. Maltin writes with a practical and humorous view of reality. There are a lot of great tips and good advice in addition to the recipes. I am a senior citizen who lives alone who has cooked a lot of complicated recipes--this is one of my favorite books.

Great book, Great author

Beyond Rice Cakes is a fantastic book, and I don't even have Celiac Disease. The recipes are easy to make and taste great too. Maltin's positive attitude about being diagnosed with the disease, and her proactive approach to treating it and helping others to treat it is incredible. Her humerous story telling in this book makes it an even better read and should help convince anyone with the disease that it's best to laugh about it...and eat some fantastic gluten-free foods in the meantime.

Great book for the gluten-free!

Beyond Rice Cakes is hilarious and really makes gluten-free cooking seem easy for people with celiac disease. The gluten-free recipes are quite tasty and very simple to make. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends with celiac.

Lifesaver!

I've suffered from celiacs for years, and have been unable to find a cookbook with more than one or two recipes I can follow to a tee. "Beyond Rice Cakes" has renewed my palate. Now, instead of dreading meals, I look forward to the delicious options available to us gluten-free girls!
